[FLOURNOIS, Gédéon]: Les Entretiens des voyageurs sur la mer [in which several affairs concerning the State and religion are discussed]. Cologne, Pierre Marteau, 1683. Two volumes. 7,5 by 13 cm. (24)-323 ; (24)-389 pages. Full contemporary calf, spine with four raised bands, ornate caissons, roulette on the edges. Trace of old restoration well done. Very good condition inside. First edition of this Protestant utopia by the Swiss pastor Flournois (1639-1686), published on the eve of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. The protagonists (mainly Protestants - of various persuasions - but also two Jews, an Anabaptist, an Armenian and two Jesuits) are shipwrecked on an island near South Africa where they continue their religious debates begun on the deck of the ship. They focus on the state of the Reformed religion in France. A rare book, here in a beautiful condition.
