‘This work, now fallen into oblivion, is intended to extol the talents and virtues of the Jansenists who died between 1605 and 1778, whom the author regarded as the sole defenders of the truth. Most of the men praised to excess in it are so obscure that their names are barely known.” (St-Etienne Media Library).
