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.

In 16° (cm 6,8 x 13), legatura piena pelle coeva, mancanza alla cuffia inferiore, pp (24), 608, (6), frontespizio inciso in rame da Pietro Clouwet, al verso della carta (*12), ritratto entro ovale dell'A., inciso in rame, sempre del Clouwet. Esemplare in buone condizioni, malgrado gora di umidità alle prime 24 pagine; bruniture uniformi, rare sottolineature in alcune pagine. Edizione senza indicazioni di stampatore e luogo di stampa, coeva alla parigina di Courbé del 1654 (la prima è del 1650). Da pagina 481 troviamo le Poésies del V. (1598-1648), poeta prezioso membro dell'Académie Française, frequentatore assiduo del Salon di Rambouillet, che eccelse nell'arte epistolare dando un carattere spontaneo e naturale a testi sapientemente elaborati, il cui influsso sulla formazione e il gusto classici fu considerevole. Edizione fatta sulla quarta di Courbé, "très petits caractères", ma "véritable elzévirienne" (Brunet, 1860-'80, col. 1347). Nessun esemplare censito in SBN e COPAC, uno in CCF.
