English Translation: " Story of the Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ"

"Histoire de la Vie de Notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ by Père de Ligny, published by Chez Perisse Frères Libraires in Lyon in 1836, is a reverent and scholarly two-volume account of the life, teachings, and passion of Jesus Christ. Written by the Jesuit theologian Charles de Ligny, the work draws upon the Gospels, Church tradition, and classical sources to present a harmonized and deeply devotional biography of Christ. De Ligny combines historical narrative with moral reflection, offering a vivid portrayal of the Holy Land and the principal figures of the New Testament while emphasizing the divine mission, compassion, and sacrifice of Christ as the foundation of Christian faith. The text's eloquent prose and theological insight reflect the learned piety of early 19th-century French Catholic scholarship.

Printed in Lyon by the distinguished house of Perisse Frères, this 1836 edition exemplifies the elegance of French religious publishing of the period, often featuring fine typography and ornamental title pages. The set remains both a spiritual and literary work of considerable merit, bridging historical inquiry with devotional meditation. It will appeal to collectors of early French theology, scholars of Jesuit literature, and readers drawn to classical biographies of Christ rendered with depth, beauty, and faith."
