‎Gilly's first and second visits to the vaudois of Piemont in a beautiful copy. The ‘Vallees of the Vaudois’ is a mountain region of the Alps situated between Chambéry in France and Turin in Italy, not to be confused with the people of the same name in the south west of Switzerland of the canton of Vaud. The Piedmontese dialect has been rather strongly influenced by French.Both these works are most interesting not only from the point of view of geography and travel, but are also quite valuable as historical, ethnographical and religious studies and commentaries.The volumes contain altogether 4 folding facsimiles of written documents, 12 lithographic views, 1 plate showing a road, and 4 folding maps.The maps in vol. 1 represent: 1) part of Piemont et Savoy, with the country of the Vaudois or Valdesi, and showing the route over the Alps by Mont Cenis. / 2) the three protestant valleys of Piémont, Lucerne, San Martino, & Perosa.The map in vol. 2 shows the country of ancient and modern Waldenses.The first volume includes an Appendix, containing copies of ancient manuscripts, and other interesting documents, in illustration of the history and manners of that extraordinary people.The second volume, a first edition, includes some account of the compacts with the ancient princes of Piemont, and the treaties between the English government and the House of Savoy, in virtue of which this sole relic of the primitive church in Italy has continued to assert its religious independence. / The 3rd volume: First edition.

‎Un ouvrage petit in-8°, demi-reliure cuir brun clair avec plats marbrés, dos à cinq nerfs, ornées de motifs dorés avec une pièce de cuir rouge. Avec, en début de volume, une carte dépliante (Carte des 3 vallées protestantes du Piémont (Lucerna, San Martino et Perosa), une dédicace à la Reine, une préface à la 1ère édition, une préface à la 2ème édition et une table des Matières (XXIII). Puis viennent 284 pages précédées de deux facsimilés de documents relatifs à la cause vaudoise et d’une carte dépliante intitulée : “Carte du Piémont et de la Savoie avec le pays vaudois, ou Valdesi, et le tracé des routes de crêtes par le Mont Cenis). Ce texte est suivi d’un long appendice composé de 12 longs paragraphes (IXXXV , soit 85 pages). In fine, une liste des souscripteurs anglais pour un soutien aux protestants Vaudois, persécutés depuis des siècles.Cet ouvrage relate une excursion, certes, mais il permet à l’auteur d’évoquer l’histoire très douloureuse, et peu connue aujourd’hui, de l’église des protestant Vaudois. Une église ou plutôt un mouvement, né à Lyon à la fin du XIIème, et dont le nom vient de son créateur VALDES ou VALDO, un marchand lyonnais. L’auteur William Stephen GILLYS (1789–1855)fut un prêtre anglican connu et respecté pour son action et ses idées réformatrices et philantropiques. Exemplaire en BON-TRES BON ETAT.‎
