Publication Details: Paris: [De l'Imprimerie de J. B. Cusson], Jean Guignard, 1698
Notes: An extremely rare (the only copy we can locate is in the BNF), brief, and vigourous, exposition of the virtues according to established religion, heavy on the sins of the flesh. It is in two parts: Vertus Théologales, and Vertus Cardinales. The second part is less intensely religious, and strays into the prudential. The author refers to the work as 'un fruit du Desert', aluding to his solitary retreat.
