This thesis addresses Les Faictz de Jesus Christ et du Pape, the first illustrated book of the French Reformation, printed by Pierre de Vingle in 1534, in Neuchatel. Historical analysis, close reading of the text, interpretation and commentary revealed that, contrary to what had until recently been believed, Les Faictz was more than a mere translation of Passional Christi und Antichristi, an anti-papal Lutheran satire, issued in 1521, in Germany. The analysis of the classical sources employed by the anonymous writer(s) also exposed the virulent attack directed by the radical French reformers against the medieval institution of the papacy. Moreover, its new textual long addition offered enough evidence to place Les Faictz among the sacramentarian works published by Vingle between 1533-1535. Thus, likewise Marcourt's famous eucharistic writings, it refutes the sacrificial character of the mass, the doctrine of the real presence, and transubstantiation, aiming at no less than the abolition of the mass and the reestablishment of the Lord's Supper in its original purity.
