Text in English French and German. "An important component in Dominique Perrault's architecture is the deliberate use of materials. Textures colors reflections and tactile qualities impart to the purity even austerity of his simple monumental buildings a special note of distinction. This volume documents for the first time his collaboration with Gaelle Lauriot-Prevost in furniture and lamp design as well as wall hangings - the area where Perrault's sense of materials is most tangible. The complete interior design for the Bibliotheque nationale de France - the woven metal wall hangings the various book shelves reading tables chairs reception areas research alcoves etc. as well as lamps- is the focus of this book. Other design products and thefirst application of woven metal hangings in the departmental archives in Laval 1992 are also shown. Finally the volume provides insight into the creative design process through sketches preliminary studies photographs documenting various production phases and the actual manufacturing process." -website description.

A few leaves creased light marginal dampstains on 2 or 3 plates but very good. 19th century armorial bookplate; bookplate of Arthur and Charlotte Vershbow.</p> <p> First Editions. Perrault was the leader of a team of comparative anatomists that included Guichard Joseph Duverney Jean Pecquet Moyse Charas and Philippe de la Hire; they were often called the "Parisians" in contemporary literature because of their membership in the Académie Royale des Sciences. Their investigations began with a thresher shark and lion from the royal menagerie and went on to encompass forty-nine vertebrate species. "Although some of the discoveries on which the Parisians most prided themselves—including the nictitating membrane that Perrault first observed in a cassowary the external lobation of the kidneys in the bear and the castoreal glands of the beaver—had been observed earlier no such detailed and exact descriptions and illustrations had been published before" Dictionary of Scientific Biography. In the spirit of rationalism Perrault and his team investigated and debunked many popular myths attached to certain species such as the legend that salamanders live in fire or that chameleons subsist on air. They also recorded their methods of work along with their results providing the only contemporary disclosure of how such anatomical research was conducted in the seventeenth century.</p> <p> The Mémoires were originally issued in two parts in 1671 and 1676 as in our copy; they were later reissued in 1676 with slight changes as one volume with a new title-leaf. The two volumes of the Mémoires contain descriptions of twenty-nine species including the lion the chameleon the shark the lynx the porcupine the eagle the cormorant and the ostrich. Our copy was bound for presentation by Louis XIV patron of the Académie des Sciences; a significant portion of the edition was bound this way. </p> <p>Vol. I of our copy also includes the first edition of Jean-Félix Picard's Mesure de la terre 1671 which contains the first reasonably accurate calculation of the size of the Earth. Picard based his calculation on his measurements of a degree of latitude along the Paris meridian. Using sophisticated instruments Picard obtained a value for the Earth's polar radius of 6328.9 kilometers only 0.44% below the correct value of 6357 km.; his results were thirty to forty times more precise than any that had been obtained previously.

Paris: Par La Compagnie des Libraires 1733-1734. Part I: 231pp.; Part II: 294pp.; Part III: 215pp. 97 engraved folding plates depicting animals and skeletal diagrams. Engraved portrait frontispiece of Claude Perrault in first volume. Contemporary French calf spines gilt edges red; some occasional browning; repairs to joints some rubbing. Unidentified armorial bookplate to front pastedown beneath monogrammed bookplate D.P. with chipmunk and two mice. A later reduced format edition of Perraults Memoires of 1671-1676 Perraults study of this nature was first published in 1669 with the results of investigations of five animals and later expanded with studies of over forty animals. Prior to 1670 most descriptions of animals paid little attention to their internal structure and there were very few images in natural history encyclopedias that depicted skeletons or muscles. That changed with the establishment of the Académie des Sciences in Paris in 1666 by Jean-Baptiste Colbert with the approval of King Louis XIV. The Academy functioned with neither statutes nor regulations until 1699. At that time the Academy used the term mathématique to encompass the fields that are now called astronomy mathematics and physics and the term physique to encompass the fields that are now called anatomy botany zoology and chemistry. In January 1699 Louis reorganized the Academy giving it first regulations. The effect was to give the King more control over their activities in exchange for becoming an official institution under his protection with the new name Académie Royale des Sciences. One of the original academicians the physician Claude Perrault organized regular sessions at which participants could dissect deceased animals from Louis XIVs royal menagerie and record all they observed. Lions chameleons bears gazelles wolves ostriches crocodiles monkeys eagles tigers porcupines and salamanders among some were all laid open by the academics scalpels. These superb folding plates record in great detail the pioneering work at the Academy. These three volumes in three parts focus on the transformative and foundational years of the French Royal Academy of Sciences and Claude Perraults efforts which had made comparative anatomy a vital tool for the classifying naturalist. <br/><br/> Par La Compagnie des Libraires hardcover books
