1773LTH28-D-19London: P. Vaillant & G. Robinson 1773. Leather. Very Good Indeed. 7" by 4.5". None. An attractive copy of Jean-Francois Marmontel historical work on the life and times of the Byzantine military leader Belisarius. Translated into English from the original French. Despite writing tragedies and operas in his early career Marmontel became a historian later on in his life and was appointed professor of history at the Lycée in 1786. He was also a member of the French Academy. Later reduced to poverty by the revolution he wrote a memoir which John Stuart Mill credited with curing him of depression.This copy is from the library of Robert Chambré Vaughan and includes his bookplate to the front pastedown.Entitled 'Belisaire' in the original French the work was incredibly controversial. The work made bold comparisons between Belisarius' decline into poverty at the hand of his king Justinian I and the then current French monarch Louis XV and his treatment of his people. Furthermore the French ecclesiastical authorities were angered by the works perpetuation of the the virtues of religious tolerance. These factors resulted in the work being banned in France. Not only a interesting history of this Byzantine military leader this work is also valuable as it touches upon the political climate of 18th century France. In a full calf binding. Externally very smart with just minor rubbing to the extremities of the boards and light shelfware. There is a bookplate to the front pastedown and a contemporary ink signature to the title page. Internally firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean with only the occasional spot or stain. Very Good Indeed P. Vaillant & G. Robinson hardcover

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. Studiën over de achttiende eeuw Zutphen 1937 Amsterdam 1993 II p.332-344; Te Winkel V p.421 Buisman 1556; Forum II 951 2e druk 1768; Mateboer 114; Scheepers II 652 De publicatie van dit boek leidde in Nederland tot een heftige polemiek die de Sokratische oorlog wordt genoemd. 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
