Title: Curiosités théologiques. Par un bibliophile [i.e. Pierre Gustave Brunet].
Author: Gustave Brunet
Publisher: A. Delahays, 1861
Curiosités théologiques is a remarkable 19th-century bibliographic and critical work dedicated to the strangest, rarest, and most controversial writings related to religion, belief, and superstition. Written under the guise of “un bibliophile,” this book offers a meticulous exploration of theological oddities drawn from ancient and modern sources alike.
The content spans a wide range of subjects, including apocryphal stories of the Old Testament, legends and miracles, religious superstitions, sacramental practices, eccentric preachers, and singular beliefs held across cultures and eras. The author examines perspectives from Brahmins, Buddhists, Africans, Mohammedans, Rabbis, Mormons, and visionaries, as well as themes related to the Devil, the afterlife, and religious texts notable for their strangeness.
Particularly noted by bibliographers (including Caillet), the third section of the book (pp. 301–352) is considered especially valuable for its analysis of rare and bizarre religious works, making this volume a key reference for collectors of occult, theological, and esoteric literature.
A fascinating witness to 19th-century scholarly curiosity and critical thought, this book stands at the crossroads of religion, folklore, and early comparative anthropology.

🪶 Collector’s Note
Original 19th-century works such as Curiosités théologiques are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in complete and readable condition. This volume is highly regarded among collectors of occult literature, theological curiosa, and rare religious studies, offering a window into forgotten beliefs and the intellectual climate of its time. A genuine piece of historical esoteric scholarship, long out of print.
