La Perpétuité de la foy de l'Eglise catholique touchant l'Eucharistie, déffendue contre les livres du Sieur Claude, ministre de Charenton

Arnauld, Antoine, 1612-1694, Nicole, Pierre, 1625-1695 · 1670 · Paris : C. Savreux · 1 picture

A 1670 Paris theological treatise by Antoine Arnauld and Pierre Nicole, defending Catholic teaching on the Eucharist against the Huguenot minister Jean Claude, printed by C. Savreux for a learned Catholic readership. The frontispiece is an engraved allegory: a veiled figure reads at left, a seated winged woman holds a book and a cross-topped staff at right, a putto hovers above, and a Latin tag (Alpha et omega, principium et finis) lies across an open book, with a laurel-and-ribbon cartouche below, suited to designers wanting classical emblematic framing and dense Baroque symmetry.
