Description
Summary:Verses for lettters A to L in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Each takes a Latin title of praise for her from the writings of the Church Fathers and sermons. Examples include Amica Dei, Ancilla Domini, Balsamum Aromatisans, Cadelabrum Aureum, Femina Lucis, Formosa inter Filias, Haereseos Domitrix, etc. There are several for each letter.
Item Description:In the preface Vincart says this alphabet took him five years, composing an éloge on a Sunday once a month. He planned a second volume, for letters M through Z. This did not appear, but seven years later he published Elogia Mariana alphateticis literis ordine digesta, based on the same theme, but as explanations of each title, rather than verse.
Another text, Paraphrases dediées a messieurs de la Sodalité de la Sainte Vierge by a Congreganiste, follows on pages 53-63.
