Jean-Baptiste de la Croix De Chevrières de Saint-Vallier, 1688

SAINT-VALLIER, Jean-Baptiste de la Croix De Chevrières de (1653-1727). Estat present de l'eglise et de la colonie Françoise dans la Nouvelle France. Paris: widow of Denis Langlois for Robert Pepie, 1688.



First edition of a rare early history of the Diocese of Quebec. Saint-Vallier succeeded Laval as Bishop of Quebec, and paid a visit before his consecration to survey his new Diocese. He wrote this account of his trip in the form of a letter to a friend, describing the First Nations of the region and their relations with the French settlers and religious communities, including the Ursuline, Hospitaller, and Recollect sisters. “This is one of the rarest accounts of the missions published irregularly after the discontinuance of the annual Relations" (Bell). There is another issue with a variant title. Bell S57⁄8; Harrisse, Nouvelle France 159; Howes S-41; Streeter sale 3632; Church 707 (note); Sabin 23037 & 38506.



Octavo (189 x 120mm). Woodcut ornament on title, privilege at end (some light dustsoiling around edges). Contemporary calf, spine gilt in compartments, edges sprinkled red (corners and headcap neatly repaired). Provenance: "Thomas Maguires" (signature on title as well as marks in text) – Jesuit College of Sedan (inscription on title) – College Saint Marie, Montreal (later stamp on title).
