COMPLETE 2-VOLUME LATIN MORAL THEOLOGY SET BY JESUIT THEOLOGIAN JEAN-PIERRE GURY. EARLY 20TH-CENTURY BARCELONA EDITIONS IN ORIGINAL LEATHER BINDINGS WITH STRONG ECCLESIASTICAL AND SCHOLARLY PRESENCE.
A complete two-volume set of *Compendium Theologiae Moralis* by Jean-Pierre Gury, S.J., one of the most widely used Catholic moral theologians of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Published in Barcelona by Subirana, these Latin-language volumes were produced for clerical and academic use and reflect the practical, systematic theological method that made Gury a foundational presence in seminary and ecclesiastical instruction.
This set includes *Tomus Secundus* dated 1902 and *Tomus Primus* dated 1910, offered together as a complete working set. Both volumes retain their original leather bindings with gilt spine titling and present as honest, intact scholarly books rather than later decorative rebindings. Institutional ecclesiastical stamps on the title pages further underscore their historical use within a religious or academic setting.
Substantial without being purely ornamental, this is a strong set for collectors of Catholic theology, Jesuit scholarship, church history, Latin texts, and antique clerical libraries. A solid and appealing survival of early twentieth-century theological publishing from Barcelona.
