Vivre d’ascèse et de psaumes, ou l’art de bien vivre et de bien mourir dans les manuels de piété réformés au xvii^e siècle

The evolution of the literature of private devotion dedicates in the second half of the seventeeth century the advent of the kind of spiritual exercise in reformed world. It is within the framework of the preparation in the Last Supper that this one develops, drawing the outlines of a way of asceticism suggested with faithful reformed. The purgative step then borrows largely its points of support from the vein of the spiritual exercises inspired of Ignace de Loyola, blurring the denominational boundaries. Only the use made of the psalms in these works tends to score again seeking a specificity properly reformed.
