8vo. IV, 224 pp. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards. Very rare sole edition of this defense of the newly-reformed Compagnie des Indes and its commercial activities in the Far East, apparently written by a shareholder, with chapters ranging from West Africa to the Arabian Gulf, India, China, Japan, and even Australia (cf. Ferguson). Spectacularly unsuccessful compared to its European rivals, the French East India Company was suppressed in 1769 but a new charter was granted in 1785 to a "Nouvelle Compagnie des Indes". The avant-propos identifies the anonymous author as an "investor, not a speculator" in this newly-founded Compagnie, and aside from his observations on commercial trade with each nation, he also offers broad arguments supporting the monopoly of the Compagnie and even state-sponsored aid for its activities. The French Revolution brought a swift end to the Compagnie in 1790, and its liquidation in 1793 caused a scandal which involved many deputies of the revolutionary government. - In the author's chapter concerning the west coast of Africa, we find a typically pragmatic Enlightenment approach to the atrocities of slavery: "At the present moment, the slave trade on this coast is a very interesting object for our commerce, due to the abundance and the cheapness of these unfortunate victims of the barbarism of these climes, the need for them in our Ile de France [Mauritius] & Bourbon [Réunion] for the development of agriculture, and due to the ease of selling the excess slaves beyond the needs of those two islands to our colonies of America, & even to those of the Spanish. They [the Spanish] have been forced to depend on the English to provide them with blacks. We could enjoy a preferential treatment [...]". - Again on pp. 22f., in a discussion of Madagascar, he makes his position clear: "The slave trade requires a great deal of caution in its conduct, so as not to alienate the goodwill of the natives. If we buy the prisoners taken in wars from the small nations that share control of this island; and if the advantage of fetching a price from the sale of these unfortunate prisoners spares them the cruel death to which, without this resource, the barbarian victors would subject them, then the expectation of fetching a price from [their sale] need not ever be the cause of war between these small nations [...]". - Elsewhere the author discusses trade with Japan (p. 133), the Philippines (pp. 121f.); China (pp. 134-139); Macao (pp. 140f.), and even Australia ('Nouvelle Hollande", pp. 142-146: "dans nul pays de la terre les hommes ne sont moins avancés en civilization [...]"). - Spine extremely worn and rubbed, but holding perfectly; contents clean and fresh. Very rare: OCLC shows three US copies at Harvard, the Cleveland Public Library, and Minnesota. No copies are recorded at Anglo-American auctions. Goldsmiths'/Kress 13332.3. Ferguson IV, 466 ("pp.142-6 contains a description of New Holland, and of the sailing of the First Fleet").

Paperback, Pages: 334 p., Size:165 x 250 mm, Illustrations:25 tables b/w, Language(s):French, Latin. ISBN 9782851213181. Avitus of Vienne is the author of the five poetic books of the Spiritual History celebrating the importance of Christ in baptismal catechesis by the glorification of the patriarchs Adam, Noah and Moses. Catholic bishop belonging to the Gallo-Roman aristocracy, Avitus is a man of great classical learning. The present study examines Avitus? poetic style, by combining a narratological approach with the methods of traditional philology. This analysis highlights the importance of the two auctorial voices constructing the poem: the voice of the bishop, formed by the practice of the liturgy of the Word, and the voice of the poet, steeped in rhetoric and paying tribute to classical poetics. These crossing voices produce a poem accessible to a large audience, whether contemporary or posterior to the 6th century ? we know that the poem has enjoyed a wide circulation during the Middle Ages. Secondly, the analysis focuses on the construction of the poetic narrative, explores the adaptation of the epic codes to the transmission of the Christian faith and emphasizes Avitus? debt to the Latin epic poets. Finally, the stylistic and metrical study proves the perfect mastery he has of the hexameter. Avit de Vienne est l?auteur des cinq chants de l?Histoire spirituelle, qui célèbre l?importance du Christ dans la catéchèse baptismale, par la glorification des patriarches Adam, Noé et Moïse. Évêque catholique appartenant à l?aristocratie gallo-romaine, Avit est un lettré d?une grande culture latine. La présente étude examine son écriture poétique au moyen d?une approche narratologique croisée avec les méthodes de la philologie traditionnelle. Il en ressort l?importance des deux voix auctoriales construisant le poème : la voix de l?évêque, formé par la pratique de la liturgie de la Parole, et celle du poète, pétri de rhétorique et rendant hommage à la poétique classique. Ce mélange des voix auctoriales produit un poème accessible à un large public, contemporain mais aussi postérieur au VIe s. ? le poème connaîtra une grande diffusion au Moyen Âge. L?analyse proposée permet de saisir la construction du récit poétique, de montrer l?adaptation des codes épiques à la t ransmission de la foi chrétienne et de souligner la dette d?Avit envers les poètes épiques latins. Enfin, l?étude stylistique et métrique prouve la parfaite maîtrise de l?hexamètre de la part du poète chrétien.

br. Finora i ricercatori si sono limitati a riservare alla fine di Émile Chanoux poche righe o qualche pagina, mentre i dubbi sulla sua morte, mai chiariti, meritavano almeno lo spazio di un libro. La riflessione offerta da questa ricerca può sembrare una sfida, ma gli autori hanno semplicemente cercato di affrontare con rigore storiografico la vicenda della morte di questo testimone. Egli non fu ucciso in combattimento, non fu condannato a morte e tanto meno fucilato, come tanti martiri della Resistenza: Chanoux testimoniò la sua fedeltà alla Resistenza con un combattimento morale e fisico nel contempo, resistendo fino a quella morte che gli fu atrocemente riservata. Infatti questo lavoro dimostra che Chanoux non si è ucciso, ma è stato ucciso. Questo è l'esito delle nuove acquisizioni ottenute grazie alla rilettura dei documenti, agli approfondimenti forniti dalla scienza medico-legale e all'esame fotografico.

4to (199 x 243 mm). XXXII, 462, (2) pp. Contemporary auburn calf (covers sympathetically restored). Marbled endpapers. First (and only) edition of this early grammar of Ottoman Turkish, the fourth book known to have been printed at the French embassy press at Constantinople established by Choiseul-Gouffier in 1787. The Arabic types were supplied from Basel. The oriental scholar Viguier (1745-1821), who was apostolic prefect and resident at Constantinople from 1783 to 1802, was the first to distinguish in Turkish the exclusive use of either guttural or palatal vowels within a single word. His grammar is printed with the Turkish transliterated, although some sentences are printed in Ottoman script together with their transliteration. - The books printed at the embassy press were "mostly military or scientific and included Turkish translations of Fitte-Clave's 'Elémens de castramentation' and Truguet's 'Tactique navale'. Choiseul-Gouffier was keen to see printing re-established in Turkey, and there may well have been some degree of co-operation between his press and the refounding under Abdul Hamid I of the Turkish press (first established by Ibrahim Müteferrika), which led to the printing of Vauban's work on mines, the 'Fenn-i Lagim'. The press was mostly used for the production of materials used by the embassy" (Atabey). The subscribers included mostly merchants resident in Turkey, although some names from Smyrna and Saloniki are also to be found, as are various missionaries, the English ambassador Ainslie, Count Ludolf, ambassador of the King of the Two Sicilies, and Pierre Guys, author of "Voyage littéraire de la Grèce". - Light browning as common; upper corner of the final errata leaf torn away without loss and professionally remargined. Rebound to style retaining the original, beautifully gilt-stamped spine with sympathetic full calf covers and marbled endpapers. Atabey 1290. Blackmer 1732. Brill, Turcica, 13. Chahine 5025.
