A beautiful and authentic three-volume French edition of Œuvres de Sainte Thérèse (Works of Saint Teresa), translated from the original manuscripts by Fr. Marcel Bouix, S.J. and published in Paris by Librairie Victor Lecoffre in 1884–1885.

Bound in original half leather with marbled paper-covered boards, these volumes possess the rich patina and character that only 19th-century books acquire over time. The green leather spine labels with gilt lettering remain crisp and elegant, making this set as decorative as it is historically significant.

Whether displayed in a European-inspired library, on a Victorian bookcase, or enjoyed by collectors of antique Catholic books, these volumes bring warmth and history to any collection.
