1690739Paris: Paris Chez Antoine Dezallier 1690 1690. First Edition. 12mo. First edition. xxv26151pp.Bound in contemporary calf. 405J <br /> <br /> <br /> Baillet was from 1680 to his death librarian to M. de Lamoignon advocat-general to the parlement of Paris of whose library he produced a manuscript catalogue raisonné in 35 folio volumes. It seems ironic that one should need to cosult Barbier to discover the author of this pioneering work but the effort is rewarding for here we read that - Cet ouvrage était le premier publié en France sur ce genre de recherches bibliographiques. The subject is approached from various angles the psychology of pseudonymity the various types of cognomes etc. This was a preliminary treatise which should have been followed by a Recueil des Auteurs Déguisés but unfortunately the author died in 1706 leaving his work unfinished and it was not for another 100 years with the publication of Barbier's Dictionnaire des Ouvrages Anonymes in 1806 that the project was finally completed. In his preface Barbier pays eloquent tribute to the erudition of his predecessor. "In 1690 Adrien Baillet 1649 - 1706 published his Auteurs deguisez. A list of nearly 1700 identifications of pseudonyms accompanied this extensive and very interesting discussion. Unconsciously Baillet adopted in this list a new procedure that has had many imitators. Aprosio's Visiera alzata and Baillet's Auteurs deguisez are the first great contributions to the study of cryptonyms by librarians." Taylor & Mosher The Bibliographical History of Anonyma and Pseudonyma pp. 115-116. Baillet was librarian to M. de Lamoignon avocat général of the Parlement de Paris. Baillet's bibliographical activities left him no time to change his clothes or to eat more than one meal a day. "Des auteurs déguisés" 1690; "Des enfants célèbres" 1688. With the exception of the last which still attracts by its curiousness these books are now almost forgotten both because they are incomplete and because they have been more than replaced by the works of such writers as Brunet Querard Barbier etc. Baillet's criticisms were not accepted by all.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> CG VI 562; Barbier.

19001866s.l., ca 1900. 35 X 26 cm (planches), 8 x 11 ou 7 x 10 cm (photos). 12 planches. Ensemble de 62 photographies originales sur papier, réparties sur 12 planches, titrées et illustrées à la main, à l'encre et à la gouache.Les photographies mettent en scène rues et monuments parisiens, statues et jardins, stations et rames du métropolitain, gares et ponts, péniches et trains. Certaines évoquent des événements festifs de la capitale, tels que l'élection de la Reine des Reines lors du Carnaval de la mi-carême ou la foire aux Pains d'épices (ancêtre de la Foire du Trône). Les transformations de l'urbanisme sont évoquées, par exemple à travers un cliché des travaux de la passerelle de Passy (futur pont de Bir-Hakeim). De nombreuses illustrations ornent également les planches : décors d'inspiration médiévale, armoiries, titres ornés, frises, personnages masculins ou féminins (en noir et blanc), une superbe grisette (encre et gouache). Au verso des planches, 7 portraits de personnalités réalisés à l'encre : Bougainville, Vernet, Charlet, Madame Roland, La Bruyère, Madame de Sévigné, P. de Ségur. Très intéressant ensemble, qui reflète une certaine diffusion sociale de la pratique photographique - au sein de l'élite bourgeoise - à la fin du XIXe siècle, en lien avec l'évolution des techniques, à la fois en ce qui concerne la prise de vue et les procédés de tirage. Equipés d'appareils d'utilisation de plus en plus aisée, de nombreux amateurs immortalisent alors les petits et grands moments de la vie de tous les jours, constituant albums de souvenirs et collections privées qui consacrent le rôle désormais essentiel de l'image dans la culture de la Belle Epoque. L'auteur de ces clichés, qui ne manquait ni d'humour ni de talent, a par ailleurs enrichi son travail artisanal d'autres éléments esthétiques : décors et ornements graphiques issus de l'univers du livre (imitant fleurons,bandeaux, culs-de-lampe, séparations de chapitres...), dessins "classiques" (paysages, portraits), inspirés du mouvement Art Nouveau ou influencés par la presse et l'affiche (typographie fantaisiste, caricatures,...).

Curioso librito manuscrito en el cual a modo de preguntas y respuestas se va explicando de una forma muy didáctica la filosofÃa en general. Posiblemente y dada la censura en esos momentos a causa de los movimientos revolucionarios en Francia se hacÃan copias manuscritas para el uso de los estudiantes y amantes del librepensamiento que inexorablemente se iba imponiendo poco a poco.
