Just barely perceptible rubbing to joints and extremities one leaf with tiny burn hole affecting a couple of words intermittent minor foxing negligible ink spots here and there other trivial imperfections but an extremely attractive copy the text fresh and clean and the very well-preserved binding with lustrous leather and bright gilt.<br/> <br/> This is a remarkably pretty copy of an extremely influential but generically elusive work printed by a legendary press and bound by the founder of a celebrated French binding dynasty. First published in 1524 the "Colloquia" comprise 63 conversations originally written for Erasmus' students on varied and overlapping topics but these urbane meditations soon became widely read as they covered subjects that intrigued the important thinkers of the day. Their influence was so profound that it is not saying too much to claim that they helped to speed the Reformation. Although they are difficult to classify precisely one could categorize them as including in general terms exposure of ritualistic fallacies invective against corruption within the church examination of popular imposture deploring of contemporary personal sins practical advice for laymen and miscellaneous discussion of amusing topics. In specific terms the text takes on such controversial topics as the value of pilgrimage celibacy and abstinence from meat on Fridays and other prescribed days. Erasmus' "Colloquia" was frequently published by the Elzeviers once in French and a total of nine times in Latin. The text was universally adopted for school use up through the 18th century. Although our lovely little binding is unsigned Culot firmly identifies its tools as those used by Jean-Claude Bozerian 1762-1840. He was the elder of the Bozerian brothers François is referred to as "le jeune" and was active in Paris from 1795 to about 1810. He began his career in Lyon as an apprentice bookseller printer and bookbinder eventually deciding to focus on the latter craft. Marriage to the widow of binder Pierre Boulier allowed him to establish a binding workshop in Paris where he was joined by his brother. His bindings were soon much in demand by French bibliophiles who appreciated their superior materials tasteful design and flawless execution--all characteristics that are plainly evident in the present case.

Half-inch crack to head of front joint minor wear to head of spine corners a little rubbed isolated faint foxing otherwise a fine and pretty copy clean and fresh internally and in a lustrous binding.<br/> <br/> With striking gilt elaboration inside and out this is a beautifully bound and delightful Elzevier edition of Charron's celebrated work "On Wisdom" first printed in 1604. Inspired by the letters of Seneca and Stoic in spirit the work gives a meticulous and reasoned argument for living an austere virtuous and purposeful life in harmony with nature. But Charron's rationalism combined here with a lack of interest in revelation as a source of truth made his work suspect to the theological authorities of his day and he was accused of portraying religion as unnecessary for morality. His attempt to revise the work to satisfy his critics was interrupted by his death. A lawyer before he became a theologian and preacher Charron 1541-1603 desired at age 45 to join a monastic community but was rejected for being too old. Our volume was lavishly bound by Pierre Marcellin Lortic 1822-92 who apprenticed with the Gruel bindery before opening his own workshop in 1844. Over the next 40 years he won numerous awards became a preeminent Parisian binder and was named a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Beraldi says of Lortic: "For the decoration of a binding Lortic with real passion conceived the bound book as a jewel: he loved the rich the sumptuous the flamboyant." Beraldi put Lortic in the first rank of gilders even though Pierre did not do the gilding with his own hand. Instead he employed the best doreurs available including Wampflugh Maillard and Domont before his talented son and eventual successor Marcellin took over those responsibilities in the 1870s. Our binding was likely commissioned by the previous owner the formidable French bibliophile Emmanuel Martin 1821-82 whose library was sold in 1877. Our volume is lot #64 in the auction catalogue "Collection de M. Emm. Martin: Livres Rares et Précieux Anciens et Modernes" selling according to a manuscript indication in the margin for 161 francs a very substantial sum representing modern buying power of about $3000. The catalogue description says it is a "charming example" of the rarest Elzevier edition of this work and gives special praise for the "perfectly executed" binding rendered "with the most remarkable finesse" in the style of Le Gascon an artisan active in Paris in the first half of the 17th century and revered as perhaps the outstanding gilder of his day. This is a very great compliment to Lortic and it is not surprising that as the auction catalogue states the present example of his work was featured in the Museum of Ornamental Arts as part of the Art Treasures Exhibition held in Manchester in 1857.

With engraved allegorical title page. Front flyleaf with bookplate of P. R. Méry. Willems 630; Rahir 625. ◆Spine uniformly sunned to a pleasing hazel brown front joint just beginning to show rubbing isolated tiny rust spots or faint foxing but in nearly fine condition the very pretty binding otherwise unworn and with bright gilt and the text quite clean bright and fresh.<br/> <br/> This is an attractively bound Elzevier edition of letters by Balzac 1597-1654 a writer whose prose had a major influence on French literature. Our volume contains letters to diverse persons with the majority addressed to Valentin Conrart 1603-75 counsellor and secretary to the king who hosted literary gatherings that gave birth to the French Academy. The Elzeviers published a number of volumes containing the correspondence of Balzac and it is said that these editions contributed considerably to Balzac's renown. Our binding is retrospective in design communicating a clear sense of bindings from that period yet identifiable at once as late 19th century work and reflecting an artisan working at the top of his craft.

