Im selben Jahr 1782 erschien bei Himburg eine zweite mit fünf Tafeln von Chodowiecki illustrierte Ausgabe dieser Übertragung mit der leicht abweichenden Bezeichnung "Neue Auflage" eine vierte Ausgabe folgte 1794 vgl. Goedeke. In der Vorrede zur ersten Auflage weist Mylius auf die Besonderheit seiner Übersetzung hin die in der Übertragung von Personen satirischen Anspielungen etc. auf deutsche Verhältnisse besteht. In der Vorrede zur zweiten Auflage musste er sich gegen harte Kritik zur Wehr setzen. Vom Standpunkt der Übersetzungstheorie betrachtet eine sehr interessante Übertragung mit einer Fülle von treffenden und kraftvollen Wortneuschöpfungen.

17755953Geneva: Cramer et Bardin 1775. Edition encadré" volume 11. Volume 11 only of the 40-volume "edition encadré" published in 1775 by Cramer et Bardin the last edition of Voltaire's works published under the author's supervision. Then as now La Pucelle d'Orleans was Voltaire's most consumed work so it is not surprising to find this volume detached from the its 39 companions. Voltaire's greatest poem but not the one you read in school. With Ariosto in mind Voltaire rewrote the Joan of Arc story with all the wit and critical distance of an 18th-century libertine. The result is that France's sainted woman warrior becomes the vehicle for an intelligent and licentious burlesque. Good and right-thinking people have always found it offensive but it doesn't really care. Nice binding charming illustrations. Octavo 21 cm; 420 pages portrait frontispiece by Martinet and 21 engraved plates. Text within typographic borders. Bound in contemporary etched leather scored in gilt. Spine decorated in gilt with leather labels. Marbled endpapers. Boards somewhjat splayed. Negligible loss at head and tail. Hinges starting. Upper joint reinforced. Contents clean.

85893Venedig Francesco Pitteri 1739. 8:o. Grav. porträtt iii-xxiv 199; 117 1 3-92 s. Lagerfläckig. Något nött samtida pergamentband ryggen med guldornerad beige titelfält. Rester av stämpel på porträttets baksida. Jmf Warmholtz 5946 noten som dock inte känner till någon italiensk översättning. Detta är den tredje upplagan av den italienska översättningen av Voltaires klassiska verk om Karl XII. Det franska originalet utkom 1731 och överättningar till engelska holländska och tyska utkom inom några få år liksom den första italienska som kom 1734. Den andra kom 1736. År 1744 utkom ytterligare en upplaga även den kallad för tredje. Porträttet i helfigur är graverat av Gioseffo Filosi verksam i Venedig mellan 1732 och 1744 och återfinns troligen endast i den italienska upplagan. unknown

198579477Oxford: The Inky Parrot Press 1985. patterned paper-covered boards slipcase. Inky Parrot Press. small 4to. patterned paper-covered boards slipcase. x 1411 pages. Printed in an edition limited to 360 numbered copies. Translated by Richard Aldington. Signed by the illustrator Wilton Priestner. Profusely illustrated with slightly disturbing almost surreal line drawings that push the satirical tone of the story itself to a new level. The modern edgy drawings are evidence of the relevancy and adaptability of the work of the eighteenth-century French writer Voltaire. The imagery does not exactly match up with the moment of the story it illustrates but rather offers a highly interpretive version of the events as told by Voltaire. For example whereas the text reads ".she observed Doctor Pangloss in the bushes giving a lesson in experimental physics to her mother's waiting maid a very pretty and docile brunette" the illustration shows a couple copulating in the garden. Paper covered boards and the slipcase also with drawings by Priestner. With shoulder notes. The Inky Parrot Press unknown books
