Letterkundige genootschappen in Nederland 1750-1800 Nijmegen 2001; Witsen Geysbeek V p.192; F & vd B p.674 Het treurspel een vertaling van 'Aristomène' uit 1749 is opgedragen aan mr. Pieter van Schuylenburch heer van Moermont en Renesse vroedschap en schepen van Haarlem. Roullaud Amsterdam 1729 - Amsterdam 1790 werd opgeleid voor de handel en heeft zich daarnaast intensief beziggehouden met de letteren. Hij was lid van alle belangrijke letterkundige en culturele genootschappen in Amsterdam behoorde tot de groep dichters die de psalmen opnieuw vertaalden en tot de vertalers van de fabels van Gellert. Ook was hij een van de vijf leden van het toneelgenootschap 'Oefening beschaaft de kunsten' en zeer actief in 'Diligentiae omnia' waar hard gewerkt werd aan een Nederlandse dichtleer. 'Aristomenes' is het werk van Roullaud alleen; later is vaak moeilijk vast te stellen wie van 'Oefening beschaaft de kunsten' een bepaald stuk heeft of: hebben geschreven. Witsen Geysbeek weet nog te vertellen dat Roullaud loontrekkend Regent van den Amsterdamschen schouwburg was; in de uitoefening der werkzaamheden van dezen post werd hij door eene beroerte overvallen die hem in het graf sleepte den 28 Augustus 1790. unknown

1767684P4Paris: Merlin 1767. First edition. Leather. Very Good. 7" by 4". Not Stated. The original French first edition of Jean-Francois Marmonetal's controversial and banned novel on the life of Belisarius illustrated. The first edition of this work. In the original French. Illustrated with a frontispiece and three plates. Collated complete. Collated from Jisc from a copy held at the University of Oxford Libraries. 'Belisaire' is a French novel about the life of Belisarius a Byzantine general. This novel popularised the fictitious tale of Belisarius being reduced to a beggar by Justinian I despite his great services to the Empire throughout his life. Marmontel uses that tale to show an example of the monarchy and its ingratitude towards their faithful servants indicating that Louis XV was another ungrateful monarch. This is an interesting viewpoint as this book was written only twenty years before the uprising of the French Revolution. This novel was banned when it was published by the Sorbonne because chapter XV extols religious tolerance. Written by Jean-Francois Marmontel a French historian and member of the Encyclopedistes movement. He gained the patronage of Madame de Pompadour gaining a place as a civil servant and the management of the official journal 'La Mercure'. In the original calf binding. Externally generally smart.

Hinges are starting but firm. Front endpaper frontispiece and title page are working loose and may detach. Internally firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned and generally clean with the odd spot.
