Pensées de M. Pascal sur la religion et sur quelques autres sujets qui ont esté trouvées après sa mort parmy ses papiers

1670LCS-A1The 1670 Pensées by Pascal bound in red morocco à la Duseuil of the period.Prestigious copy from the library of the master teacher of the Plessis-Sorbonne college the Abbé de Saint-André enriched with his handwritten ex-libris dated March 21 1698."Labbé de St André. A Paris au Collège du Plessis Sorbonnel'an mil six cents nonante huit ce jourduy 21 mars".12mo. Collation: 41 preliminary leaves 365 pages 10 leaves of table.Full red morocco covers decorated in the style of Duseuil richly decorated spine with raised bands gilt edges. Contemporary morocco binding.148 x 82 mm.Precious edition of the Pensées printed in the year 1670 bound in red morocco of the period the copy of the Abbé de Saint-André master at the famous College du Plessis-Sorbonne in the year 1698.Copy belonging to the second of the four editions published in 1670 Brunet supplément II 167 gives it priority and calls it the original edition; Tchemerzine ranks it second calling it the first counterfeit from the library of the "Abbé de Saint-André master at the Collège du Plessis-Sorbonne A Paris the year 1698 this day March 21".This college was founded in 1317 by Geoffroy du Plessis-Balisson apostolic notary and secretary to Philippe le Long under the name Collège Saint-Martin-au-Mont. But it quickly came to be known as the Collège du Plessis. It was joined to the Sorbonne in 1646 and then took the name Plessis-Sorbonne. Its buildings are now occupied by the current Lycée Louis-le-Grand.The classical 19th-century bibliographers considered the present edition as the true original. Thus Deschamps in the Supplément de Brunet II-167 described it as:"Original edition; it consists of 41 preliminary leaves 365 pages and 10 leaves of table; the privilege granted to sieur Périer given in Paris on December 27 1666 says at the end: Completed printing for the first time January 2 1670; there is an errata on the verso."M. Petier was the first to carefully compare this edition with the unique copy of the 1669 edition preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale; the two editions are essentially the same; the number of pages the ornaments and the typographic layout are identical; the differences are these: the title is not exactly the same; the 1669 copy lacks ecclesiastical approvals the privilege and the table ends at the word Charnel meaning the last nine leaves are missing; moreover the 1669 copy was not revised that is it did not undergo the deletions or changes likely demanded by the Archbishop of Paris.Two other editions appeared in the same year 1670.1/ "A second counterfeit under the same date with identical collation has a slightly different title. The monogram of G. Desprez is replaced by the fleuron from the Provinciales quarto edition of 1657" Tchémerzine V 71.2/ The true second edition of the Pensées this time with the errors corrected. The title is identical to that of the original edition but the collation differs: duodecimo of 39 leaves 358 pages numbered as 334 and 10 leaves.Among these four editions published in 1670 ours would occupy the second place in chronological order. It is extremely rare bound in morocco of the period."Pascal remains unique not so much because he is 'one of the greatest intellects to have appeared' Paul Valéry but for his passion his momentum for that aggressiveness which seizes the reader's soul for those discoveries those surprises which he holds in store which astonish and confound the reader and make him discover within himself not only abysses but the meansor rather the only meansof crossing them.""As it was known that Pascal had planned to work on religion great care was taken after his death to collect all the writings he had made on that subject. They were found all together strung together in various bundles but without any order without any sequence. And all of it was so imperfect and so poorly written that it took immense effort to decipher them" says Étienne Périer in his preface. Pascal's friends Roannez Brienne and Étienne Périer ultimately decided to publish the fragments arranging them in a certain order grouping together the thoughts with related subjects merely "clarifying and embellishing" them. The result of this work was the 1670 edition.Copies of Pascal's Pensées printed in 1670 and bound in contemporary morocco are rare; one belonging to the first original edition of 1670 was sold for 230000 by Sotheby's 24 years ago Sotheby's December 5 2001; another from the Pierre Bérès collection trimmed and restored was sold for 120000 twenty years ago.Precious copy bound in decorated morocco of the period with superb provenance: "Labbé de St André Collège du Plessis-Sorbonne ce 21 mars 1698"The rise of Paris as the capital of France was supported by the development and influence of the University of Paris. It came into being during the 12th century as a result of the steady growth of the Parisian schools grouped on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève. These schools provided an education preparing for three degrees: the baccalaureate grammar dialectic rhetoric the license arithmetic geometry astronomy music and the doctorate medicine canon law theology.By the end of the Middle Ages the University of Paris had become the largest cultural and scientific center in Europe attracting some 20000 students. Its reputation rested on the prestige of its teachers but also on its libraries whose richness was matched only by the papal library. The University of Paris was the cradle of the "second French humanism" in the 15th century and it was at the Sorbonne that the first printing press in France was installed in 1469 by the royal librarian Guillaume Fichet and the prior of the college Jean Heynlin."The institution endowed with a significant library a chapel and dormitories intended for the comfort of its students was indeed associated with the faculty of theology and established itself permanently in the heart of medieval Paris. From century to century the college later known as 'la Sorbonne' played an increasingly important role in the life of the Kingdom of France actively participated in intellectual debate and tirelessly pursued its educational mission. In 1622 its illustrious principal and soon-to-be cardinal Richelieu seeking a place to house his own tomb undertook major renovations and began the construction of a chapel. This marked the beginning of a continuous modernization of the buildings as the University's reputation kept growing throughout Europe. In 1698 the Abbé de Saint-André master at the Collège du Plessis-Sorbonne inscribed his handwritten ex-libris on this copy of the 1670 Pensées bound in morocco of the period.FRANCAISLes Pensées de Pascal de 1670 reliées en maroquin rouge à la Duseuil de l'époque.Prestigieux exemplaire provenant de la bibliothèque du maître enseignant du Plessis-Sorbonne l'abbé de Saint-André enrichi de son ex-libris manuscrit en date du 21 mars 1698."

