170034727à Paris: chez Jean Anisson 1700. Fine. chez Jean Anisson à Paris 1700 8.50 x 16.20 cm relié First edition. Contemporary full sheep binding. Spine with raised bands decorated. Red morocco title label. Lacking at lower headcap. Joint cracked at foot for 1cm. Corners slightly bumped. The first leaf is blank. Collation consistent with the Oxford copy. The first flagellants appeared in the eleventh century and the movement gained renewed vigor during the Black Death in Europe thus reaching its peak during the fourteenth century. This movement was rapidly condemned by the church as heretical and millenarian. The movement quickly became anarchic and a threat to order both of the church and of society. The pope delivered them to the inquisition in 1349 and the King of France Philip V banned the flagellants under penalty of death. chez Jean Anisson hardcover

195721192New York: Ives Washburn Inc. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1957. First American Edition. Hardcover. spine slightly turned a little wear to top and bottom edges of covers age-toning and minor soiling to edges of text block; jacket slightly chipped with old small internal tape repairs at spine ends no impact on text faint almost invisible vertical crease in spine light soiling to rear panel a couple of tiny nicks in bottom edge of rear panel. Yep it's the book from which Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO -- anointed The Greatest Film of All Time by the British Film Institute's "Sight and Sound" panelists' poll -- was rather freely adapted. It's a must-have if you're a "books into film" collector and considerably scarcer for some reason in the American edition than in the British which preceded it by a year -- although if you're into that "true first edition" business you really ought to be on the lookout for the French paperback original Denoël 1954 entitled "D'entre les morts" literally "From the Dead." And if you think this one's expensive prepare yourself for serious sticker shock if you happen to find that one. . Ives Washburn, Inc. hardcover

It also contains several satires among which an imitation of Juvenals satire. The book is an early illustrated Dutch edition of the work of the French poet translator and critic Nicolas Boileau-Despreéaux 1636-1711. The title refers to the sublime het sublieme in poetry and rhetoric retorica en poezie. The greek original is written by the Greek writer Longin Longinus. Longinus treatise 'Peri Hypsous' dealt with the idea of sublimity and its theoretical repercussions. Boileua's publication is not so much as a translation as a shift in understanding the Longinian sublime for Boileau shifted its dominant association with the style of discourse towards the extraordinary quality and effect of discourse. Boileau emphasises that Longinus’ understanding of the sublime differs from the idea of the sublime style or “Stile Sublime” the highest of the three rhetorical styles in Ancient Rhetoric. bron: F.J.L.C.

195433642New York: Rinehart 1954. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First American edition. Page edges browned and touch of wear at the spine ends near fine in near fine dust jacket with a touch toned a bit of edgewear and small internal tape repair at the crown. An exceptionally uncommon title the first book by this French team to be published in the U.S. Basis for the classic Henri-Georges Clouzot film Les Diaboliques with Simone Signoret and the director's wife Vera Clouzot in which the two women conspire to murder their sadistic husband/lover. The film is arguably the best psychological thriller of all time and one from which many of the conventions of the genre stem. Alfred Hitchcock already well-established as the "Master of Suspense" was upset at having missed the film rights to this book and took special care to acquire the rights to Boileau and Narcejac's follow-up which became Vertigo. Later remade several times including a 1994 version with Sharon Stone and Isabelle Adjani. A translation from the French and published before the film was released this had a very small print run perhaps as few as a thousand copies. Considering the cheap leftover wartime materials employed it is unlikely to have survived in any numbers. Rinehart hardcover
