#[66368]Amsterdam Pieter Meijer 1768 8vo. original marbled paper boards 283244 pp. worn boards and spine with faded marbling loosened binding clear printwork uncut pages frontispiece and two more engravings by Gravelot 1699-1773. l 2nd edition. The original French Bélisaire is a banned 1767 novel on the life of the Byzantine general Belisarius by Jean-François Marmontel 1723-1799. It popularised the apocryphal tale of his being reduced to beggary by Justinian I despite his great services to the empire citing it as an example of the ingratitude of those in power towards their faithful servants and indicting the French king Louis XV by proxy as another such ungrateful monarch. In the Netherlands the translation was received with enthousiasm as well as protest and resulted in a fierce discussion about whether heathens like Socrates could find a place in Heaven. hardcover

Contemporary French mottled sheep extremities worn and bumped; back cover of vol. 2 abraided with loss leather on front hinge quite worn but the board is quite attached marbled pastedowns and endpapers all edges marbled. Text with minor foxing but completely unmarked and unspoiled. NOT ex-library! No copy of this edition has been located despite extensive searching. KVK and FirstSearch list a digital surrogate only but the link wrongly points to a completely different edition Ledentu which consists of 288 332 pages. The two frontispieces in our edition appear to be reverse copies of the illustrations executed by J.M. Moreau le jeune for Lacombe's 1777 edition the first illustrated. <br /> <br /> The political philosophical and theological significance of this novel is very considerable and Marmontel's text was quickly translated into German English Dutch Italian Russian Swedish and Spanish. Luciano Pellegrini explains its lasting importance and its relevance to modern readers:<br /> <br /> "'Les Incas' presents a moment of the Conquistadors. Using the knowledge on the subject accumulated over the years and numerous readings Marmontel traces an epic picture of the conquest of Peru by Pizarro and his companions. Not to praise it but to underline its violence and show the monitory end of the empire of 'the most human people in the universe.' . It is a plea against religious fanaticism understood as 'the spirit of intolerance and persecution the spirit of hatred and vengeance for the cause of a God whom one believes irritated and of whom one makes himself the Ministers. . Pizarro remains responsible for the atrocities committed by his men without really sharing them. . One could notice the presence of attitudes of colonial domination in Alonzo de Molina's love for the native Cora. These very real ambiguities are however inseparable from the philosophical commitment of 'Les Incas.' They even touch on the project of universal tolerance carried by Marmontel and largely contribute to the literary quality of a novel which had a success for more than a century."

Hartog De Spectatorale Geschriften Utrecht 1890 p.241-248; Wille De literator R.M. van Goens en zijn kring.

In 1767 was in Frankrijk 'Bélisaire' verschenen een roman van Marmontel 1723-1799 over de Romeinse veldheer Belisarius waarin de natuurlijke goedheid van de mens wordt verkondigd en verdraagzaamheid tegenover andersdenkenden bepleit. Het boek werd overal in Europa met groot enthousiasme ontvangen maar van orthodoxe zijde scherp aangevallen. Nergens was de strijd echter heviger dan in ons land waarbij het al gauw niet meer ging om Marmontels 'Belisarius' maar om de vraag of deugdzame heidenen als Sokrates op zijn persoon spitste zich het conflict toe in de hemel konden komen. De zeer rechtzinnige predikant Hofstede speelde in deze pennenstrijd een hoofdrol. Voor uitgever Meijer had al dat rumoer het plezierige gevolg dat het boek al na een paar maanden was uitverkocht; dat gebeurde ook met de tweede druk waarna in 1769 nog een derde druk verscheen. Maar ook Hofstedes scherpe kritiek met zijn 274 pagina's de 'Belisarius' in omvang benaderend moest twee maal worden herdrukt. Uiteindelijk maakten de Staten van Holland in 1773 een eind aan de strijd tussen orthodoxen en toleranten. Achterin deze eerste druk van 'Belisarius' een fondslijst van Pieter Meijer 4 pagina's. unknown
