La Vie de Soeur Marguerite du S. Sacrement, Religieuse Carmelite du Monastere de Beaune. Composee par un Prestre de la Congregation de l'Oratoire de Nostre Seigneur Iesus-Christ, Docteur en Theologie

8vo. pp. (40), 744, (12). Contemporary calf. Printing flaws to prelims, no loss of text. Ex-libris of the Carmelites of Orleans. First edition, published just six years after Soeur Marguerite’s death. “Notwithstanding the strict enclosure of the Carmelite order [Marguerite] had developed a widespread reputation as a visionary with divine gifts of prophecy and healing… for two days before the funeral, crowds of mourners had pressed a team of Oratorian priests to touch some 20,000 rosaries to Marguerite's corpse so that each might be a tangible reminder of her spiritual gifts” (Cupples, "Catholic Women and the Communication of Relics in Seventeenth-Century France”). The BnF catalogue mistakenly transcribes the date of their MDCLV edition as 1650, but no 1650 edition in fact exists