Mais il fut vite désigné sous le nom de collège du Plessis. Il fut uni à la Sorbonne en 1646 et prit alors le nom de Plessis-Sorbonne. Ses bâtiments sont occupés par l'actuel lycée Louis le Grand.Les bibliographes classiques du XIXe siècle considéraient la présente édition comme la première originale. Ainsi Deschamps dans le Supplément de Brunet II-167 la décrivait-il ainsi :" Edition originale ; elle se compose de 41 ff. limin. de 365 pp. et de 10 ff. de table ; le privilège délivré au sieur Périer donné à Paris le 27 décembre 1666 porte à la fin : Achevé d'imprimer pour la première fois le 2 janvier 1670 ; il y a un errata au verso.M. Petier le premier confronta minutieusement cette édition avec l'exemplaire unique de l'édition de 1669 que conserve la Bibliothèque Nationale ; les deux éditions n'en font qu'une ; le nombre des pages les fleurons les dispositions typographiques sont les mêmes ; il n'y a de différences que celles-ci : le titre n'est pas absolument le même ; l'exemplaire de 1669 n'a ni les approbations ecclésiastiques ni le privilège et la table finit au mot Charnel c'est-à-dire que les ix derniers ff. manquent ; de plus l'exemplaire de 1669 n'a pas été cartonné c'est-à-dire qu'il n'a pas subi les suppressions ou modifications qui furent exigées sans doute par l'archevêque de Paris ".Deux autres éditions virent le jour en cette même année 1670.1/ " Une seconde contrefaçon sous la même date avec collation identique a un titre un peu différent. Le monogramme de G. Desprez y est remplacé par le fleuron des Provinciales éd. in-4 de 1657 " Tchémerzine v 71.2/ La véritable seconde édition des " Pensées " avec cette fois les fautes corrigées. Le titre est identique à celui de l'édition originale mais la collation est différente : in-12 de 39 ff. 358 pp. chiff. 334 et 10 ff.Parmi ces quatre éditions parues en 1670 la notre occuperait la seconde place par ordre chronologique. Elle est infiniment rare reliée en maroquin de l'époque." Pascal reste unique non pas tant parce qu'il est " une des plus fortes intelligences qui aient paru " Paul Valéry mais par sa fougue par son élan par cette agressivité qui empoigne l'âme du lecteur par ces découvertes ces surprise qu'il lui réserve qui l'étonnent qui le confondent et lui font découvrir en lui non seulement des abîmes mais les moyens ou plutôt l'unique moyen de les franchir. "" Comme l'on savait le dessein qu'avait Pascal de travailler sur la religion l'on eut un très grand soin après sa mort de recueillir tous les écrits qu'il avait faits sur cette matière. On les trouva tous ensemble enfilés en diverses liasses mais sans aucun ordre sans aucune suite. Et tout cela était si imparfait et si mal écrit qu'on a eu toutes les peines du mondes à les déchiffrer " dit Etienne Périer dans sa préface. Les amis de Pascal Roannez Brienne et Étienne Périer s'en tinrent finalement à l'édition des fragments en les disposant dans un certain ordre groupant celles des pensées qui avaient quelque affinité par le sujet se contentant de les " éclaircir et embellir ". Le résultat de ce travail fut l'édition de 1670.Les exemplaires des " Pensées " de Pascal imprimés en 1670 reliés en maroquin de l'époque sont rares ; l'un appartenant à la première édition originale de 1670 fut vendu 230 000 par Sotheby's il y a 24 ans Sotheby's 5 décembre 2001 ; le second provenant de la bibliothèque Pierre Bérès court de marges et restauré fut vendu 120 000 il y a 20 ans.Précieux exemplaire relié en maroquin décoré de l'époque à superbe provenance : " Labbé de St André Collège du Plessis-Sorbonne ce 21 mars 1698 "L'affirmation de Paris comme capitale de la France s'appuya sur le développement et le rayonnement de l'Université de Paris. Celle-ci vit le jour au cours du XIIe siècle au terme d'une croissance continue des écoles parisiennes regroupées sur la Montagne Sainte-Geneviève. Ces écoles dispensaient un enseignement qui préparait à trois grades : le baccalauréat grammaire dialectique rhétorique la licence arithmétique géométrie astronomie musique et le doctorat médecine droit canonique théologie.A la fin du Moyen-Âge l'Université de Paris était devenue le plus grand centre culturel et scientifique européen attirant quelque 20 000 étudiants. Elle tirait sa renommée du prestige de ses maitres mais également de ses bibliothèques dont la richesse n'avait d'égale que celle de la bibliothèque pontificale. L'Université de Paris fut le berceau du " second humanisme français " au xvè siècle et c'est à la Sorbonne que fut installée en 1469 la première imprimerie de France par le bibliothécaire du roi Louis xi Guillaume Fichet et le prieur du collège Jean Heynlin." L'établissement doté d'une bibliothèque d'envergure d'une chapelle et de dortoirs destinés au confort de ses étudiants s'associe en effet à la faculté de théologie et s'implante durablement au cur du Paris médiéval. De siècle en siècle le collège que l'on nomme par la suite " la Sorbonne " joue un rôle grandissant dans la vie du royaume de France participe activement au débat intellectuel et poursuit sans relâche sa tâche d'enseignement. En 1622 son illustre proviseur et bientôt cardinal Richelieu à la recherche d'un lieu pour accueillir son propre tombeau entreprend de grands travaux de rénovation et débute alors la construction d'une chapelle. C'est le début d'une modernisation constante des bâtiments à mesure que la renommée de l'Université ne cesse de s'accroître dans toute l'Europe. En 1698 l'Abbé de Saint André maître au collège du Plessis-Sorbonne apposait son exlibris manuscrit sur cet exemplaire des Pensées de 1670 relié en maroquin de l'époque. Guillaume Desprez.

