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."

On the titlepage a pruple stamp of former owner ""G.W.B.D."" probably Gräflich von Waldbott-Bassenheim'sche Domanialverwaltung.Belisaire is a banned French novel about the life of the Byzantine general Belisarius by Jean- Francois Marmontel.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.A plea for religious tolerance. Marmontel condemned the violence against the native Americans indigenous people. This plea was not suited in the time of the French monarchy during the ancien regime based on intolerance and intimidation. The archbishop of Paris Mgr. Chrisophe de Beaumont banned the work of Marmontel in 1767. Also in The Netherlands there was a vivid dispute this time on the idea that also non-christians heidenen could join in heaven. This is called the ""Socratische oorlog"".Jean Francois Marmontel 1723-1799 was a French historian writer and member of the Encyclopedistes movement. In 1772 he became the official historian of France historiographe de France. He worked with Alembert Helvétius d'Holbach Condillac Turgot Buffon Condorcet and Voltaire.The book was reprinted in 1787 by the Bibliotheque amusante.Boekverboden - forbidden books - banned book - omstreden schrijver - tegenstander van Rousseau - pleidooi voor religieuze tolerantie - plea for religious tolerance unknown

17773400<p>A scarce edition of Marmontel's block-buster published in the same year as the first edition. MMF list no less than ELEVEN Paris editions of 1777 all printed by Lacombe with the present edition listed as the second with its imprint clearly claiming a Paris and Lacombe publication: 'A Paris Chez Lacombe Libraire rue de Tournon près le Luxembourg'. However ESTC includes this edition as a piracy 'probably printed in Dublin' with a false Paris address. This would account for the error on the title page where the masculine word for volume is made feminine: 'Tome Première / Tome Seconde' a mistake no French printer or compositor would make.</p><p>Critic novelist and playwright Marmontel began life as the son of a poor tailor before coming to Paris on the advice of Voltaire to pursue a career in literature. His <i>Contes moraux</i> 1755-1765 fictional tales praising philosophy and the practice of virtue were enormously popular in France and throughout Europe particularly in England where there were numerous translations. But it was his historical romance <i>Belisaire</i> with its plea for civil toleration of Protestants that brought him most lasting fame and became one of the most controversial novels of its time condemned both by the Sorbonne and the archbishop of Paris. <i>Les Incas ou la Déstruction de l'Empire du Perou</i> is Marmontel's answer to the censure he received for <i>Bélisaire</i>. In this novel he describes the cruelties in Spanish America and demonstrates that they are entirely the result of the religious intolerance of the invaders. <br /></p><p><i>Two volumes 8vo 175 x 110 mm pp. xxxii 253; iv 5-310 1 including half-titles and several contents leaves after the text in both volumes marginal wormhole through the endleaves and first few pages of Vol. I also with considerable staining in a couple of the preliminary leaves of Vol. I otherwise generally clean although clearly read some later pencil markings </i></p><i>in contemporary plain calf blind tooling to the covers along the spine flat spines ruled in gilt with red and olive green morocco labels lettered and numbered in gilt the corners a little bumped the library stamp of 'J.M.M-OConnor' on both half titles and the endleaves of Vol. I: generally an attractive set</i>.
