122487Paris 1771. Folio 253 x 393mm. 14 pages of descriptive text & 5 loose plates with their accompanying 2 text sheets from the volume of plates. Slight browning to margins a little spotting otherwise very good. § The 5 plates and descriptive text for the entry of Mosaïque from volume VIII of plates. Plates are numbered 1-5. Plate 4 is a double plate.1 page 659 from volume VIII of the Encyclopédie 1765 including Les Romains11 pages 78 79 & 741-750 from volume X of the Encyclopédie 1765 including information on Compartimens de pavés en marbre and Mosaïque en général.1 page 193 from volume XII of the Encyclopédie 1765 including L'usage des pavés en mosaïque à Rome.1 page 353 from volume III of the Supplément à l'Encyclopédie 1777 which includes Mosaïque de Herculanum.Included with these plates are several relevant entries on Mosaics including the main ten-page article by Chevalier Louis de Jaucourt. The article primarily concerns the role of mosaics in Christendom philosophy and also their manufacture. Despite focusing largely on the sciences Jaucourt has been regarded as an important philosopher as well. The article for mosaics is therefore a good example of this polymath's varied interest and specialties. The 5 plates largely concern the workmanship of this art and the atelier itself. 8 mosaic patterns are also reproduced including Europe Raised by Jupiter Neptune and his Trident and a Barge on the Nile. There is one double plate depicting the Nile Mosaic of Palestrina with various useful annotations. Thought to be the earliest Roman depiction of Nilotic scenes close examination suggests that it was produced in the reign of Sulla ca. 100 B.C. It is important for a number of reasons and could possibly be one of the mosaics referred to by Pliny in his Naturalis Historiœ. Having remained in the Barberini family since the 17th-century the mosaic can now be found in the Museu Nazionale Prenestino. unknown books

174566927Principes de la philosophie moral DIDEROT Denis. Principes de la philosophie morale ou essai de M. S.sur le mÈrite et la vertu. Avec rÈflexions. Amsterdam: chez Zacherie Chatelain 1745. First edition. xxx 297 1 blank 10 tables des matiËres errata pp. With title-vignette two engraved frontispieces one for each part and two head-pieces by Fessard after Durand. Citron morocco gilt back with raised bands gilt triple-rule border on sides with gilt stamped floral ornament in corners inner gilt-dentelles all edges gilt. Lower cover slightly discolored otherwise a beautiful copy. Housed in a custom brown cloth clamshell. "Rather a paraphrase than a translation of Lord Shaftesbury's An Inquiry Concerning Virtue and Merit. Yet it is a very important work indeed for the growth and development of his thought. It was Diderot who furnished the RÈflexions in a preliminary discours and lengthy footnotes to which students of Diderot now turn for precious indications of the unfolding of his ideas.It will be noticed that the French version is anonymous neither Shaftesbury's name nor that of the translator was mentioned. The reason was that there was some danger involved in presenting to the French public a work that declared so boldly for the existence of a natural morality independant of any particular religion or church" Arthur M.

Furman Diderot A Critical Biography. Edges somewhat rubbed; hinges starting but sound; very good copy. 8vo contemporary mottled calf dark red morocco label gilt decorations and lettering. Vignette title-page two plates and two headpieces by Etienne Fessard after Louis Durand. ¶ The first book by the great French philosopher writer and polymath Denis Diderot 1713-1784 a translation of An Inquiry Concerning Virtue 1699 by Anthony-Ashley Cooper the Earl of Shaftesbury. Diderot adapted "Shaftesbury's text pretty freely adding his own interjections and digressions" - Furman. Diderot's Essai challenged the doctrine of the church which required that it be published anonymously and with a false imprint. The only evidence of authorship are the initials "M. S." in the title. Shaftesbury's essays like Lucretius's De Rerum Natura had an important influence on the young Diderot.