Edition: First Edition Binding: Contemporary half red morocco with gilt double fillet borders with marbled boards; expertly rebacked; spine with 5 raised gilt designed bands and central gilt ornaments; gilt titled morocco labels on two and four; matching marbled pasted and free endpapers. Notes: Text in French. This example does not include Perse Ancienne; it includes a complete set of Perse Moderne's 100 exquisite lithographed plates. First edition of this survey of Modern Persia. This is the atlas volume for the Modern Persia section only. There are several atlas volumes that form part of the larger set with text volumes which are not present here. While complete sets are very rare and the part on ancient Persia focuses mainly on ancient monuments and structures of architectural interest the modern part describes the country during the 19th century many parts of which were difficult and unsafe to access; it is therefore of greater interest and the more sought after. Jean-Baptiste Eugène Napoléon Flandin 1809-1889 was a French orientalist painter archaeologist and politician. He is most renowned for his famous drawings and paintings of Persian monuments landscapes and social life made during his travels with the architect Pascal Coste during the years 1839-41. Flandin’s observations on the state of Persia and international politics in the mid-19th century also continue to provide important documentary information. In 1839 Flandin was along with Coste made a laureate of the Institut de France and they both joined the embassy of the Comte de Sercey to Persia. After parting from de Sercey’s mission they left Isfahan with very limited financial means and retinue. Flandin’s courage during this journey which spanned the entirety of Persia was praised by Coste who also noted his intrepidity during times of duress. Their timetable and work were strictly organized. After Flandin’s return to France he was awarded the Légion d’honneur in 1842 for his part in this government-sponsored archaeological mission. The atlas volumes form part of the larger set with text volumes not included here. Size: Folio 612 mm x 432 mm Illustration: 100 lithographed plates including 2 finely hand coloured plates.

