THE COLLECTED WORKS OF THE AUTHORITATIVE BELGIAN CANONIST
Van Espen, Zeger Bernard. Jus ecclesiasticum universum caeteraque scripta omnia ... Opus nativae integritati summo studio restitutum.Venetiis, apud A. Graziosi, 1769.
9 volumes (out of 10) in-folio, contemporary stiff vellum binding with gilt title at spine.
Title-page in red and black, woodcut headletters.
Fine Venetian edition of the collected works, published posthumous, of the renowned Belgian jurist and canonist Zeger-Bernard van Espen (1646-1728).
The influence of his thought, both theological and juridical, survived for two centuries in the Netherlands and in Europe.
Van Espen's career and life was ruined by the Jansenist controversy (about the Papal Bull Unigenitus), in which his Gallican tendencies concerning civil and ecclesiastical power aligned him more with Port-Royal than Rome. All of his works were placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum after his a divinis suspension for the support of the election of a Jansenist bishop of Utrecht. His early work was recognized by Pope Benedict XIV as authoritative.
