Olivier Maillard (1430- Toulouse 1502), Franciscan friar, was one of the greatest Franciscan preachers of the end of the XVth century and confessor of king Charles VIII. He owes his reputation to the brutality of his sermons where he borrows from those he blames a coarse language, peppered with words taken from bad places. Printed in gothic characters, with two columns. Typographical mark of the Parisian printer Jean Petit on the title (Brunet III - 1316)(Adams I, 698)(Hain III, 10516). Provenance: From the library of Charles Henneguier (armorial stamp XIXth) - Ex-libris manuscript Joannes Corti.