J.-P. Barbier-Mueller Dictionnaire des poètes français de la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle Q-W Droz 2023.A major princeps edition of texts rediscovered during the Renaissance. An important princeps edition of the treatises of the Roman land surveyors including the De conditionibus agrorum of Siculus Flaccus the De agrorum qualitate et controversis limitum of Frontinus the De limitibus constituendis of Hyginus "the gromaticus" and the De controversiis agrorum of Agennius Urbicus. This corpus is a 5th6th-century compilation of land-surveying and boundary-setting texts from the Roman Empire dating back to the 1st century with agrarian implications use of the cadastre and calculation of tax architectural and religious ones e.g. the layout of a temple. It contains the foundations of surveying the typology of lands the art of tracing boundaries and boundary-marking procedures measurements and plans.The work is illustrated with about 150 woodcuts diagrams and schemata inspired by the famous Wolfenbüttel manuscript and our copy is indeed complete with leaf 134bis a printed cancel. It notably includes the figure of the gnomon p. 117 an astronomical instrument whose shadow visualises the movement of the Sun across the celestial vault very valuable for topographical recordings. Adrien Turnèbe is the architect of the edition assisted by Pierre Galland whose dedicatory epistle to Cardinal Charles de Lorraine opens the book. The editors relied on the manuscript they had discovered ten years earlier at the abbey of Saint-Bertin in Saint-Omer today preserved at Wolfenbüttel: Cod. Guelf. 105 Gud. lat.; see Lewis 1998 pp. 38-39 and M. Crawford 2016. After completing most of the edition Turnèbe was given through Gentien Hervetwho was in contact with Pascal Robin our annotator cf. belowa copy of an important Italian manuscript today in the Vatican Library Ms Pal. lat. 1564 then belonging to Angelo Colocci. Hervet likely obtained access to it in Italy through Jean Matal who notes in his copy of the Turnèbe edition regarding passages he transcribed from the Colocci ms.: "I had them copied for Jean du Tillet who showed them to the Parisians" Girard 1908 p. 238. Turnèbe decided to list the main textual contributions provided by Gentien Hervet at the end of the edition in a list of variae lectiones on pp. 247-256.Precious copy of the Angevin poet Pascal Robin Seigneur du Faux 1538-1593 an epigone of Ronsard who entered 130 fine scholarly notes in our copy. A follower and devotee of the poets of the Pléiade admirer of Ronsard he wrote numerous occasional pieces or liminary poems: notably for the Oeuvres of Remy Belleau in 1585; and especially for Ronsard's tomb volume: Les funèbres regrets sur la mort de Pierre de Ronsard Paris Linocier 1586 for which he wrote pp. 7-21 including an "Epitaph of Pierre de Ronsard Gentleman of Vendôme Prince of French Poets". In 1582 he announced the publication of an Angiademodelled on La Franciadewhich however was never completed. Two other poetic collections are attributed to him: Les Sonnets d'Estrenes and Les Vendanges 1572 the latter dedicated to the Duke of Anjou. He also supplied a liminary dizain for the French translation of Saint Augustine's City of God published in 1570 by Gentien Hervetclearly a close associate. Robin du Faux was also very closely connected with the bibliographer La Croix Du Maine and with legal-scholarly circles in Anjou cf. J. Pineaux M. Simonin and Barbier-Mueller.Our poet took particular interest in ancient topography: which explainsalong with his closeness to Gentien Hervethis interest in this work on surveying. It is also known that Robin du Faux collaborated on Belleforest's Cosmographie Universelle. As M. Simonin reminds us Robin contributed "at the request of Nicolas Chesneau and Michel Sonnius to this enterprise which bears the name of Belleforest". See on the subject the long article by Jacques Pineaux: "Un admirateur angevin de Ronsard : Pascal Robin du Faux" in La Poésie angevine du xvie siècle au début du xviie siècle Angers Presses de l'Université 1982 pp. 50-59. One also finds in the Cosmographie universelle concerning the environs of Angers Robin du Faux's identification of the village of Reculée described as "a pleasure house near Angers" with Herculée. This is a point of ancient geography that Robin also mentions in one of his poems: "Du grand Hercule a bosquet d'Herculée / Que l'ignorance appelle Recullée" Les Vendanges Nantes Jacques Rousseau 1572.Topographical technical & scholarly notes Robin du Faux particularly sought to record systematically in the margins the readings of the Italian manuscript discovered by Gentien Hervet with whom he was in contact and took care to indicate the variants. The most striking variant concerns the beginning of Hyginus's De limitis constituendis p. 91 which elicits the following note with a cross-reference to the end of the work for the alternative beginning: "below fol. 256 another beginning for this book has been added from the Italian manuscript according to Hervet Infra fol. 256 aliud hujus libri initium est additum ex Herveti exemplari italico." Epigraphic considerations require that the examples of tabulae given by Hyginus be accurate: just as Pierre Pithou did in his copy BnF RES-F-891 Pascal Robin restores from the second manuscript the names "P. Tith. filio et Augerio Sullo" missing from the base text p. 132. Robin notes other variants of significant meaning: p. 220 in the short treatise De Casae litterarum concerning the question of the shape of the estate he observes that Turnèbe's text reads rectagoni "rectangle" whereas the Italian manuscript reads tetragoni "square". Several annotations testify to his knowledge of Roman historians: p. 168 regarding scorosiones heaps of rocks he recalls that these evoke Gallic oppida with a reference to Caesar. He is likely thinking of a passage in The Gallic WarVI 17 where tumuli erected to Mercury by the Gauls are mentioned. His critical sense appears in a marginal note on Berossus where he shows that he knows it is a dubious source in fact a forgery produced by Annius of Viterbo at the end of the 15th century: "one is close to falsehood and almost to fable unless you trust the history of Berossus" Propinquum tô muthô fabulosumque fere nisi Berosi historiam agnosces. In Hyginus's treatise On Boundaries p. 145 Hyginus 25 CUF ed. vol. II p. 9 he pauses on a development concerning the "quaestorian lands" that is lands entrusted by the people to the authority of the quaestors. He adds a reference to Suetonius's Life of Augustus after writing in Greek the word plinthides a measure designating one hundred jugera of land. He is sometimes halted by questions of etymology etymon of territorium p. 71.The second annotator who probably took possession of the book in the 17th century shows interest in technical matters. He adds complementary references: he advises p. 229 referring to Columella for the Gallic agrarian measure arapennis Columella 516 takes interest p. 171 in botontines mounds of earth serving as boundary-markers between plots and refers for additional information to a letter by Symmachus. He does not neglect more contextual developments and thus underlines a passage from Agennius Urbicus's treatise On Land Disputes concerning the increase in the number of Christian faithful in Italy p. 74.A precious work annotated by a poet contemporary with Ronsard

