Printed 1715 Bound in leather with gold accents, Inscribed front leaf Measures 7" x 4" x 2" Jean Croiset Ascetical writer, b. at Marseilles, 1656; d. at Avignon, January 31, 1738 Quoted from the "Original Catholic Encyclopedia" "Croiset, JEAN, ascetical writer, b. at Marseilles, 1656; d. at Avignon, January 31, 1738. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1677, and was for a long time rector of the novitiate at Avignon, which he governed with great wisdom. He became famous as a director of consciences, and as a writer of many spiritual books which have been translated into several languages. His "Devotion to the Sacred Heart" appears to have been the first of his publications. He wrote also: "Retreats for Each Day of the Month"; "The Lives of the Saints for Each Day of the Year", in eighteen volumes, in the last of which is "The Life of Our Lord" and "The Life of the Blessed Virgin"; "The Model of Youth"; "Spiritual Illusions"; "Dialogues on Worldly Dangers"; "Parallel of the Morals of Our Age, with the Morality of Christ", etc. He also published collections of prayers. De Backer accuses Lamennais of having plagiarized from Croiset in his little work called "Guide du jeune age". Feller attributes a book of meditations also to Croiset. He is regarded as one of the great masters of the spiritual life. " T. J. CAMPBELL This book is offered outside out standard guarantee policy. Sold ASIS. No other guarantees offered or implied.
