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.

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