Périer Pascal's brother-in-law one year after his death. We find at the end 2 engraved folded plates."Catalogue de Backer n°760.Pascal undertakes to search for the cause of the effects he observed both by the method of difference this is the experiment of emptiness into the void and by the method of variations it is the great experiment he talks about in a letter to Périer and which the latter made on the Puy-de-Dôme in 1648.He shows that the gravity or pressure of the air which suspends quicksilver mercury in the barometric tube is the cause of all the observed facts and allows to considerate them as special cases of a universal proposition of the balance of liquors.With these works Pascal inaugurated experimental science and appeared as the first and one of the greatest among modern physicists at the same time as an extraordinary theorist of the scientific method." La grande expérience de l'équilibre des liqueurs a été effectuée au Puy de Dôme le 19 septembre 1643 et confiée à Florin Périer beau-frère de Pascal. Ce dernier établit d'une façon irréfutable que la hauteur du mercure suspendue dans le tube de Torricelli pouvait varier avec l'altitude. Il s'ensuit dit Pascal que la pesanteur et la pression de l'air sont la seule cause de la suspension du mercure et non l'horreur du vide et qu'au contraire la nature s'accomode fort bien du vide.Pascal généralise tous ces résultats en formulant les principes de l'hydrostatique qui seront consignés dans le 'Traitez de l'équilibre des liqueurs et de la pesanteur de la masse de l'air'.Ce recueil fut publié en 1663 un an après la mort de Pascal. Les expériences de Pascal et Torricelli eurent le grand mérite de prouver non seulement l'expérience de la pression atmosphérique mais aussi l'existence du vide ce vide qui jouera un rôle si important en physique moderne "."The highly persuasive 'Traitez' assembling and coordinating earlier results and recent discoveries are characterized above all by their rigorous experimental method and by the categorical rejection of Scholasticism. In hydrostatics Pascal continued the investigations of Stevin Galileo Torricelli and Mersenne… The 'Traitez' are indisputably a classic of seventeenth-century science". DSB.The present edition is illustrated with 2 large folding plates illustrating the various experiments of Pascal 245 x 170; 235 x 170 mm.This edition was printed six years before Les Pensées by the same printer-bookseller "Guillaume Desprez" in Paris in 1663.

