180138913A Paris: Gebbie and Company. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1801. Leather. engraved frontis'; OCLC Number: 968499950. French revolutionary calendar date is A N IX 1801. This calendar was restored after a brief period to the Gregorian calendar commonly in use. The Gregorian date is found by counting forward from the founding of the French Republisc in 1792- hence AN IX is 1801. In 1758 Marmontel gained the patronage of Madame de Pompadour who obtained for him a place as a civil servant and the management of the official journal Le Mercure in which he had already begun the famous series of Contes moraux.

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.
