- Title
Belgian False Imprints Pertaining to the Bollandist-Carmelite Quarrel and to Controversies Surrounding Jansenism (1673-90).
- Authors
Letsinger, Robert B.
- Abstract
Among the defenses of the antiquity of the Carmelite order that were published by Belgian Carmelites against the Jesuit authors of the Acta Sanctorum during the 1680s are found several false imprints. A close examination of typographic ornaments locates the true printers of these editions in the same cities as their authors in Antwerp, Brussels, and Louvain. These and other Belgian printers are also found to be responsible for a number of other false or outsourced imprints, many connected with contemporary theological debates touching on Jansenism. One of these editions, which has been previously misattributed, is shown to have been printed by Theodoras Lipsius in Louvain, and the documentary evidence is reviewed in the light of this new information.