" Catalogue de Backer n°760.Pascal entreprend de rechercher la cause des effets qu'il a observés à la fois par la méthode de la différence c'est l'expérience du vide dans le vide et par la méthode des variations c'est la grande expérience dont il trace le projet dans une lettre à Périer et que ce dernier réalisa sur le Puy-de-Dôme en 1648.Il montre que la pesanteur ou pression de l'air qui suspend le vif-argent le mercure dans le tube barométrique est la cause de tous les faits observés et permet de les considérer comme des cas particuliers d'une proposition universelle de l'équilibre des liqueurs.Par ces travaux Pascal inaugurait la science expérimentale et apparaissait comme le premier et un des plus grands parmi les physiciens modernes en même temps qu'un extraordinaire théoricien de la méthode scientifique." Ces Traités ne sont pas seulement remarquables par la justesse et la liaison des idées par la force et la clarté du raisonnement par le choix et la vigueur des arguments; ils le sont encore par la propriété des expressions par les tournures heureuses par la pureté de la diction en un mot par la couleur et les agréments du style. L'aimable facilité et le rare bonheur avec lequel Pascal manie la langue française offrent un contraste frappant avec le ton ampoulé le style précieux guindé et surchargé de figures ridicules que l'on trouve dans les écrivains les plus en vogue de son temps. Les grâces qu'il sait répandre sur des discussions arides de physique et de géométrie annoncent un talent qu'il va déployer bientôt de la manière la plus éclatante sur des matières non moins ingrates.

Photograph album of Palestine Syria Turkey and Greece.

1867ABC_474041867. Contemporary gold-tooled reddish-brown morocco over cushioned covers gold-tooled turn-ins watered-silk end papers gilt edges. Oblong folio ca. 28 x 38 cm. With 75 albumen prints most signed and numbered in the negative. Beautiful and unusually large souvenir album with 75 photographs of Syria Palestine Constantinople and Athens in a luxurious binding. The photographs were made by the renowned studios of Félix Bonfils 1831-1885 and Pascal Sébah 1823-1886 who were already widely celebrated in their own time for their pioneering work in Egypt the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East. Their images could be bought separately or as customised albums but collections as large as the present one are uncommon as few sets exceed fifty images. The majority of the photographs in the album are signed by Bonfils. He opened his first studio in Beirut in 1867 and produced thousands of photographs of the region. The present album contains one of the photographs he is most known for namely the group of Jews in front of the Wailing Wall. Bonfils personally considered this haunting image to be one of his best works. Other photographs include views of Damascus Beirut and Jerusalem the church of the Holy Sepulchre the Dome of the Ascension Jericho Jaffa Ramallah the Jordan river the temple of Jupiter in Baalbek and the Umayyad mosque. The remaining photographs in the album are either signed by Sébah or unsigned and include beautiful portraits of locals views of Istanbul the Blue Mosque Hagia Sophia Galata bridge and the Bosphorus river and Athens the Theseion the temple of Olympian Zeus the Parthenon and the caryatids of Erechtheion.With a black bookseller's label mounted at the foot of the front pastedown Philip Son & Nephew Liverpool some of the photographs are captioned in ink underneath. The leaves are somewhat browned and the albumen prints are slightly yellowed. Otherwise in very good condition.l Cf. El-Hage B.

Ce n'est pas un problème qu'il ait moins de lecteurs que d'habitude car un livre écrit pour 20 000 personnes peut mériter le prix. Mais c'est très classique très convenu et très prolixe . ».

Chaque paragraphe est un roman en puissance c'est cela que nous avons couronné. » Un couronnement dont se serait presque passé Quignard lui qui dans Les ombres errantes parle de ces hommes qui sont « des trous d'acide dans la vie sociale accoutumée » : « Mon embarras est que depuis que je me suis retiré de tout voici sept ans je ne parais plus au moment des prix.

"These letters were originally issued clandestinely in eighteen parts as a series of separate publications by a variety of different printers between 23 January 1656 and 15 January 1657. No detailed or authoritative information on these separate issues is available" PMM. "The Lettres Provinciales as they are called are the first example of French prose as we know it today perfectly finished in form varied in style and on a subject of universal importance.Pascal was an infant prodigy whose work in mathematics and natural science attracted considerable attention before he was sixteen. But he will always be chiefly remembered as a moralist more especially as the great apologist for Jansenism the seventeenth-century French ascetic movement of reform inside the Roman Catholic Church.At the end of 1655 the movement had been much under attack from the Jesuits and Pascal was persuaded to write a rejoinder.his counter-attack took the form of a brilliant exposure of the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits.Pascal's weapon was irony and the freshness with which the gravity of the subject contrasts with the lightness of the manner is an enduring triumph. The vividness and distinction of his style recalls Milton at its best." Printing and the Mind of Man 140. Chés Pierre de la Vallée unknown

Oeuvres.

