    Anton Raphael MENGS

    Oeuvres complètes d'Antoine Raphaël Mengs, premier peintre du roi d'Espagne, contenant différents traités sur la théorie de la peinture

    A l'hôtel de Thou|à Paris 1786|25.50 x 20 cm|deux volumes reliés
    First French edition, translated from Italian by M. Jansen (the work was indeed first published in Italian by Bodoni).
    Near-contemporary full sheep bindings with smooth spines, bronze title and volume labels. Handsome copy.
    The work begins with memoirs on the life and works of Mengs (1728-1779) by Chevalier d'Azara and a notice on Mengs's paintings, followed by the painter's treatises on painting, covering beauty, taste, technical aspects of painting as well as various celebrated painters (Raphael, Correggio, Titian). The preface contains a paragraph by Klopstock (the German editor) and Fuessli. Court painter to the King of Poland, he joined the Spanish court at the behest of Charles III, King of Spain; his paintings, quite early in the neoclassical taste (see his Cleopatra), secured him fame and wealth, and the writings he left on painting and the arts are marked by research and subtlety.

  38. Apologie des grands hommes accusez de magie
    Gabriel NAUDÉ

    Apologie des grands hommes accusez de magie

    Chez Jacques Cotin|à Paris 1669|14.40 x 8.50 cm|relié
    First edition, another edition appeared on the same date published by Besongné. A relatively rare but celebrated book.
    Contemporary full calf binding, spine with raised bands decorated. Overall rubbed. The head cap is missing by 2/3, one corner lacks leather, part of the edges are without leather, some lacks at the raised bands.
    Gabriel Naudé (1600-1653) was born in Paris. He was a physician but more of a philosopher as he had also studied literature and philosophy; of all his books, the apology is the only one that remains to us. He was successively attached to Cardinal Barberini, to Cardinal Mazarin (he was responsible for collecting the works for Mazarin's library), to Cardinal Richelieu then to Queen Christina, also as librarian, apart from the famous 'Advis pour dresser une bibliothèque'. He is an heir to humanism who advocates a return to strict rationalism; this work is its application, establishing that one must exercise judgment and study causes and effects before condemning. One finds much precious information on the accusations and practices of numerous men, Galen, Raymond Lull, Albertus Magnus, Saint Thomas Aquinas, along with a defense of the accusations that were brought against these men. Naudé dismantles beliefs about demons, the philosopher's stone and what they encompass.

  44. Le prince de Balzac

    Le prince de Balzac

    Chez Toussaint du Bray|à Paris 1632|17.20 x 11.50 cm|relié
    Second edition, the first edition having appeared the previous year.
    Contemporary limp vellum binding, unlettered spine. One tear to the vellum at foot, the sewing is somewhat loose. At the end of the work, 10 pages folded at the corner.
    The book consists of a political tableau of Europe under Louis XIII tempered with examples borrowed from antiquity (one notices a curious table of contents). The author establishes therein the portrait of a prince endowed with all the qualities of the 17th-century honest man, whom some will designate as being a flattering portrait of Louis XIII. The work is reputed remarkable for the clarity of its language and the perfection of its eloquence. Tchemerzine, I, 359. The work was censored 3 years after its publication by the Sorbonne.
    'This edition has undergone the cuts indicated by the faculty of the Sorbonne'. Brunet, I, 631
