AQ32696Paris: s.n. l'an de l'Hegyre 1168 i.e. 1754 Two volumes bound as one. 4 7-155; 234 i.e. 134pp. Later gilt-tooled calf-backed marbled paper boards contrasting red morocco lettering-piece. Lightly rubbed. Internally clean and crisp. From the library of Mary Hill Marchioness of Downshire Baroness Sandys 1774-1836 with her gilt monogram to head of spine. The first edition of a curious work combining literary romance with medical instruction by Parisian physician Antoine Le Camus 1722-1772. Purportedly translated from an Arabic text Le Camus's singular work charts the forbidden love of the eponymous Abdeker a youthful medical practitioner assigned to the care of the Sultan's harem at Constantinople and Fatmé an incomparable beauty and jewel of the seraglio. Abdeker undertakes to impart to his beloved all the means by which to preserve her striking looks. The conceit allows Le Camus to convey practical hygienic and cosmetic advice to his readership providing advice on the use of a plethora of ointments and unguents to preserve to skin quality lists of which appear at the end of each volume. The work was reissued in 1756 with the addition of a further two parts. These two supplements lacked literary or medical merit and were excluded from the third edition of 1774. Provenance: From the Sandys family library at Ombersley Court by descent from Mary Hill Marchioness of Downshire recently dispersed. . First edition. 12mo. [s.n.], l'an de l'Hegyre 1168 [i.e. 1754] hardcover

166819477à Paris: Chez Jean Baptiste Loyson 1668. Fine. Chez Jean Baptiste Loyson à Paris 1668 12 x 18 cm relié First edition. Illustrated with a frontispiece portrait. Rare. Not found in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France French catalogues the British Library or English catalogues. Contemporary full vellum binding. Smooth unlettered spine. The work is a collection of 34 historical novellas each novella followed by Christian and moral reflections. Jean Pierre Camus was indeed the first to have used fictional literature that is to say profane means for the purpose of spiritual edification. Camus believed in the virtues of entertainment for the novellas present in this work are exclusively literary only the ""reflections"" that follow them remind us of the spiritual and not religious project. This enterprise is all the more surprising as the modern French novel was in its beginnings. The style is simple without affectation and evokes Plutarch. Chez Jean Baptiste Loyson hardcover