1779153032The Hague: Detune 1779. Collecting Pascal's published and unpublished work First collected edition of Pascal's works containing much significant material published here for the first time. Pascal is the towering figure among the European mathematicians of the mid 17th century. His achievements range from his celebrated calculating machine - the first to be produced commercially - to projective geometry the calculus of probabilities and indivisibles and to the study of infinitesimal problems. This edition was prepared by an important French disseminator of science and major contributor to scientific education Charles Bossut 1730-1814. His textbooks of engineering and physics were in use in France and - in translations - in other European countries up to the Empire. He also wrote the "Discours sur la vie & les ouvrages de Pascal" which takes up pages 3 to 119 of volume I of this edition. The first three volumes are devoted to Pascal's literary and philosophical writings the final two volumes to his scientific texts. For a detailed bibliographical analysis see René Taton's article in DSB. Among the scientific works appearing here for the first time are the famous Pascal-Noël correspondence on the vacuum the letter to Le Pailleur refuting Noël the preface to the treatise on the vacuum the only surviving fragment of his intended major treatise on the vacuum and his correspondence with Fermat and de Ribeyre. Also included are all of the Pascal texts relating to his invention of the calculating machine with two finely engraved plates depicting the mechanism Pascal's letter to Queen Christina Royal patents etc. which are virtually unobtainable in the originals. 5 vols octavo 199 x 127 mm. Titles printed in red and black with engraved portrait frontispiece 13 folding engraved plates 1 further plate usually folding here trimmed and single page woodcut vignettes woodcut tailpieces in the text.

Panorama de Constantinople pris de la Tour de Galata.

1888167887Istanbul: Sébah & Joaillier c.1888. Remarkable photographic panorama of Istanbul A superb panoramic view of the city taken from the Galata Tower looking over the Bosporus towards the Asian side; across the Golden Horn can be seen the Topkapi Palace and the great mosques of the city Haghia Sophia the Blue Mosque the Yeni Mosque and the Süleymaniye. In 1857 Pascal Sébah opened one of the first photographic studios in Constantinople. Having met with great success in 1873 he expanded the business setting up a further establishment in Cairo near to the renowned Shepheard's Hotel. In 1883 he suffered a stroke and the business was taken over by his son Jean who styled himself J. Pascal Sebah so as not to break the continuity of the business and was to become a talented photographer in his own right. In 1888 he went into partnership with a French photographer resident in Istanbul Policarpe Joaillier the firm in time becoming official photographers of the Sultan. In various forms this business continued down to the middle of the 20th century when in 1952 its last incarnation Foto Sabah finally closed its doors. "From the 1870s Sébah and Joaillier were major suppliers of evocative imagery to the increasing number of people who undertook the Victorian Grand Tour" Hannavy p. 1261. Landscape folio 310 x 375 mm. With 10 albumen prints mounted on card panels and joined with linen tape leporello-style to form a panorama approximately 3.47 m over 11 feet in length card panels 3054 x 340 mm; photographic prints 247 x 340 mm. Original red sand-grain cloth over bevelled boards red roan backstrip title gilt to front cover within elaborate ornamental gilt panel and incorporating images of the Galata and Maiden's towers gilt stamp to back cover of the ay-y ld z star and crescent within a laurel wreath.

In all 14 engraved plates of which 13 are folded. Scarce first edition of Pascal's collected works comprising much significant material printed for the first time as well as the second appearance of the announcement of Pascal's groundbreaking calculating machine the first edition privately printed of which from 1645 is impossibly scarce making this the earliest obtainable edition of the seminal text. "Pascal designed his first mechanical adding machine in 1642. He was not the first to design and construct a mechanical calculator." but in contrast to Schickard's accomplishments which were destined for a history of obscurity Pascal in contrast "constructed about fifty examples of his machine of which several are extant; and the machine was well known to the cognoscenti both through Pascal's own efforts he hoped to make a profit selling them and through Diderot's later description of it in the "Encyclopédie" 1751. In 1645 Pascal published an eighteen-page pamphlet - now extremely rare - describing his calculating machine. The pamphlet does not identify a place of printing or a printer's name so we may assume that Pascal himself paid for its printing. When we wrote this bibliography OCLC cited only two copies of this pamphlet in one French library and no copies and North America." The pamphlet was reprinted along with additional material in volume IV pp. 7-30 of the present "Oeuvres". The additional material consists of Pascal's 1650 letter to Queen Christina of Sweden; the privilege for its construction and sale issued in 1649 and published for the first time here ; and Diderot's description of it for the "Encyclopédie" along with two plates.

