Catalogue "Le livre et le Liban" pp. 185 : L'auteur rapporte l'origine légendaire des Druses qui descendraient d'une colonie de François établis en Asie dans le douzième siècle, il s'agirait d'un Régiment commandé par le comte de Dreux d'où leur nom. Selon Puget de Saint-Pierre les Druses eux-mêmes se considéreraient comme les descendants de Godefroy de Bouillon, mais pour lui la Nation Drusienne est une secte connue dès le X° siècle qui s'est formée en Phénicie et s'est retirée dans les cavernes du Mont Liban et a été rejointe et renforcée par les croisés du comte de Dreux. L'auteur raconte l'histoire des Druses, décrit leur religion, leurs coutumes, leurs villages et leur commerce". Très bon exemplaire.

Paris, Cailleau, 1763. Cont. full calf. Richly gilt back. Covers with gilt borders. Top and bottom of back a little worn. Inner hinge at end a little weak. Engraved titlepage. XII,358 pp. (pp. 356-58 errata) and 1 large folded engraved map by de Lafosse (30x22,5 cm., dated 1763) and 1 folded engraved plate (Camp de l'Emir des Druses, pres de Baruth). As there seems to be different prints of the so-called second edition (as this) we are not able to decide whether there should be more plates to this printing. The work describes in 3 sections the esoteric religion of the Druses, founded in the 11th century by the Fatimid Calif of Egypt, their history and their commerce.
