    Someone is selling this for 24€, could probably get it for less, I want to know if you know anything about the book. Is it really from 1704? That's what the first page says but it seems too well preserved. The guy says he found it while moving once. Google just tells me that the author was a French Jesuit from the 17th century.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    80sCat, could you post the photos in this thread?
    @Ex Libris will probably be able to tell you more about the book.:)

    At a first look, this book is a part of a series. (Troisieme Partie -Third part). I will have a look if I can find more.

    I haven's found your exact copy, but this series is reprinted several times.

    A similar copy is for sale here. I find the price very debatable ($52.11). Books like this are (unfortunately) not very sought after and thus not valuable. If you want to resell the book, I should not buy it. If you want to own a cool book that is 300+ years old, just buy it :).

    Yeah I didn't think it would be very valuable, might get it and gift it to someone though. Thank you again! <3
