MARMONTEL ( Jean François )Livre Rare Book

176725776Paris: Chez Merlin 1767. 8vo 19.9 cm 7.8". 4 x 340 6 pp.; 4 plts. First edition early state featuring the frontispiece and three copper-engraved plates designed by Gravelot. Quickly translated into numerous languages following its initial publication Marmontel's controversial philosophical novel was written in great part in the hope that its retelling of the story of Gen. Flavius Beisarius of the Byzantine Empire would convince Louis XV to become himself the longed-for Philosopher-King. Chapter 15 however in which Marmontel advocates freedom of opinion and religious tolerance inspired extensive commentary by Voltaire and others and brought on condemnation by both the Sorbonne and the Archbishop of Paris though it may ultimately have helped the Huguenot cause. Â Â Â Â Merlin also printed a duodecimo edition in 1767; in the present edition "Fragmens de philosophie morale" is found on pp. 273340 followed by the Addition and Approbation. Â Â Â Â Provenance: Front pastedown with large round gilt-stamped armorial leather bookplate of notable 19th-century book collector Edward Hailcrone; smaller round cream-colored leather gilt-stamped I.T. bookplate with motto Inter folia fructus of 19th-century bookseller and bookcollector James Toovey; and paper bookplate of Sir Montague Shearman. Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary crimson morocco covers framed in gilt triple fillets; spine gilt extra with gilt-stamped leather labels board edges and turn-ins with gilt rolls.
