168597327Lyon, Jean Girin & B. Rivière, 1685, in-12, [20]-445-[5] pp, 3 pl. (dont 1 comprise dans la pagination), Basane havane de l'époque, dos à nerfs, armes centrales sur les plats [de Montchal], Première édition complète de cet ouvrage, dont il a paru la même année une édition "suivant la copie de Lyon" à La Haye (Adrian Moetjens). Sans le titre-frontispice. Bien complet en revanche des trois planches gravées sur cuivre représentant des personnages en costumes : l'Arabe avec son ibrik pour préparer le café, le Chinois avec son pot de thé et l'Américain avec sa chocolatière et son gobelet. Les trois buveurs sont représentés ensemble sur le bandeau gravé par Ogier, répété en tête des trois traités (du café, du thé, du chocolat). L'auteur aborde ici les origines de chacune des substances, leurs usages ainsi que les préparations et traite des effets comme de comme des utilisations thérapeutiques. L'ouvrage fait sans doute suite à un autre, De l'usage du caphé, du thé et du chocolate que Girin et Rivière avaient publié sous l'anonymat en 1671. Philippe Sylvestre Dufour (1622-1687), riche apothicaire lyonnais, faisait commerce des produits d'Orient. Il possédait un cabinet de curiosités que son coreligionnaire et ami Jacob Spon décrit, en 1673, comme contenant des "Raretés du Levant, pièces de Tour, Médailles antiques d'or & d'argent" (Recherche des antiquités et curiosités de la ville de Lyon. Lyon, de l'imprimerie de Jaques Faeton, 1673. p. 205).

His first book appeared in a collective volume and gathered his poems imitated from Ariosto. His clear frank mannerist and refined poetry a court poetry eclipsed that of Ronsard at the court of Henri III. It was in turn criticized and replaced by that of Malherbe.

His Memoires was first published between 1524 and 1528 achieving immediate success with numerous reprints and earning the unique distinction among French-language texts of never having gone out of print. The first part written in the 1480s focuses on the reign of Louis XI particularly his rivalry with Charles the Bold while the second part composed in the 1490s examines Charles VIII's Italian campaign. Commines who served in a diplomatic capacity under both French monarchs devotes particular attention to the rise and fall of the Florentine preacher Girolamo Savonarola and the ultimate failure of French military and political ambitions in Italy.Commines's ""graphic style . and above all the keenness of his insight into the motives of his contemporaries an insight undimmed by undue regard for principles of right and wrong make this work one of the great classics of history"" Britannica. Often referred to as the ""French Machiavelli"" he shares affinities with the Italian political thinker particularly in his pragmatic and unsentimental approach to power.Willems 634; Tchemerzine III p. 468 ""jolie edition elzevirienne tres recherchee"". hardcover
168457732à Paris: Chez Etienne Michalet 1684. Fine. Chez Etienne Michalet à Paris 1684 9 x 16 cm relié Rare first edition illustrated with several diagrams in the text and 3 plates of leveling instruments invented by Picard for the leveling of the château de Versailles. Edition produced by Philippe de la Hire after Jean Picard's death and from manuscripts found at his residence. Contemporary full speckled brown sheep binding. Decorated spine with raised bands. Brown calf title label. 3 corners slightly bumped. Rubbing. Good copy. The work is divided into distinct chapters the first being a theory of leveling in relation to the earth's surface those that follow being an application of this theory and practical examples of leveling. One finds there for example the way to bring water to Versailles through measurements despite differences in terrain. The last part concerns the measurement of the earth. Picard had been charged by the Académie des sciences to measure one degree of meridian. The result found by Picard was the most accurate found at that time and allowed science and notably Newton to pursue his work on universal gravitation whereas he had been hindered by imprecise and faulty measurements.

It was published a total of 5 times between 1632 and 1665. "Béthune's treatise was the work of a man at the end of his career who had served the monarchy at home and abroad through the bumpy years of dynastic transition and who thanks to his longevity had witnessed the crisis of the religious wars as well as France's slow rise from the ashes thereafter. He brought to bear his wide knowledge and experience of French government but also his thorough acquaintance with Rome and Italy and both informed the political ideas he mobilised in his treatise" Reinhardt p. 56 Philippe de Béthune was a prominent figure in French politics during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He served as a diplomat and administrator under Henri III and Henri IV with key roles in diplomatic missions to Scotland Rome and Savoy. Béthune's efforts aimed at securing peace in Italy and resolving conflicts between European powers. He remained influential in diplomatic circles particularly under the guidance of Cardinal Richelieu. Béthune's political career was marked by his dedication to diplomacy and his efforts to navigate complex European relations during a tumultuous period.
