179218551à Paris: Chez DesenneVollandPlassans 1792. Fine. Chez Desenne Volland Plassans à Paris 1792 12.50 x 20 cm relié First French edition. The original edition appeared in Geneva in 1791. Illustrated with 3 plates a frontispiece and two folding: a hemispheric map and an astrological one. Contemporary full marbled sheep binding. Smooth spine decorated. Red morocco title label. Upper headcap worn. Rubbing to joints and edges. Famous work by the philosopher Volney in which personal memories philosophy and reflections alternate. While the general subject is a questioning of the disappearance and ruin of empires Volney begins his book with a meditation on the collapse of Palmyra the work addresses multiple related themes: origins of religious cults symbolism worship of stars. The book excels through its lyrical style and allegories. Volney remembering Herodotus trusts as a historian only in facts and he interrogates the ruins so that they might reveal to him the ruin of an empire and a city. Chez DesenneVollandPlassans unknown

1807029967Paris: Chez Courcier 1807. Octavo. Fourth edition. In two volumes: Vol. I x 487 pages 1 p. advertisement and Vol. II 492 pages half-titles present in both volumes printed on laid paper with each map and image on very thick paper to enhance the preservation. The French academic philosophers of the late 18th century found that with advances in mathematics geodesy and field mapping previous works were limited for serious work. Comte de Volney 1757-1820 was a French orientalist whose study was impressive though he himself was not considered at the time a geographer. However modern geographers realize his work was closer to modern methods than his contemporaries see Anne Godlewska on Modern French Discipline of Geography p. 192-193. Originally published in 1787 this set produces not only the images of The Spinx the Pyramids of Giza Balbek and the Ruins of Palmyre but also the maps of Syria Egypt and of North Africa and the folding plan of the Temple of Balbet. Bound 1/4 red leather over red paper covered boards spine lettered and decorated in gilt all edges marbled with matching endpapers boards rubbed light wear to corners. A very good set.
