In 8°; (4), 283, (1) pp. Legatura coeva in piena pelle maculata, difetti al dorso e qualche strofinature. Tagli rossi. Testatine e finalini ornati. Manca l'antiporta incisa. Edizione contemporanea alla prima parigina di questa celebre romanzo del grande Jean-François Marmontel (Bort-les-Orgues, 11 luglio 1723 - Habloville, 31 dicembre 1799) un romanziere, poeta e drammaturgo francese, collaboratore dell'Encyclopédie di Diderot e d'Alembert. Nel 1767 esce un'opera sulla quale Marmontel ripone molte speranze, il romanzo storico Bélisaire, ove, nella prima parte, impiega le sue risorse di rappresentazione drammatica nel descrivere la vita del suo protagonista, mentre nella seconda svolge considerazione di natura politica, fino a spingersi, in un capitolo, in un aperto elogio della tolleranza religiosa. Subito la Sorbona pubblica, il 26 giugno, una lunga critica del libro, alla quale si aggiunge il 31 gennaio 1768 la censura dell'arcivescovo di Parigi, Christophe de Beaumont, non nuovo a iniziative censorie nei confronti dei "nuovi filosofi" - pochi anni prima aveva attaccato pubblicamente Rousseau; di fronte, tuttavia, al silenzio mantenuto dalla corte e dal Parlamento, il libro può circolare liberamente ed essere apprezzato all'estero, anche dalle corti assolutistiche d'Austria, di Prussia e di Russia: la stessa Caterina II volle che fosse tradotto in russo il contestato XV capitolo del romanzo.

Contemporary full leather French binding; worn at joints. Marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. Hardbound. A very good copy of a scarce little work. After studying with the Jesuits and teaching in their colleges at Clermont and Toulouse Marmontel 1723-1799 acting on the advice of Voltaire set out for Paris at the age of twenty-two to seek literary fame. He wrote a series of minor plays which brought him somewhat permanent admission to Parisian literary and social circles. It was during this time that he wrote articles for the 'Encyclopedie' on the 'Elements of Literature' which still rank among the French classics. In 1758 he gained the patronage of Madame de Pompadour. She obtained for him a place as a civil servant and the management of the journal 'Le Mercure' where his charming 'Contes Moraux' were first printed. First published in 1767 'Belisare' was a historical romance loosely based on the career of Belisarius 505-565 a Byzantine general under the Emperor Justinian I. He was constantly called upon to defend a fading empire and the very gates of Rome against the Persians Vandals Goths Ostrogoths and Huns. It included a chapter on religious toleration which incurred the censure of the Sorbonne and the Archbishop of Paris. Because of this reaction to his work Marmontel became even more firmly set against the excesses of religious and political fanaticism. Quite scarce. FRENCH 4 Language: eng. Hardcover. Very Good.
