168965452à Paris: Chez Claude Barbin 1689. Fine. Chez Claude Barbin à Paris 1689 18.50 x 25 cm relié New edition rare. The only quarto edition of Saint-Evremont's works. Barbin's flourished monogram on title page. The first ""oeuvres meslées"" appeared in 1668 without the content of pieces being similar from one volume to another. Barbin would thus publish several collections titled ""Oeuvres meslées"" sometimes adding new pieces. Ornamental headpieces tailpieces and decorated initials. Privilege of 1688. This edition is often presented as a first edition and perhaps certain texts are indeed so here; in any case Barbin required a new privilege to publish his work. Contemporary full marbled and grained calf binding. Spine with raised bands richly decorated. Tobacco morocco title label. A slight lack to upper joint at head a second to lower joint at foot. Gilding faded in places. Traces of rubbing. Handsome copy in good fresh condition. Manuscript ownership inscription ""Abbaye de Contigny"" on title page. Here is what Brunet writes about the author: ""Saint-Evremont attached his name to no important work but almost all his writings are distinguished by an original style by observations full of finesse and by piquant criticisms."" This edition contains 38 texts or parts. According to Barbin's notice some appear for the first time. The first editions according to Brunet contained only 11 or 12 parts in a small duodecimo volume.

Charles Marguetel de Saint-Denis seigneur de Saint-Évremond 1614-1703 was a moralist and libertine critic; his rigor and critical independence anticipated the Enlightenment philosophers and he was perhaps the first author to make criticism a profession. He paid little attention to his writings which circulated mainly in manuscript during his lifetime. This edition which gathers various pieces by the author including numerous letters criticisms historical research and poetry is due to Abbé de Raguenet who completed the collection with maxims by La Rochefoucauld a piece by La Fontaine a letter by Corneille. The literary success of Saint-Évremond led writers to attribute numerous works to him such as these maxims by La Rochefoucauld noticeably different from recent editions by the same author.
