Very interesting collection of 4 publications pertaining to the so called Carmelite Controversy , the worst incident in the history of the ''Société des Bollandistes''. These 4 publications attack the writings of Daniel Papebrochius (one of the founding members of the Bollandistes) on the subject of the history of the Carmelite Order. Item [4] consists of the decree which fully proscribed all the publications of the Bollandist Society. The dispute was never solved but ended on 20th November 1698 when Pope Innocent XII issued a brief whereby, on pain of excummunication, all discussion should stop. All publications on the subject where put on the ''Index Librorum Prohibitorum''."
