54851Bern Beat Louis Walthard 1792. 2 Bl. Erklärungen 2 Orig.-Kuperstiche 27 x 21 cm Privat-Lwd.-Mappe. Min gebräunt tadellos Text. franz. Text. franz. 1750 verfasste Diderot einen in ganz Europa verschickten Prospekt in dem er Interessenten zur Subskription der Encyclopédie aufrief. 1751 erschienen die beiden ersten Bände der «Encyclopédie.». Der buchhändlerische Erfolg des Werkes war enorm doch die Jesuiten und die Sorbonne diagnostizierten eine unchristliche Tendenz und erwirkten beim königlichen Kronrat ein Verbot. Da aber Madame de Pompadour die Mätresse von Ludwig XV. einige Minister viele einflussreiche Freimaurer und der Chefzensor Malesherbes auf der Seite der Encyclopédisten standen konnten 1753–1756 trotz des Verbots vier weitere Bände erscheinen.Danach jedoch wuchs der Druck der Gegner. 1758 wurde das Verbot erneuert 1759 setzte Papst Clemens XIII. das Werk auf den Index. Inzwischen hatte aber die Regierung die Deviseneinnahmen schätzen gelernt die trotz des Siebenjährigen Krieges 1756–1763 durch den Verkauf der Encyclopédie aus ganz Europa hereinkamen und man ermutigte Diderot unter der Hand zum Weitermachen. Er brachte die letzten zehn Bände samt fünf Bänden Abbildungen heraus 1765. 010 Bern, Beat Louis Walthard, 1792 unknown

The text pages contain a description of the plates subdivided in "Collections". In total the Regne minérale consists of seven "collections" with 47 plates which are all present. This includes 14 plates with fossils and 11 with crystals as well as three large folded plates of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1754 and 1757. Various other minéralogie sections not listed as "collections" follow this. These include for instance Géometrie souterraine one plate Sonde de terre three plates Instruments des mines two plates Coupe d'une mine three plates Mercure one plate and an explanatory text leaf Cobalt idem Souffre two plates and text etc. etc. Some of these sections dealing with specific minerals are quite large; for instance the one on Salpetre has four text pages and nine plates of which two are larger and folded. Another larger section deals with the Ardoiserie de la Meuse slate mining along the Meuse river with eight text pages and five plates a similar one with slate mining in the Anjou region and another large section on salt mining as well as one on fabricating gunpowder. In total there are 129 plates of which many are large and folded or double folded all with explanatory text leaves. Some soiling a few old paper repairs but in general a very good set.

72387Paris Briasson David Le Breton 1768. Oblong folio 39.2 x 45.9 cm. Broadsheet plate with a fine large engraving with fine contemporary hand-colouring gilt border and printed caption. = This is a highly unusual contemporarily coloured copy of an exceptionally large plate showing an extraordinarily small and peculiar animal. It was published in the atlas of the first folio edition of the famous Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences des arts et des métiers and is a highlight in the history of microscopy. The massive Encyclopédie was edited and partly written by Diderot d'Alembert and Voltaire being the first true encyclopaedia epitomizing the Age of Enlightenment. Published between 1751 to 1772 it synthesized the knowledge of the time. It became not only a source of knowledge but also a political weapon on the battleground for power between secular and ecclesiastical thinkers and writers. The plate was drawn by François Nicolás Martinet and engraved by Robert Bénard after the famous image of Robert Hooke's Micrographia from 1665. Its dimensions indicate that this plate comes from a large-paper copy which according to Brunet ".sont assez rares". Brunet does not record coloured copies. Plates with modern colouring are not unheard of but this is altogether different - not only is the colouring very well done but the printed border is carefully gilted too often yellow in modern colouring. A vertical fold as always; some weak marginal fraying a short tear in the left margin; a few minor marginal spots; otherwise clean. The colouring bold and accurate. A very good copy. Exceedingly rare. Brunet 2 pp. 700-701; Nissen ZBI 4622. unknown
