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.

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.

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.
