New translation from Spanish into French by Mr Raclots – The Works. Part Two, containing the seven Visions: of the Demonic Algoüazil, of Death, of the Last Judgement, of the Mad Lovers, of the World Within Itself, of Hell, and of the Reformed Hell. Brussels, Josse de Grieck, 1699. 2 vols. in-12, (2) folios, including the frontispiece, 528, (7) folios; (2) folios, including the frontispiece, 420 pp. 30 full-page illustrations by Jacobus Harrewÿn, maroon morocco binding, ribbed spine, internal perforation. LEVER 333. LOSADA GOYA no. 308. The *Illustrated Visions* with their highly curious figures enjoyed great success. They were likened to a carnival spectacle, a vanities fair, a kaleidoscope of absurdities presented by a sardonic and mocking Master Pedro. They influenced Sorel, Cyrano de Bergerac, Le Sage, and many others. Handwritten bookplate dated 1702 by Gédéon-Antoine Le Menestrel de Marcilly (President of the Grand Council).
