  8. Les poesies
    MARTIAL D'AUVERGNE

    Les poesies

    De l'imprimerie de Antoine Urbain Coustelier|à Paris 1724|9.50 x 15.50 cm|2 volumes reliés
    New edition, from the collection of poets published by Urbain Coustelier. This edition of the poetry contains only Les vigiles de la mort de Charles VII, first published in 1493. It appears that these Vigiles had not been published since the first half of the 16th century.
    Contemporary full glazed blonde calf binding. Spine with raised bands finely decorated. Beige morocco title and volume labels. Headcap of volume I with lacks and tailcaps of both volumes rather clumsily restored. Corners heavily bumped and damaged.
    Les vigiles de la mort de Charles VII constitutes a chronicle of the times, from the king's birth to his death; it includes the wars and sieges of the English, the epic of Joan of Arc... one even sees that Charles VII (1403-1461) organized and created the first professional army. We know that above all, Martial, more poet than historian, devoted himself to putting into verse the chronicles of Berry and Chartier. This was above all at the time a commemorative work, in a time when Charles VII was reproached for numerous faults.

The work thus brings together unpublished pieces by the author: Le Romain - De la Conversation des Romains - Consolation au Cardinal de La Valette - Réponse à deux questions ou Du caractère & l'instruction de la Comédie - Mécenas - Paraphrase ou De la grande Eloquence - Dissertation sur une Tragédie intitulée Herodes Infanticida - De la Gloire...

  20. La sepmaine, ou creation du monde
    Guillaume de Saluste DU BARTAS

    La sepmaine, ou creation du monde

    Chez Hierosme de Marnef|à Paris 1585|14.50 x 21.50 cm|relié
    New edition, the first with commentaries and notes by Pantaléon Thévenin. Printer's device on title page with the motto "En moy la mort, en moy la vie". On verso of the privilege, large arms of the Duke of Lorraine, to whom the work is dedicated (each day bears an epistle to a member of the house of Lorraine). Privilege dated October 24, 1584.
    Each day is decorated with a title vignette (3.5 cm x 5 cm) and a genealogical table which precedes it and details everything the poem treats. A compass rose figure p. 171, another of the celestial map p. 220; one of climatic zones p. 281; one of the zodiac p. 367; two on eclipses p. 426 and 430. Text in beautiful italic type, the commentary which follows in roman. The original of Bartas's La Sepmaine appeared in 1578.
    Full glazed blonde calf binding, 18th century. Raised spine decorated with small tools, roulette at foot. Chocolate morocco title label. Triple fillet frame on covers. Red edges. Frieze on leading edges and inside. Two cuts at head, with fragile headcap. Two corners slightly bumped. Small lacks at head of upper joints. One stain p. 67. Some leaves trimmed short. One dampstain from page 492 to page 506 at right corner, lower margin, resuming page 561 on several leaves. Another dampstain at bottom of page reaching the text slightly from page 714 to the end. Soiling in margins of title page. Numerous pagination errors: after p. 184, returns to 165 up to 186, then pagination jumps to 209 up to 216, then returns to 197. Pagination goes back to 204 up to 210, then resumes at 233. New error after page 561, which on verso jumps to 512 and continues to the end. All without lacks.
    Important edition, as the genre of the poem calls for commentaries and erudition. The first week and the second are encyclopedic poems which follow the unfolding of Genesis and offer the reader the sum of knowledge of the world. Bartas's poetry had immense success in its time, perhaps because one also found in it a wealth of teachings on the Ancients, science, inventions. Goethe was a fervent admirer, it was less appreciated subsequently in France, which judged it good in its ideas but too unbridled for its taste. The Renaissance had much taste for paraphrase and the week which is already a form of paraphrase of Genesis is here in turn paraphrased, but this time by a scientific discourse which illuminates its implementation and the foundations of its writing, as much on astronomy, natural science, botany, mathematics, as the whole of knowledge which glorifies Man.

