Paris Lefèvre 1824. "Collection des Classiques François". Valuable 19th-century edition of La Bruyère's "Caractères" with the preliminary notes on the author and his work by L. S. Auger and J. Schweighaeuser which were first published in the 32mo edition of the previous year. La Bruyère's 1645-1696 work 1688 is a vivacious and lucid satirical description of the French aristocracy up to the end of the reign of King Louis XIV. Starting with a translation of Theophrast's "Characters" La Bruyère added more and more of his own critical observations with each edition thereby making numerous enemies. Nevertheless he was accepted as a member at the "Académie Française" in 1693. - Very slight brownig to the uncut margins.

Vorsätze m. reicher floraler Zierleiste u. marmoriertem Papier. Ein Band min. beschienen sehr schöne Exemplare. Nr. 91 von 100 numerierten Exemplaren auf Whatman-Papier. Das Portrait vom franz. Maler François Léopold Flameng 1856 -1923.Über den pariser Buchbinder Hardy ist leider wenig bekannt- Jean de La Bruyère 1645-1696 war ein französischer Schriftsteller. Der als Moralist zu den großen französischen Klassikern gerechnete Autor stammte aus einer bürgerlichen wohl erst seit kurzem in Paris ansässigen Familie und erhielt nach einem Jurastudium in Orléans 1665 die Zulassung als Anwalt am höchsten Pariser Gericht dem Parlement. 1671 beerbte er mit seinen drei jüngeren Geschwistern einen reichen Onkel und kaufte 1673 in Caen ein Amt in der Finanzverwaltung das ihn pro forma adelte ihm aber keine Präsenz vor Ort abverlangte. Er lebte vielmehr weiter als Rentier in Paris und dilettierte als Privatgelehrter.Als Randfigur im hochadeligen Milieu wurde er zu dessen scharfem Beobachter und bereicherte in der Folge die Theophrastschen „Charaktere“ um die Darstellung sozialer Typen der eigenen Zeit wobei er mit Vorliebe bestimmte adelige und pseudoadelige Verhaltensweisen aber auch allgemeine menschlich-allzumenschliche Schwächen Manien und Ticks aufs Korn nahm. 1688 ließ er ein Bändchen erscheinen mit dem Titel «Les Caractères de Théophraste traduits du grec avec les caractères ou les mœurs de ce siècle».Das Werk war dank seiner Thematik seiner Einteilung in kurze gut lesbare Abschnitte sowie seiner pointierten oft ironischen Formulierungen sofort ein Erfolg und La Bruyère erweiterte es von einer zur nächsten der neun Auflagen die rasch aufeinander folgten; die letzte kurz nach seinem Tod. In Paris zirkulierten bald auch Schlüssel die einzelne Figuren als Porträts bekannter Zeitgenossen zu identifizieren versuchten. 010 Paris, Librairie des Bibliophiles, 1872, 73 unknown

Eighth Enlarged Edition: the first complete edition of the text containing a total of 1120 characters 46 more than the previous edition. Also included here for the first time is La Bruyères discourse of admission to the lAcadémie Française in 1693 preceded by an apologetic preface. This is the second issue with corrected text and the added portrait of Theophrastus. La Bruyères scarcely veiled sarcastic portraits of his contemporaries brought him many readers and many enemies. "The short paragraphs of which his chapters consist are made up of maxims proper of criticisms literary and ethical and above all of the celebrated sketches of individuals baptized with names taken from the plays and romances of the time. These last are the great feature of the work and that which gave it its immediate if not its enduring popularity. They are wonderfully piquant extraordinarily life-like in a certain sense and must have given great pleasure or more frequently exquisite pain to the originals who were in many cases unmistakable and in most recognizable His abundant wit and his personal "malice" have done much to give him his rank in French literature but much must also be allowed to his purely literary merits. With Racine and Massillon he is probably the very best writer of what is somewhat arbitarily styled classical French." Encyc. Britann. 11th Edn. Brunet III 720. Cioranescu 37514.

168955700à Lyon: Chez Thomas Amaulry 1689. Fine. Chez Thomas Amaulry à Lyon 1689 9 x 15.50 cm relié Fourth edition partly first edition as it was significantly expanded. The first three similar to each other appeared during 1688. The fourth edition is therefore considered the second first edition. It appeared simultaneously at the Parisian publisher Etienne Michallet who had indeed shared his privilege with Amaulry since the first editions. Title page in red and black. Half vellum 19th-century binding with corners. Spine with raised bands decorated with roulettes. Brown shagreen title label. Upper joint split at tail for 8 cm. Small split in vellum at lower joint at head. Rubbing. This fourth edition is the first to have been completed it indeed contains 764 remarks against 420 in the first and those that followed. The writing of the Caractères begins in 1670 but it is only after 17 years of work that La Bruyère decides to publish the Caractères he is however so unsure of success that he gives precedence to his translation of Theophrastus's Characters in the first editions and it will be necessary to wait for the fifth for the work of the Caractères to assert itself before that of Theophrastus and for La Bruyère to finally sign the edition with his name.

169126268à Paris: Chez Etienne Michallet 1691. Fine. Chez Etienne Michallet à Paris 1691 9 x 16.50 cm relié Sixth edition with some parts in first edition. It contains 54 new remarks compared to previous editions. Contemporary full brown sheep binding. Decorated spine with raised bands. Red morocco title label. Rubbing. The last endpaper has been pasted down over the privilege. 3 wormholes on the spine. La Bruyère's Characters was a dynamic work constantly evolving. While the first edition emphasized the translation of Theophrastus's Characters editions from the fourth in 1689 onward would include numerous additions; thus the fourth edition the first to have been completed contains 764 remarks compared to 420 in the first the sixth that we offer will count 997 compared to the original 420. The sixth edition 1691 grants for the first time a privileged place to the Characters having his translation of Theophrastus printed in smaller type and explicitly signing his work: in remark 14 of the chapter ""De quelques usages"" he replaces ""Geoffroy D"" with ""Geoffroy de la Bruyère"" the alleged high-born ancestor of the author.
