18384877Perpignan: Jean-Baptiste Alzine 1838. Small octavo full brown leather binding with gilt spine lettering on red morocco label xxiv 402 pp. frontispiece 12 etchings. some rubbing along edges some foxing otherwise a very good copy. François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon 1651-1715 archevêque de Cambrai théologien écrivain et pédagogue était un homme influent à la cour de Louis XIV. En 1689 il est nommé précepteur du jeune Louis de France duc de Bourgogne 1682-1712 sur proposition de Madame de Maintenon dont il était le conseiller spirituel. Pour son élève François Fénélon écrit plusieurs œuvres instructives par l'intermédiaire de fables telles que Les aventures d'Aristonoüs suivi d'un roman éducatif de voyages et d'aventures intitulés Les aventures de Télémaque fils d'Ulysse.</p> <p>Cet ouvrage écrit et développé entre 1694 et 1696 mènera à la disgrâce de François Fénélon dès sa circulation en 1698 au sein de la cour puisque son roman bien que pseudo-historique et utopique fut perçu comme une critique du Roi Soleil lui-même. En effet dans Les aventures de Télémaque fils d'Ulysse Télémaque Louis de France duc de Bourgogne suit son tuteur Fénélon appelé Mentor à travers différentes villes-états de l'Antiquité et est confronté à la guerre et la pauvreté des problèmes qui selon Mentor Fénélon est dû aux conseillers ambitieux et sans scrupules qui entourent les dirigeants de ces états. Fénélon met en garde son élève contre les politiques économiques mercantiles les politiques étrangères conflictuelles et agressives ainsi que le goût pour la démesure et l'extravagance. Les aventures de Télémaque fils d'Ulysse sont perçus comme une attaque voire une satire contre Louis XIV et à sa manière de gouverner. </p> <p>François Fénélon perdit son poste de précepteur en 1699 ce qui conduit à la publication anonyme et sans autorisation conduisant à sa disgrâce et à son bannissement de la cour.</p> <p>Cette publication contient un Discours sur la poésie épique et sur l'excellence du poème de Télémaque Les aventures de Télémaque fils d'Ulysse du livre I à X suivi des Aventures Aristonoüs.</p> <p>François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon 1651-1715 archbishop of Cambrai theologian writer and teacher was an influential man at the court of Louis XIV. In 1689 he was appointed tutor to the young Louis de France Duke of Burgundy 1682-1712 at the suggestion of Madame de Maintenon for whom he was spiritual advisor. For his student François Fénélon wrote several instructive works through fables such as Les aventures d'Aristonoüs followed by an educational novel of travel and adventure entitled Les aventures de Télémaque fils d'Ulysse.</p> <p>This work written and developed between 1694 and 1696 led to the disgrace of François Fénélon as his novel though pseudo-historical and utopian was perceived as a criticism of the Sun King himself. Indeed in Les aventures de Télémaque fils d'Ulysse Telemachus Louis de France Duke of Burgundy follows his tutor Mentor Fénélon through different city-states of Antiquity and is confronted with war and poverty problems which according to Mentor Fénélon are the results of the ambitious and unscrupulous advisers surrounding the leaders of these city-states. Fénélon warns his student against mercantile economic policies conflicting and aggressive stances regarding foreign affairs and developing a taste for excess and extravagance. Les aventures de Télémaque fils d'Ulysse were seen as an attack even a satire against Louis XIV and the way he governed. </p> <p>François Fénélon lost his position as tutor in 1699 due to the publication albeit anonymous of his novel and fell from grace before being banished from court.</p> <p>This publication is composed of a Discours sur la poésie épique et sur l'excellence du poème de Télémaque Les aventures de Télémaque fils d'Ulysse from book I to X followed by Les aventures Aristonoüs.

