‎HUYGENS Gommaire - SNEL Joannes Baptista ( first owner of the manuscript ) - [ ] JANSENISM :‎
‎"Notae in Methodum remittendi ac Retinendi peccata, viva voce ab Authore traditae; et a Discipulis scriptis mandatae."‎

‎ S.l.s.d. ( Leuven , ca 1686), in-8°, manuscript on paper, 235 pp + 3nn pp , manuscript in a fine and careful handwriting, contemporary black morocco with raised spine and blindstamped front, marbled endpapers. (Binding a bit worn and dustsoiled). The list of contents stops at p. 95, with empty space remaining. Much attention is given to sexual matters. The first owner was a friar minor who writes at the first page ''De Superiorum Licentia me uititur Fra[ter] Joh. Bap. Snel , Minorita Indignus. The author remains unidentified. He, most probably, was a student of Gommaire Huygens and assisted at the courses given by this professor in the years when Huygens published his homonymic printed book (Louvain, 1686). The controversial Jansenist nature appears explictly from the note of the first owner on the first page (in lieu of a title).‎
