First edition. "These memoirs by a priest of Saint-Sulpice are as important for the history of Jansenism in Anjou as for that of the seminary itself. They relate to the role played by Bishop Henri Arnauld, to whom the author, while fighting him, does justice. Grandet, in fact, recounts all his efforts to make the seminary dependent on Saint-Sulpice, and the struggles he waged against the Jansenists. He examines the question of the formulary in 1665 and that of fact and law: he is opposed to the declaration of 1682. He extends his memoirs as far back as 1690 and, through the detailed details he provides, has made it a very useful contribution to the Jansenist quarrel in Anjou."
