1773421Londres Genève: Published by S. l. 1773. later. 8vo viii 352 pp later crimson Morrocco and marbled boards raised bands spine gilt lettering and small ornaments in compartments very good minor dust soiling and wear with mild scuffing along joints and edges t. e. g. marbled endpapers untrimmed with 21 b/w copperplates in style of Eisen each page framed in engraved boarder. A second-rate satire by Voltaire on the life of Joan of Arc. It is richly illustrated with 21 plates 'in the style of Eisen'. Book catalogue notes tipped into the front state this is 'the rare edition with the 21st Canto omitted from most editions. This issue is famous too for the series of 21 exquisite copper-plate engravings.' Brady could find nothing to substantiate the claim that the 21st Canto was rare. 'First published in 1755 it is a base libel on religion and history.Nevertheless. it is amusing.' Very Good copy. $500 Published by S. l. hardcover
17755953Geneva: Cramer et Bardin 1775. Edition encadré" volume 11. Octavo 21 cm; 420 pages portrait frontispiece by Martinet and 21 engraved plates. Text within typographic borders. Bound in contemporary etched leather scored in gilt. Spine decorated in gilt with leather labels. Marbled endpapers. Boards somewhjat splayed. Negligible loss at head and tail. Hinges starting. Upper joint reinforced. Contents clean. <br />References: Cohen-De Ricci 1042; Bengescu Voltaire IV #2141 <br /><br />Volume 11 only of the 40-volume "edition encadré" published in 1775 by Cramer et Bardin the last edition of Voltaire's works published under the author's supervision. Then as now La Pucelle d'Orleans was Voltaire's most consumed work so it is not surprising to find this volume detached from the its 39 companions. Voltaire's greatest poem but not the one you read in school. With Ariosto in mind Voltaire rewrote the Joan of Arc story with all the wit and critical distance of an 18th-century libertine. The result is that France's sainted woman warrior becomes the vehicle for an intelligent and licentious burlesque. Good and right-thinking people have always found it offensive but it doesn't really care. Nice binding charming illustrations. [Cramer et Bardin] hardcover
