1658307Leiden Netherlands alias: Coloniae: Jean Elzevir alias: Apud Nicolaum Schouten 1658. First Latin Edition. Contemporary mottled full calf. Very Good. First Latin edition published and translated from the original French anonymously for fear of reprisal from the Catholic Church and the king of France. IMPORTANCE AND IMPACT The Lettres provinciales Provincial Letters are a series of eighteen polemical letters written by Pascal under the pseudonym Louis de Montalte. In these letters Pascal humorously attacked casuistry a rhetorical method of questionable logic often used by Jesuit theologians and accused Jesuits of moral laxity. The final letter from Pascal in 1657 had defied the Pope himself provoking Alexander VII to condemn the letters. The reaction to the Lettres provinciales was substantial. Pascal's use of wit humor and mockery in attacking existing institutions made his work extremely popular. However its publication was primarily via the underground press and in 1660 Louis XIV of France banned the book and ordered it shredded and burned. The Church banned it by placing on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. Pascal himself had to enter clandestinity living in cheap hostels. Moreover even Pope Alexander while publicly opposing them nonetheless was persuaded by Pascal's arguments. Just a few years later 1665–66 and then 1679 Alexander condemned "laxity" in the church and ordered a revision of casuistic texts. Condition: Very Good. Complete. Full Title Translated: LUDOVICI MONTALTUS PROVINCIAL LETTERS from the Morality & Politics of Jesuit discipline.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Blaise Pascal 1623 – 1662 was a French mathematician physicist inventor philosopher and Catholic writer. Pascal was a child prodigy. His earliest mathematical work was on projective geometry; he wrote a significant treatise on the subject of conic sections at the age of 16. He later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science. In 1642 he started some pioneering work on calculating machines called Pascal's calculators and later Pascalines establishing him as one of the first two inventors of the mechanical calculator. Like his contemporary René Descartes Pascal was also a pioneer in the natural and applied sciences. Pascal wrote in defense of the scientific method and produced several controversial writings.He made important contributions to the study of fluids and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalising the work of Evangelista Torricelli. The SI unit for pressure is named for Pascal. Following Torricelli and Galileo Galilei in 1647 he rebutted the likes of Aristotle and Descartes who insisted that nature abhors a vacuum. He is also credited as the inventor of modern public transportation having established the carrosses à cinq sols a system of publicly available coaches the first modern public transport service shortly before his death in 1662. PROVENANCE From the estate of Francois Hemart. Hermart settled in Champagne France in the early 17th century. He is primarily remembered through the Champagne house Henri Giraud which produces a grand cu cuvee named Hommage a Francois Hemart in his honor. Jean Elzevir (alias: Apud Nicolaum Schouten) unknown

Provinciales: Or The Mysterie of Jesuitisme

165766919London: Printed by J.G. for R. Royston 1657. The first example of French prose as we know it today"-PMM PASCAL Blaise. Les Provinciales: Or The Mysterie of Jesuitisme. Discover'd in certain Letters Written upon occasion of the present differences of Sorbonne between the Jansenists and the Molinists from January 1656 to March 1657. S.N. Displaying the corrupt Maximes and Politicks of that Society. Faithfully rendred into English. London: Printed by J.G. for R. Royston 1657. First edition in English first printed in French at Cologne in 1656-7. Twelvemo. 24 409 1 blank 6 pp. With preliminary blank a post-script leaf referring to the seventeenth letter and two final leaves of errata and advertisements. Added engraved title-page by Robert Vaughan. Eighteenth-century paneled calf neatly rebacked retaining old morocco lettering label. Spine lettered in gilt with decorative gilt board-edges. Eighteenth-century armorial bookplate of John Hustler of Acklam mounted on verso of engraved title-page. Early ink notations at bottom of engraved title-page. Leaves Q thru Q12 have been affected by printer's ink mostly just a little smudging; verso of Q10 is the only page where two lines of text have been affected. Apart from the few flaws this is a fine copy of a famous work. This work is a series of eighteen letters in which "Pascal defended Arnauld and satirized his Jesuit opponents and their theological and moral views. The work was published under the pseudonym Louis de Montalte and were probably the cooperative work of Pascal Arnauld and Pierre Nicole though they were principally Pascal" Edwards P. The Encyclopedia of Philosophy p. 52. Les Provinciales is considered one of the great French literary masterpieces and the first example of French prose. No translator's name ever appeared in any of the English editions and to this day the translator remains unknown. There is however a strong possibility that the work might have been translated by Evelyn. In 1664 a third volume on Jesuitisme appeared and the translation was fully acknowledged by Evelyn. In his diaries he writes: "This day was publish'd by me that part of the Mysterie of Jesuitism translated and collected by me tho' without my name containing the Imaginarie Heresy with 4 letters and other pieces.Evelyn included the book in the list of his works sent to Dr. Plot and though he did not refer to it again in his Diary his interest in the subject remained very active" Keynes John Evelyn pp. 124-126.

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.

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

"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

La Nouvelle Découverte et les Admirables Effets des Fermens dans le Corps humain expliquée par des expériences & des raisonnemens très-solides

1681641Paris: Chez Edme Couterot rue Saint-Jacques au Bon Pasteur 1681. First edition. Contemporary full mottled calf gilt spine with floral devices in six compartments and raised bands red morocco label titled â€œEFFET DES FERM.â€ Double-ruled borders to boards red-speckled edges and attractive marbled endpapers. Binding tight and handsome with only light rubbing to extremities and minor wear at crown. A remarkable 17th-century exploration of biological fermentation and early physiological chemistry written by Jean Pascal 1642â€“1699 a French physician active during the reign of Louis XIV. In La Nouvelle DÃ©couverte Pascal investigates the theory of fermentation as a fundamental principle of life interpreting bodily functionsâ€”digestion respiration and even thoughtâ€”as chemical processes driven by â€œferments.â€ His argument aligns with the emerging mechanical and corpuscular philosophies of the period bridging alchemical tradition and the new experimental science championed by figures like Boyle and van Helmont. This work represents an important precursor to biochemical and metabolic theory framed through empirical observation and early chemical reasoning. Richly produced the volume opens with a fine engraved portrait of the author facing the title page both executed with characteristic late-Baroque elegance. The dedication is addressed to Antoine Daquin physician to Louis XIV situating Pascal within the intellectual milieu of the royal medical establishment. The book comprises fifteen â€œLettresâ€ covering the nature of fermentation solution and coagulation the role of ferments in the blood and nerves and their connection to vitality and disease. A sophisticated synthesis of medicine natural philosophy and proto-chemistryâ€”illustrating the intellectual transition between Paracelsian vitalism and Enlightenment empiricism. Condition: InteriorÂ clean and crisp with light age toning faint tide marks to a few leaves not affecting text and early ownership inscription on front blank. Engraved portrait sharp and well-inked. A very good well-preserved copy of a scarce 17th-century medical treatise. Overall very good. Chez Edme Couterot, rue Saint-Jacques, au Bon Pasteur unknown
