Excerpt from Le Compère Mathieu: Ou les Bigarrures de l'Esprit Humain
Mais le plus grave fut qu'il s'attaqua plusieurs fois à ses anciens maîtres qu'il aimait 'a confondre dans les thèses publiques. Ses supérieurs furent obligés de lui infliger souvent la pénitence. On cite ce trait: Dulaurens ayant été con damné à rester plusieurs mois dans une cage de bois su5pen due en l'air, et privé de tous moyens d'écrire, trouve cependant moyen de couvrir les ais de sa cage, en se servant d'une pointe de fer qu'il avait trouvée, de toutes espèces de quolibets et d'épigrammes.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a rousing and often bawdy exploration of sexuality in the eighteenth century. It is a collection of stories pulled from the life of the author, a former seminarian and an avid participant in the libertine behavior of the era. The author takes a playful yet pointed jab at the hypocrisy of his religious upbringing and the sexual and social mores of his time. Although written in the 1700s, this book will still raise eyebrows and cause a few chuckles today as it speaks to hypocrisy that still exists around issues of sex and religion. This book should appeal to readers interested in the libertine philosophy of the eighteenth century, the history of sexuality, and the philosophy of the Enlightenment.
