Catalogue Note
édition originale publiée par l'historien et théologien Louis Ellies du Pin d'après les papiers de La Bruyère que lui donna le frère de l'auteur. Elle comprend, outre les 7 dialogues de La Bruyère, deux discours par Ellies du Pin, à cette époque en grande difficulté avec les autorités religieuses françaises pour ses tendances jansénistes et ses efforts de conciliation avec les Anglicans et en particulier la correspondance qu'il entretenait avec l'archevêque de Cantorbery. Condamné par Rome, il perdit sa chaire au Collège royal, fut critiqué par le puissant Bossuet, et exilé. Il mourut en 1719. Il est l'auteur de l'excellente et très vivante Bibliothèque universelle des auteurs ecclésiastiques en 61 volumes (1686-1715).