1785ABC_49452Paris: l'imprimerie de Monsieur" colophon below advertisement: Pierre François Didot le jeune printer to the future King Louis XVIII who used the title Monsieur from 1774 to 1789 1785. Contemporary gold-tooled dark greenish-brown morocco sewn on 5 supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine a red morocco title and volume label on the spine lettered in gold a triple fillet frame on both boards with fleurons in the corners gold-tooled board edges and turn-ins gilt edges marbled endpapers. Super royal 4to. With 98 hand-coloured plates namely two engraved title pages in volume 1 resp. by Augustin de St. Aubin and Montulay 72 illustration plates engraved by Jean-Baptiste Tilliard after drawings by Charles Monnet and 24 engraved plates with summaries of the "books" in decorative frames. Further with an elaborate armorial device incorporating the French royal coat of arms on the title page of each volume. 2 volumes. Deluxe hand-coloured edition of Fénelons popular didactic novel printed with newly designed type by Didot. This is also the first edition to include the 72 beautifully engraved plates drawn by the French painter Charles Monnet or Monet 1732-1808 or later and engraved by Jean-Baptiste Tilliard 1740-1813. The present copy has been luxuriously bound in a neoclassical style by Nicolas-Denis Derome 1731-1790 a renowned bookbinder who was known for the beauty and finesse of his work.Les aventures the Telemaque was originally published anonymously in 1699 because its denunciation of luxury war and selfishness as a matter of principal clearly bore an implied critique of the autocratic rule of King Louis XIV. The author did not remain anonymous for long; François de Salignac de la Mothe-Fénelon mostly known as François Fénelon 1651-1715 was a French Catholic archbishop theologian poet and writer. He was a regular visitor of the royal court at Versailles and for eight years tutor to Louis Duke of Burgundy known as the Petit Dauphin King Louis XIVs grandson. In 1697 however Fénelon was banished to his diocese initially because of a religious dispute and later for writing the present work. Growing dissatisfaction with Louis XVI leading up to the French Revolution made it once again both popular and dangerous though ironically the present edition and others were produced with patronage from members of the royal family.The story of Telemachus and Minerva was meant as a small addition to fill a gap in the chronology of Homer's great epic the Odyssey. While Telemachus the son of Ulysses/Odysseus is in theory the main character the principal focus is actually on "Mentor" or Minerva who teaches him how to rule and how to live life in general with both wisdom and morality. Fénelon's work proved incredibly popular going through numerous editions and translations throughout the 18th and well into the 19th century. The author's ideals of simplicity equality and world peace found their way through Telemachus and Minerva/Athena to French revolutionaries and German romantics thus indirectly shaping 18th- and 19th-century European cultural and political thought. It also found its way to North America - becoming one of Thomas Jefferson's favourites - and the Ottoman Empire. With the publication of an edition in Ottoman Turkish in 1859 it became the first European novel to be translated into Turkish.The present luxurious edition - which stands in stark contrast to the author's original message of simplicity and relative equality - was produced under the direction of Pierre François Didot with the patronage of the future King Louis XVIII. It is the first edition to unite the text with the detailed illustrations by Monnet and Tilliard. The first 6 plates belonging to the first 2 books in volume 1 are numbered signed and captioned all other plates are "avant la lettre" without the textual information and are very rare. The main text is set in the new Gros Romain gras roman type that Didot commissioned for this book from the punchcutter Jean-Baptiste Gérard and printed on high quality wove paper made by Pierre II and Étienne Montgolfier in Annonay.With the bookbinder's label of Nicolas-Denis Derome mounted on the verso of the second flyleaf "Rélié par Derome le jeune". The boards have been slightly rubbed the spines are somewhat faded due to exposure to sunlight in the past. The work is slightly browned and very lightly foxed throughout the tissue paper guards have browned some of the plates are stained. Otherwise in very good condition.l Cohen & De Ricci cols. 384-385; André Jammes Les Didot 1998 p. 27; Jeanne Veyrin-Forrer Les caracteres de Pierre-François Didot 1783-1790 in: Gutenberg-Jahrbuch 1962 pp. 57-67 at pp. 60-64 & figs. 1-7 also in Veyrin-Forrer La lettre et le texte 1987 pp. 139-157; Quérard III p. 92; for the plates by Tilliard after Monnet: Portalis 1877 pp. 399-413. l'imprimerie de Monsieur" [colophon below advertisement: Pierre François Didot le jeune, printer to the future King Louis XVIII hardcover

Bound in contemporary paste-paper boards soiled but sound; some staining to lower right corner of some of the leaves. With faults an acceptable copy.

"In 1762 he was brought by Bartolozzi to Joseph Wagner's shop in Venice" and worked with several printers until 1772 when he moved to Rome to run his own shop and open a school of engraving. In 1786 he published a book with 36 plates entitled Principi del Disegno. Raphael Morghen was among his many pupils in Rome. The in this edition of Les Aventures de Télémaque Volpato's his engravings are in the classical style and some of them demonstrate his skill capturing the moment and highlighting the action of the scene. He is best remembered for series of plates after the frescos in the Vatican. Hind Short History of Engraving and Etching p. 209.
