This book is in French.

Twenty-five weeks of meditations, each a run of “elevations”: on the unity and perfection of God, the Trinity, creation, the fall, the prophecies, down to the childhood and ministry of Christ. A posthumous work (1727) written for the nuns of Meaux, a summit of French seventeenth-century spirituality. Lachat edition (1862).
