1749 French manuscript on the subject of “respect in the temple,” i.e., proper spiritual comportment in church. The manuscript is of interest (beyond its topic) for retaining its contemporary wrapper made from a recycled Latin broadside advertising a 1749 lecture at the Jesuit College in Toulouse (on the need for innovation in the republic). The two talks were perhaps part of the same series.
