1029. The French novelist, essayist and journalist Maurice Barrès (1862-1923) has numerous
books in wich it was his ambition to formulate, illustrate and educate the sensibility of his
generation. 'Un jardin sur l'Oronte' begins with an explanation of the circumstances of its writing,
from which it appears that in the summer of 1914 Barrès met a young Irishman, in charge of the
British Museum's excavations at Jerablus on the Euphrates, who spent some time with him. The
plot of the novel arose from their conversations. Belle édition illustrée de cette histoire d'amour
située au Moyen Orient au XIII° siècle. Roman considéré comme une des oeuvres de Barrès les
plus riches et les plus chargées de passions.

Rare third edition, which is the second Latin Koberger-edition. The Revelationes Sancte Birgitte
(The Revelation of St Bridget) was published with Latin text in September 1500 by Koberger in
Nuremberg. then in July 1502 Koberger published his German edition, and then in 1517 the above
mentioned second latin edition, this time printed by Peypus in Nuremberg. This second Latin
edition is a reimpression of the first Koberger edition from 1500, but without the illustrations.
Bridget was a Swedish noblewoman of royal ancestry who was widowed at about forty with eight
children. She retired into a Cistercian nunnery and experienced the first of her many famous
visions. In 1346 she founded the Order of the Holy Savour (the 'Brigettines'), only to leave the
monastery at Vadstena three years later and move to Rome where she lived a life of total
conformity to the Gospels, constantly advocating penitence. Her renown as a mystic was
considerable and she was consulted by both kings and popes. She strongly advised the latter to
return from Avignon to Rome, but was not fortunate enough to see her request granted. The
Papacy returned to Rome three years after she died while returning from a pilgrimage to the Holy
Land which, she said, was the high point of her life. She was canonized in 1391. She was the
mother of St Catherine of Vadstena, who survived her by eight years. Collijn I,257-61. Adams B-
