1" spine edge tear with chipping, cover soil, light cock, tone, owner's signature, otherwise light wear. Solid paperback. ; French language. Adaptation of 12th century abbot Gautier de Coincy's Marian devotional into modern French by Gonzague Truc, a well-crafted cultural bridge between medieval French spirituality and the French Catholic literary revival between the world wars. "The Miracles of Our Lady is one of the most popular works of Marianist literature from the period and it encapsulates a very particular set of Christian values, which saw in the Virgin Mary the most benevolent and humanistic aspect of salvation, intercession and mercy. Many of the songs are concerned with the key elements of the Virgin's earthly life - her conception, her birth, her childhood, her youth in the Temple, the events recorded in the Biblical gospels and her Dormition; the poems and stories are generally more concerned with her modern-day miracles." - Wikipedia.