  27. Les oeuvres. Les nouvelles oeuvres
    Vincent VOITURE

    Les oeuvres. Les nouvelles oeuvres

    Chez Augustin Courbé|à Paris 1650 - 1658|16.50 x 23 cm|relié
    Second edition of the Oeuvres (and first by Courbe who had just acquired the privilege) by Voiture and first edition of the Nouvelles oeuvres. Two title vignettes by Picart. A fine portrait by Champaigne.
    Binding in full eighteenth-century mottled calf. Spine with raised bands handsomely decorated with fleurons and stars, fillet at tail. Red morocco title-label. Triple gilt fillet frame on boards. Decorative gilt board-edges. Marbled edges. Fine restorations to corners and headcaps. Rubbing. First leaves yellowed with small marginal dampstains. Extensive yellowing on the preliminary leaves of the Nouvelles oeuvres.
    Voiture (1597-1648) was throughout his life a gallant and courtier, brilliant in the salons and playing at games. His epistolary talent earned him the distinction of making prose fashionable in France for a long time, and his poetry excels in the mannered and precious tone, even though he knows how to be trivial in turn when necessary. He is an essential figure of the literary scene of the early seventeenth century, a true Molière character.
    Voiture is above all a style, not only in his letters (Lettres amoureuses) and his poetry but also in his prose, see for example the delightful Métamorphoses. His works were in the image of the man, gallant, teaching fine language and beautiful manners to the regulars of the hôtel de Rambouillet. His fame was very great during his century and he remains an emblem of the seventeenth century.

    Kalendae Januariae, & Varia quaedam Poëmatia [Ensemble] De caecitate oratio [Ensemble] Praefatiuncula in disputationem de ridiculis, quae est apud Ciceronem in libro secundo de Oratore [Ensemble] Le premier livre des poemes

    Le premier livre... 1602. Edition with some parts in first edition augmented with 7 new poems after that of 1597 which contained only 17.
    Full brown glazed calf binding 18th century. Raised spine richly decorated. Brown morocco title label. Joints skillfully restored. Gilt tooling on edges. Handsome copy.
    Le Premier livre of poems is the last work published during the author's lifetime and revised by his hand, the latter having died in 1602, at the age of 68. Although he was a very enlightened humanist and profound scholar, friend to many poets (Muret, Ronsard, Baïf...), he is the author of light and particularly witty poetry, without affectation, nourished by Antiquity, where wordplay and rhymes embellish the poems. Professor of eloquence and literature, Passerat published very little during his lifetime, yet he was highly appreciated by his peers. The two editions on Cicero testify to the excellent orator he was. One should also note that he was one of the principal collaborators of the Satyre Menippee.

    Oeuvres du Comte Antoine Hamilton

His tales were also appreciated, including Fleur d'épine and Le bélier. Despite the work accomplished by Etiemble, and the complete rehabilitation of Crébillon fils, Hamilton remains fully to be rediscovered.

    First edition; a private edition was made in a few copies for the author's family in 1837, and it took 8 years before the author decided to release it to the public. 9 folding tables (budgets for the years 1806, 1808...)

A very slight crack to the upper joint at the head of volume 4, otherwise fine copy, moreover of perfect freshness.
    Essential memoirs for understanding the Empire according to Tulard. Mollien was Minister of the Treasury from the Consulate to the end of the Empire. His memoirs are particularly concerned with details and precision. In the preface, Mollien admits his preference for Adam Smith's school over his own (Mollien spent 5 years in England studying finance after being dismissed and imprisoned during the Terror). He notably created the Court of Auditors. The work begins with an analysis of France's financial situation under Louis XVI, up to Bonaparte's rise. The tax system was consolidated under Napoleon, notably as consequences of the Empire's multiple wars. The memoirs contain numerous letters between the minister and his sovereign. The author thus presents an unprecedented economic and financial portrait of France under the Empire.

    "Woman writer, salonnière and friend of philosophers and famous writers in the 18th century, Louise d'Épinay is the author of Memoirs whose originality is situated on two levels: from the point of view of content first, because it is a history of her family and the literary events of the century, a history however 'self-reflective' and filled with her own feelings and reflections; then, from the point of view of form, since it involves a singular combination of letters, memories and first-person diary pages and short third-person narratives." Sanda Nemeth-Badescu, Dalhousie French Studies, 2005. The famous muse of the late 18th century was indeed a friend of Rousseau, Grimm, Diderot, Voltaire, etc, and her memoirs interspersed with correspondence best illustrate the world of letters of this late 18th century.
