An apparently unrecorded broadside giving the text of theological theses defended by Pierre Guillon of Poitiers for entry into minor orders. A bachelor of theology from the city’s university, Guillon’s gruelling five-hour examination took place on 22 November 1770 between one and six o’clock, in the church of St Opportuna, under the critical eye of Dr Louis Bellayer, dean of the theological faculty and rector of St Cibard’s.
The subject of Guillon’s examination was the seven sacraments, and the nine paragraphs composing the substantial text here printed discuss, respectively, their number, baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, transubstantiation, penance, extreme unction, holy orders, and matrimony.
This broadside was issued by Jean-Felix Faulcon (1713–1782), who acted as printer to both the bishop and university of Poitiers, and who, from 1776, served as ‘imprimeur du Roi’.
