Description
Richeome, (Louis) - Huguenot idolatry. Figurée au patron de la vieille payenne. Divisée en huict livres et dediée au Roy très chrestien de France et de Navarre Henri IIII. Arras, Guillaume de la Riviere 1608. In-8° full contemporary vellum, engraved title. Rare first edition of this text, published here outside France in Arras. Louis Richeome, who claims to be part of the oldest Christian tradition, points out that confusing image and idol is tantamount to "confusing species with genus", as if "someone were to say that the word buzzard is the same as oyseau". Every idol is an image, but not every image is an idol. "The Idol is only a kind of image, and always a bad one. The idol is opposed to the image in the same way that a lie is opposed to the truth. Good condition, a few annotations in ink.
