GÉRARD (GÉRAUD) de FRACHET. Vitae fratrum ordinis Praedicatorum, in quibus quamplurima exempla et monumenta antiquae virtutis, qua is ordo initio maxime floruit, regensentur. Iussu Beati Humberti. To Gerardo Lemovicensi. Douai, Balthasar Bellère, 1619, small 4°, [8]-146-[13-1 white] p., full vellum at the time, traces of cords (small stamp on the title, traces of use). From the library of Th. De Jonghe (ex-libris). Forty years after the death of Saint Dominic, Géraud de Frachet gathered, around 1260, a copious collection of edifying anecdotes, the "Vitae Fratrum", relating the first developments of the Order. This work, intended to build up the original memory of the Ordo, was copied so that each convent would have a copy.
