Jean Pierre Camus Livres

Le Divertissement historique (1632) de Jean-Pierre Camus groupe quarantecinq historiettes, fondées, selon l'auteur, sur des faits véridiques. Conformément à la vocation sacerdotale de Camus, chacune des historiettes se veut édifiante.

Chacun des divertissements est précédé d'une notice d'introduction. L'introduction générale comprend une biographie de Jean-Pierre Camus, et une étude analytique du Divertissement historique, suivies d'une bibliographie d'orientation.
