MARCHANT ( Petrus ). Tribunal sacramentale et visibile animarum in hac vita mortali, tomis duobus explatum … Gandavi, ex officina Bartholomaei Pauli, 1642-43FIRST EDITION, with a fine additional engraved title-page and pages (20), 256, (12, index), (4, blank) : (27), 420, (16), 2 vols bound in 1, folio, contemporary calf, gilt, old neat rebacking : the spine worn but the the binding very strong, and otherwise, apart from a tear without loss in two leaves, a nice, crisp copy.Marchant (1585-1661),native of Liege, acquired a profound knowledge of scholastic philosophy and theology. In 1625 he was elected definitor general of the Franciscans and, in 1639, commissary general of the provinces of Germany, Belgium, Holland, Great Britain, and Ireland. His duties brought him into contact with Irish politics during the troublesome times of the 'Confederation of Kilkenny'. Unfortunately he allowed himself to be deceived by false reports on the true state of affairs in Ireland and took sides with the Ormondists, thus giving encouragement to their opposition to the nuncio Rinaccini. Marchant was a voluminous author. His chief work is "Tribunal Sacramentale", for the use of confessors (first published in two volumes in 1642-43, the Antwerp edition of 1650 adding a third volume). It contains a full exposition of moral theology, putting aside all disputed opinions, and simply stating the doctrinal teaching of the Church, drawing his proofs from Scripture, the decisions of councils, the constant tradition of the Church, and the writings of the saints (Catholic Ency.).
