Description
Alexandre DUMAS. *The Pope before the Gospels, History and Human Reason*. A Reply to His Excellency Monsignor Dupanloup, Bishop of Orléans. Naples, Androsio Press, 1861.
In-8, paperback.
XXXI, 96 pp.
First edition. This text appeared simultaneously in Italian and French following a pre-publication in *L’Indipendente*.
This pamphlet is a response to the famous Bishop of Orléans, Monseigneur Dupanloup, an ardent defender of the Church’s privileges regarding temporal and spiritual power. Dumas, himself a sincere Catholic, defends the new ideas of liberty.
Dumas pours all his talent and verve into this fascinating religious polemic.
Munro, 334.
Minor flaws to the cover, very few foxing spots.
