    Chez Jean Musier|à Paris 1709|9 x 16 cm|relié
    The rare first edition.
    Modern cream parchment paper boards binding. Black sheep title label.
    Like all satirical works by Abbé Bordelon, this is a curious and unclassifiable work in which a narrator travels in the company of Becafort, relating his thoughts, speeches and dialogues; the work teems with criticisms and reflections on social progress, women's independence, the occult sciences... It is a journey without any consideration for the journey itself, warns the narrator.

    Chez Estienne Rogier|à Amsterdam 1710|9.50 x 16 cm|2 tomes reliés en un volume
    First edition, rare, illustrated with 10 figures, including the famous folding plate of the Sabbath.
    Two title pages in red and black.
    It is often said that the second 1754 edition is more comprehensive and more rare. There is nothing, not only the first edition has undergone no censorship, but all copies of 1710 we met are in full conformity with the edition of 1754; Furthermore edition was published in 1753, which makes editing much vaunted 1754 is an illusion.
