Original 1826 Avignon edition of Anecdotes Chrétiennes, ou Recueil de Traits d’Histoire Choisis by Abbé Reyre, issued by Offray Fils Aîné. This is the seventh edition, Tome Premier.
The work is a collection of moral and historical narratives designed for the religious education of youth and the moral instruction of the faithful. Written in an accessible didactic style, it reflects the pedagogical ideals of Catholic education during the Bourbon Restoration period in France.
Such devotional educational books formed a central part of family and parish instruction in early 19th-century Europe and represent an important genre of religious teaching literature.