LES PROVINCIALES and related material

1656ST12177-11Paris or Leyden 1656-57; related material 1657-58. 235 x 165 mm. 9 1/4 x 6 1/2". With 16 of 18 letters lacking letters IV and XVIII as well as general title and "Advertisement" leaf. 17 of 19 individually issued parts including the "Refutation de la Réponse à la Douzième Lettre". The original parts bound up in pleasing modern tan crushed morocco blind-ruled border raised bands gilt titling new endpapers. PMM 140; Tchemerzine V 62-63. ◆Light brown stain to head margin of the last quarter of the leaves occasional faint browning or foxing elsewhere more conspicuous on final gathering minor worming in bottom margin of a few leaves otherwise a very good copy internally with nothing approaching a serious defect and in a pleasing unworn binding. In addition to related material normally not included this volume contains 17 of the rare original 19 separately issued letters or "Provinciales" by the French polymath Blaise Pascal 1623-62 a series characterized by PMM as "the first example of French prose as we know it today perfectly finished in form . . . on a subject of universal importance . . . and an expression of one of the finest intelligences of the seventeenth century." Prompted by the Jesuits' condemnation for heresy of Pascal's friend Antoine Arnauld the letters are "a magnificent sustained invective" PMM against the laxity and casuistry of his detractors and at the same time a defense of Jansenism that theological movement and faction within Catholicism that grew out of the writings of Dutch theologian Cornelius Jansen 1585-1638 and that emphasized many of the Calvinist tenets of faith human sinfulness lack of free will and the necessity of divine Grace. The additional material apparently collected from a variety of sources comprises letters Pascal wrote to parish priests seeking assistance with the controversy. There is also a copy of Noel de la Lane's "Recit de ce qui s'est Passé au Parlement au Sujet de la Bulle de Nostre S. Père le Pape Alexandre VII. contre les Censures de Sorbonne" ca. 1665. Pascal 1623-62 was a man of many attainments in several fields among them physics philosophy and mathematics. Above all he was a profound thinker a devout Christian and the creator of memorable prose. Written simply lucidly objectively and wittily the "Provinciales" represents a landmark in French literature an early expression of Enlightenment thinking. It was enormously successful dealt the Jesuits a fatal setback and influenced the prose of Voltaire and Rousseau. Not surprisingly the book was put on the Index and ordered to be burned. Originally printed clandestinely by various printers as separate publications at various times during 1656 and 1657 the series is bibliographically complicated but it is clear that our quarto format versions precede the duodecimo printing dated 1657 and obviously those editions with later dates. It is likely given the small parts we are missing that someone assembled the various letters found here as they were issued at the time. A complete set of these letters in first edition--which is rarely seen--would sell for a considerable amount of money. unknown

Panorama de Constantinople Pris de la Tour de Calata sic Panorama of Constantinople Taken from the Galata Tower 10 ALBUMEN PHOTOGRAPHS

189054541Constantinople: Sebah & Joaillier 1890. First edition. Hardcover. vg- to vg. Oblong small folio. 12 1/4 x 14 1/4". Red pebbled cloth boards with decorative gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the covers. Rebacked maroon leather spine. Gilt-stamped crescent moon and star motif the national emblem of Turkey on the back cover. Taken from the Galata Tower in what is now the Karaköy neighborhood of Istanbul this magnificent panorama displays the skyline and cityscape of Constantinople as it appeared sometime in the late 1880s or early 1890s. The panorama is comprised of 10 original albumen photographs mounted on heavy card stock and bound together in accordion style leporello measuring a total of more then 11 feet when completely unfolded. Shot in a southwardly direction the viewer can see Galata Karaköy in the foreground and from left to right across the Bosporus to the Uskudar district on the Asian side and then across the harbor at the mouth of the Golden Horn the Galata Bridge and across to the Pérama neighborhood and the Faith district where many famous landmarks of the city can be seen including the New Mosque Topkapi Palace Hagia Sophia and many others. Each panel measures about 13" wide and 12" tall. The photography is credited to "Sebah & Joaillier" one of the most prominent and prolific photography studios of Ottoman Empire during the second half of 19th century. Originally founded sometime around 1857 in Instanbul by Syrian-Armenian photographer Pascal Sebah 1823-1886 the studio was one of the earliest in the city and all of Ottoman Turkey. By the 1870s Sebah had become among the most prominent Ottoman photographers having also opened a branch of the studio in Cairo. Upon Sebah's death in 1888 the firm was taken over by his 16 year-old son Jean Pascal Sebah who then partnered with photographer Policarpe Joaillier 1848-1904. The firm was renamed "Sebah & Joaillier". Therefore although this panorama is undated it could not have been issued earlier than 1888; most likely sometime shortly thereafter circa 1890. Spine of of the portfolio has been professionally re-backed. Plates with minor to light foxing although the images are still quite clean and vibrant. Binding in very good images in very good- to very good condition overall. A slightly later version of the panorama from Sebah & Joaillier simply titled "Constantinople" is comprised of 12 slightly smaller panels instead of 10 and measures around the same size in total.
