"Jansenist Engraving The Convulsionaries Of St Médard 1727 By Bernard Picart"

Such demonstrations marked their opposition to royal power. In Candide, Voltaire would challenge their intransigent positions on Providence. Engraving illustrating the convulsionaries of St Médard in 1727 at the very moment of the events.
