Published by Chez Bonnet Fils Imprimeur Libraire: Avignon 1819

Volume 1 Only

"This early 19th-century ecclesiastical volume presents a structured catechetical guide issued under the authority of Georges-Lazare Berger de Charancy, Bishop of Montpellier, at a time when the French Church was rebuilding its educational and pastoral structures following the turbulence of the Revolution and Napoleonic era. Written in the traditional question-and-answer format, the work systematically teaches the principles of Catholic doctrine, moral instruction, sacramental practice and the duties of Christian life. Its tone is clear, pastoral and authoritative, reflecting the Church's renewed emphasis on uniform teaching and the spiritual formation of clergy, catechists and lay communities.

Printed in Avignon in 1819 by Bonnet Fils, one of the region's longstanding ecclesiastical presses, this Volume I stands as a representative artifact of post-Revolution French religious publishing—practical, doctrinal, and designed for wide clerical use. Early 19th-century French catechisms in original bindings are increasingly scarce, and this example carries particular historical interest for collectors of Catholic liturgical and instructional texts, students of French religious history, and those who appreciate early provincial printings associated with the restored diocesan Church."
