52468Full black moroccan leather binding 12° duodecimo edition. Spine professionally restored. Some wear and scratches on the binding but still very decorative. One of the earliest edition of this famous work of De Voltaire.According to G. Barber there are 17 editions of Candide printed in 1759 all with the same title. After his breakup with Frederick II 1754 Voltaire set up house near Geneva where the Cramer brother became his primary printers. Hoping to make a profit on their first edition of each new work these booksellers sent copies throughout Europe; counterfeiters their began their work. This is most likely a pirate copy dated 1759.A fascinating item that speaks to the economics and competitiveness of the early modern book trade especially with respect to counterfeits and forgeries. When Voltaires <em>Candide</em> was first published in 1759 the work achieved immense popularity in Europe despite broad condemnation from secular and religious leaders. To profit from the frenzy surrounding the workand the anonymity of its author who had adopted the pseudonym Monsieur le docteur Ralph many pirate copies have been published. This is one of the same year as the original.NL Een van de vroegste edities gepubliceerd in 1759. Literair- filosofisch verhaal van Voltaire. Satire op de ideeën van de Duitse filosoof Leibniz wiens optimistische levensvisie door Dr. Pangloss wordt verwoord en door Voltaire genadeloos op de korrel wordt genomen.

177734951Genève Geneva: S. n. 1777. Fine. S. n. Genève Geneva 1777 12 x 20 cm relié Both rare first editions. Contemporary full mottled calf binding. Smooth spine with 4 tools. Red morocco title and volume labels. Triple fillet frame on covers. Small lack at head. Lack to upper joint at head. Upper joint cracked at foot. Light lack at foot. Rubbing. Gin's work is first a defense of monarchical power as the natural form of government against the theories of Montesquieu and those of Mably but beyond this starting postulate the whole is remarkable for its economic reflections Gin making agriculture and industry the pillars of economic health. The author strives through history and examples borrowed from various nations like China to prove his theories irrefutably. Voltaire's work is a skillful reflection on the relativity of laws and notably on their injustice. Voltaire examines each category of criminality theft crime heresy sorcerers. and the laws that have been established. One of Voltaire's last works animated by the ardor to convince his contemporaries of the urgency of reforming the laws. S. n. unknown

115135ABParis: Blaizot; 1927. 225 x 27 cm. 6 Bll. 176 S. 3 Bll. Halbfranzband in Maroquin. Pergamentüberzug mit goldener Spiralmusterprägung. Meistereinband von und gestempelt mit "René & Michel Kieffer". Sehr guter Zustand. Kurzroman von Voltaire in dem ein Nordamerikaner an der Küste der Bretagne landet und durch eine Verwechslung bei einem Prior und dessen Schwester aufgenommen wird. Durch seine Ehrlichkeit weil er "ganz naiv stets sagt was er denkt und tut was er will" nennt man ihn den Harmlosen; und da ihm die Kunst der Heuchelei fremd ist stehen ihm viele Enttäuschungen in der Adelsgesellschaft des franz. 18. Jhdts bevor. Voltaire erreicht es so die europäische Kultur in ihrem Zusammenstoß mit der unverbildeten Person des Harmlosen lächerlich und fragwürdig zu machen. siehe auch KLL. Eines von 350 num. Exemplaren auf Vélin-de-Rives-Bütten. Die Zeichungen und der Buchschmuck in diesem Band von Bernard Naudin 1876-1946 zählen zu seinen schönsten Arbeiten. 1927 unknown
