Histoire des diables de Loudun ou de la possession des religieuses ursulines et de la condamnation et du suplice d'Urbain Grandier ...

Aubin, Nicolas · 1752 · aux dépens de la Compagnie · 4 pictures

A French account of the Loudun possession scandal, the nuns of the Ursuline convent and the trial and execution of the priest Urbain Grandier, written by Nicolas Aubin and published in 1752 by a company of booksellers. The four pictures are decorative headpieces and ornaments in the printer's style, plus one engraved courtroom scene labelled 'Juges des Diables de Loudun'; the ornaments show scrolled cartouches, floral urns, and a sunburst face, useful for borders and period vignettes, while the courtroom engraving shows dense crosshatched tailoring and draped stage-like interiors.
