La pierre de touche
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across major library catalogs (including the British Library, Library of Congress, and various union catalogs) have yielded no evidence of an English translation of Antoinette Bourignon's 'Pierre de touche' (1679). While other works by Bourignon were translated into English in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, this specific polemical work does not appear in any bibliographies or library records as having been translated.

Antoinette Bourignon transforms a personal defense against libel into a blistering critique of religious hypocrisy. Readers will discover why she argues that true faith demands the imitation of Christ through works rather than passive reliance on church doctrine.
