17782690eParis: chez Desnos 1778. 12mo 124 x 68 mm. 4 82 1 pp. Two parts continuously paginated. Engraved frontispiece engraved title letterpress title removed six engraved plates before lettering all with tissue guards; one woodcut vignette of a rose. Small repair to outer blank corner of frontispiece else a fine untrimmed copy. 19th-century green straight-grained morocco gilt sides with triple filt fillets framing a wavy double border with roses spine gilt with roses in compartments turn-ins gilt gilt edges by Dupré stamp-signed on front turn-in; later two-part blue morocco slipcase by Riviere slightly scuffed. Provenance: Sir David Lionel Salomons Broomhill Tunbridge Wells armorial bookplate; Carlo de Poortere bookplate.<br/><br/>Only Edition a special copy with the engravings avant la lettre of a literary almanac in two parts unusually dividing the contributors by sex with part 1 pp. 7-34 containing only poems by women and part 2 only by men. A table at the end of each part lists the authors. In the ladies' section are verses by the mother and daughter Mme and Mademoiselle Deshoulières ou Des Houlières Mlle de Scudery Mme de La Suze Mme de Liancourt and other seventeenth-century i.e. "classical" writers. The male contributors include a few more modern authors notably Voltaire whose 13 occasional verses most dedicated to individual women represent a lighter side of his oeuvre.<br/><br/>The unsigned engravings of scenes set in elegant interiors or pastoral settings show a wedding banquet; a couple engaged in a playful chase with Cupid seizing the woman's dress; Reason Athena with a lion being seduced by folly a female fool complete with rattle bells and crazy hat; a female Narcissus admiring herself in a pond; a courting scene with musical instruments; and a lady daydreaming alone in her bedchamber. Grand-Carteret tells us that these plates along with a seventh plate were also used in a different Desnos almanac Les Caprices de l'Amour et de Baccus printed there with expressive captions. The frontispiece shows the bust of a smiling Voltaire being crowned with stars by one of two attendant muses. Grand-Carteret inattentively suggested that the bust might portray Alexis Piron another contributor not noticing the lightly etched titles of two books held by the recumbent muse namely Charles XII and La Henriade both of course by Voltaire and referring to the poem on p. 41 "A Madame la Marquise de Boufflers en lui envoyant la Henriade & Charles XII."<br/><br/>The rose decor of the binding echoes the woodcut vignette of a rose printed at the end of the publisher's anonymous dedication to all ladies Mesdames. The copy was deliberately bound without the letterpress title; it also does not contain the always optional Tables of losses and wins at the gaming table announced in the subtitle. Copies apparently differed and the almanac may have been reissued periodically. Some copies include a section of music according to Grand-Carteret who dates the almanac to 1789 whereas Cohen-de Ricci dated it to 1781. Both their copies seem to have also lacked a letterpress title: OCLC locates only the BnF copy with the letterpress title dated 1778 it is digitized on Gallica but without the plates.<br/><br/>Bengesco Voltaire Bibliographie de ses Oeuvres IV: 2238; Cohen-de Ricci 37-38 7 or 8 plates; Grand-Carteret 611 7 plates. chez Desnos unknown books

'Tout ce que raconte Madame la Marquise de Caylus est vrai; on voit une femme qui parle avec candeur. Ses Souvenirs serviront surtout à faire oublier cette foule de misérables écrits sur la cour de Louis XIV dont l'Europe a été inondée par des auteurs faméliques qui n'avaient jamais connu ni cette cour ni Paris'. The second state issued the same year as the first of the lively memoirs of Marthe-Marguerite de Caylus 1673-1729 that provide a piquant account of the intrigues of the inner court of Louis XIV. The work was edited for publication by Voltaire who supplied the preface and contextual notes. The manuscript additions in this work are concerned with Voltaire's editorship of the text. .

3 voll. in 16 rilegati in 1, pp. 100; 29 + (1b). Legatura in p. pg. coeva. La prima opera, dal titolo 'La predicazione', e' la prima traduzione italiana, senza indicazione di luogo ed editore, ma solo della data (1779), di un'opera anonima attribuita a Voltaire uscita nel 1766 con il titolo 'De la predication par l'auteur du dictionnaire philosophique' e attribuita a Voltaire proprio per l'artificiosa indicazione inserita nel titolo di 'opera dell'autore del dizionario filosofico', espressione che scompare, invece, nella traduzione italiana. Anche la seconda, 'Il mondo come va'. Visione di Babouc' e' la prima e unica traduzione italiana di un racconto allegorico-filosofico di Voltaire 'Le monde comme il va, vision de Babouc', pubblicato nel 1748, e poi con titolo leggermente diverso nel 1749. Qui lo scrittore immagina che l'angelo Ituriele, uno degli spiriti che presiedono agli imperi del mondo, esasperato dalle follie e dagli eccessi dei Persiani, invii lo sciita Babouc a Persepoli perche' gli riferisca cosa accade e gli permetta di decidere se la citta' deve essere sterminata o rieducata. Babouc vede davanti a se' episodi di crudelta', licenziosita' e superstizione ma anche esempi di coraggio, saggezza e generosita' da parte degli uomini. Ituriel decide allora di lasciare che 'il mondo vada come vada' poiche', anche se non tutto va bene, tutto e' pur sempre passabile. Di queste due opere si fa riferimento in Bloch e Mckenna in 'L'identification du texte clandestin aux XVII et XVIII siecle', 1999, p. 253, nota 50. In particolare, secondo gli Aa., 'La predicazione' sarebbe stata stampata a Siena, presso Francesco Rossi, come si evince dal 'Catalogo de' libri stampati e che si vanno stampando... da Francesco Rossi...' che fa riferimento, per l'appunto, a questa edizione. Entrambi i testi, 'La predicazione' e 'La visione di Babouc' compaiono inoltre elencati nel catalogo del 1785 del libraio napoletano Porcelli (con l'attribuzione di La predicazione a Voltaire). Mentre un esemplare di 'La predicazione' e' presente nella Biblioteca Comunale degli Intronati di Siena, aggiungono gli Aa. che nessuna traduzione di il Monde comme va, sconosciuto alle bibliografie, e' stato finora rintracciato.

1733694L47Amsterdam: Jaques Desbordes 1733. Paperback. Very Good Indeed. 7.5" by 5". None. A very scarce early edition of this important attack by Voltaire on contemporary taste in art and literature. Published the same year as the first which was issued in Rouen by Jore in 1733. Voltaire's bibliographer Bengesco refers to the further 1733 printings as 'premieres editions'. This edition is noted as a later in 1733 due to the title page bearing Voltaire's name with Crebillon's approbation dated 1733 to the final leaf. Bengesco n.602 p.162. In the original French. With a bright red and black title page featuring a detailed engraving. This edition was published by Jaques Desbordes of Amsterdam. 'Le Temple du Gout' was published without official permission from the censors and is a scathing satirical attack on contemporary taste in art and literature. Voltaire was the nom de plume of Francois-Marie Arouet. He was a French Enlightenment writer historian and philosopher. He was famous for his wit and staunch criticism of Christianity. Disbound. Externally very bright with just a small chip to the fore edge. Small mark to the head of title page. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright with just the odd spots to pages.
