#[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

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

1775ST16379-050La Haye: Dépens de la Compagnie 1775. A "New Edition" augmented with etchings and anecdotes relating to "Bélisaire. 170 x 100 mm. 6 5/8 x 4". 2 p.l. viii 358 pp. <br/> Contemporary sheep-backed speckled boards smooth spine divided into panel by decorative gilt roll red morocco label. With woodcut head- and tailpieces and two etched plates. Front pastedown with a blue piece of paper inscribed with the number "93" and the name Gueveni in ink. Five small wormholes to leather on rear board text with two tiny marginal wormholes becoming one as the book goes along otherwise fine internally--especially clean and fresh in an appealing period binding showing very little wear.<br/> <br/> First published in 1767 "Bélisaire" is an historical romance based on an apocryphal tale of the estimable Byzantine commander Belisarius in which he is blinded and reduced to penury by an ungrateful Emperor. According to the Oxford Companion the book created a sensation out of proportion with its intrinsic literary merits because it contained a chapter advocating religious tolerance and freedom of opinion which was censured by the Sorbonne. The present edition includes several letters and additional texts that concern this controversy. An author whose talents were employed in several genres Marmontel 1723-99 was encouraged by his mentor and friend Voltaire to venture from the provinces to Paris in order to pursue a literary career. He gained acceptance into fashionable circles distinguished himself as a highly-praised writer for the "Encyclopedie" and was elected to the French Academy in 1763. The present volume is an extremely pleasing copy of an early edition. Dépens de la Compagnie unknown
