~ La Vie de St. Ortaire. [La Vie bienheureux saint Ortaire, abbé de Landelle. [Caen: Le Blanc-Hardel, n.d., c. 1800].

12mo (140 × 80 mm), pp. [12], title to upper cover and large woodcut to the lower, one woodcut headpiece. Slight marginal browning to covers. Stitched. A good copy.

A life of the Northern French Saint Ortaire, abbot of Landelles (d. 580 AD). Ortaire was the object of pilgrimages to Bas-Bézier, and was invoked in the cure of various illnesses and credited with miraculous cures. The approbation is dated 1706, referring to the source work Abregé de la Vie du Bienheureux Saint Ortaire, not the present chapbook (though it appears incorrectly with this early date in various online catalogues). Frère, Manuel du bibliographe normand, II, p. 507; Hélot, 265.