With engraved title page featuring four tondo portraits and the French royal arms. Verso of front free endpaper with ink monogram of Edwin Wolf II; front pastedown and front flyleaf with tipped-on old dealer descriptions. Willems 634 citing this copy among the handsomest offered at auction; Rahir 630. ◆A little browning mostly to edges of leaves in the first and last couple of quires one leaf with corner replaced away from the text and probably before printing other trivial signs of use internally but A VERY APPEALING COPY the text quite clean and fresh and in a lustrous binding with few signs of wear.<br/> <br/> This is a distinguished copy of the famous "Memoirs" that comprise the first critical and philosophical history to be written after antiquity; they deservedly earned for Commines ca. 1445 - ca. 1511 the appellation of "father of modern history." In this work Commines chronicles the reign of Louis XI and the Italian expedition of Charles VIII covering most of the three decades beginning in 1464. Britannica says that "the graphic style of his narrative 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." Willems describes this Elzevier edition as "admirably executed" and notes that "well-preserved copies" fetch high prices citing our copy from the Tufton sale as one such example. Sir Richard Tufton 1813-71 was the natural son of Henry Tufton Earl of Thanet and succeeded to the earl's estates on his father's death in 1849. The "sea lion"--literally the head and forelegs of a lion with a fish-like lower body--stamp on our binding is the crest from his coat of arms. The handsome binding is the work of Parisian artisan Jean-Edouard Niédrée d. 1864 who was known for his skillful work and for the great care he took to preserve margins in the books he bound.

Title page with engraved frame featuring the Four Evangelists and their symbols. Rahir 500; Willems 505. For the binding: Smith and Benger p. 46; "British Armorial Bindings" https://armorial.library.utoronto.ca/node/31988. ◆Spine evenly faded and gilt consequently a little dulled a touch of rubbing to extremities tail margin of text with half-inch wide light dampstain extending an inch up on the fore-edge margin of the last couple quires a hint of foxing and browning other trivial imperfections but still a pleasing copy without serious defects internally and in a scarcely worn binding with lustrous covers.<br/> <br/> This Elzevier printing of the first lexicon of New Testament Greek comes in an elegant binding and with illustrious provenance. First printed in 1619 the "Manuale" is the work of German philologist Georg Pasor 1570-1637 and was the authority on New Testament Greek throughout the 17th century. Printed by Bonaventure and Abraham Elzevier our volume is bound in the style of the venerable English artisan Roger Payne using the straight-grain morocco process developed by Payne with delicately tooled gilt panels framing the cover. The supralibros of a man whose love of books brought him to ruin was added at the center both boards sometime before 1817. The coronet above the griffin indicates that George Spencer-Churchill 1766-1840 was at that time the Marquess of Blandford before his father's death in 1817 made him the 5th Duke of Marlborough. According to DNB "He spent great sums on his gardens and his library at White Knights near Reading." His extravagance eventually ruined him financially and most of his collection had to be auctioned during his lifetime. According to the University of Toronto's "British Armorial Bindings" this volume was Lot 3017 in the sale of the "Distinguished and Celebrated" White Knights Library conducted by R. H. Evans of London in June of 1819; it sold for eight shillings. Our book was later sold at Sotheby's on 13 June 1934 lot 725; the catalogue for that sale described the binding as "in the style of Roger Payne." We find ourselves inclined to believe even more heartily in this association. Ex officina Elzeviriana unknown

Willems 560; Rahir 552. ◆A few instances of light foxing and other trivial imperfections internally but A REMARKABLY WELL-PRESERVED COPY the binding bright and scarcely worn and the text very fresh and clean with virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is a most appealing little book containing the works of Severus the fourth century ecclesiastical historian who gave up great wealth in exchange for Christian seclusion and holy exercises and who became an ardent follower of St. Martin of Tours. Our volume includes Severus' most famous work his "Life of St. Martin" with its unforgettable pictures of this much venerated saint whose compassionate life includes the famous episode in which Martin cuts his cloak in half to share it with a beggar. Along with the "Life" are the "Dialogi Duo" which contains a reasoned review of the then prevailing bitter ecclesiastical feuds and provides information about these controversies not supplied from any other source. Also included is Severus' "Sacred History" a less original work summarizing events from creation to his own day but one much used in the Middle Ages when the author's correct and limpid Latin was greatly admired. Willems says this is the second Elzevier edition containing the same material as the 1638 edition but with the added continuation of the sacred history by Johannes Sleidanus 1506-56; Willems adds that the printing is "beautifully executed." This is a particularly lovely copy with distinguished provenance: it was previously in the library of the distinguished American bibliophile Mortimer Schiff 1877-1931 whose collection included works by great printers important illustrated books works printed on vellum and fine and historic bindings; it was later owned by H. V. Ingram a collector of fine bindings in the mold of Schiff a large number of whose books Ingram subsequently possessed. Ex Officina Elzeviriana unknown
