Invented by the printer-publisher and typefounder Jean-Jacques Estienne Collombat 1668-1744 the Calendrier de la Cour became a familiar fixture of court life.

This one sports a typical plaque binding commissioned by the publishers. Cf. Grand-Carteret Les Almanachs Français 92 and p. xli. Jacques Collombat unknown books

18012688lParis: chez Janet 1801. <p>24mo binding size 95 x 63 mm. Nested quires composed from the outside in of: a  fold-out letterpress Gregorian calendar in columns with woodcut vignettes engraved title with stub 6-leaf engraved Republican calendar 24 pages engraved text interleaved with 12 engraved plates 6 bifolia and 24 pp. letterpress text a quire of 12 leaves signed A. Embroidered binding of ivory silk covers with metallic ribbon border enclosing oval cartouche of leafy branches alternating with roundels of sequin and purl enclosing on upper cover a bow arrow and quiver with flowering sprig and on lower cover a flowering plant both embroidered in variously colored threads and sequins; pink satin liners gilt edges. Losses to metallic borders and to some threads of cover designs. Bookplate of Carlo de Poortere.<br /><br />A charming almanac with 12 engravings and in an embroidered binding unknown to Grand-Carteret. This is a typical production of Pierre-Etienne Janet who in 1789 acquired the shop and bindery of his father-in-law Pierre Jubert relieur-doreur and path-breaking almanac publisher. In around 1790 Janet set up shop in the rue St. Jacques and began systematically publishing almanacs most with 12 plates. As usual for the Jubert and early Janet almanacs this little book was built up from "nested quires." In a formula that both repeated often the fold-out letterpress traditional calendar folds around the outside; next is the engraved title with conjugate stub then a 6-leaf unsigned letterpress quire with the Republican calendar for l'An IX starting with Vendémiaire Sept. 1800 which encloses 12 bifolia i.e. 24 leaves of engraved text and illustrations in which each text bifolium alternates with an illustrated bifolium. The illustrated bifolia are printed on one side only; thus 6 plates that appear before the fold are all printed on the versos while the 6 plates following the fold are on the rectos. At the center of all is an unpaginated 12-leaf letterpress quire signed "A" containing lyrics for songs titled "Ariettes nouvelles."<br /><br />Not in Grand-Carteret.

18232966Argau Switzerland: Jakob Diebold 1823. Very Good. 4to. 48 pp. Pictorial wrappers stitched as issued. Tables printed in black & red lower page corners folded some moderate edge wear a bit of foxing or staining. Well worn but generally very good with a few small tears along edges. An extremely scarce 1824 provincial Swiss Almanac well illustrated with curious woodcuts including an elaborate title-page border in the neo-classical style back cover depiction of the slaughter of the Greek patriarch a double-page fold-out plate of a castle in Baden small dirt stain at top and twelve emblematic woodcuts depicting astrological attributes of each month. Owing to the fact that only one other copy seems to have survived it is not surprising that we have been unable to locate reproductions of any of these woodcuts published elsewhere. The title-page woodcut appears to have been signed in the border the artist / engraved "Z. Morman." Several of the woodcut zodiac symbols are signed "Z."<br/><br/>Jakob Diebold a bookbinder took over the publication of this Haus-Kalender a.k.a. the Swiss "Baden Kalendar" from Heinrich Joseph Keiser sometime after 1808 during which time he ran both the bindery and the Baldinger printing press. Sales of the almanac under Diebold greatly improved largely due to the improving economic and intellectual conditions of Baden. This calendar contains a "Directory of school books children's writings and writing materials which are available from B.J. Diebold book printers and bookbinders in Baden." The almanac includes a report on the New Year i.e. 1824 a directory and covers a range of topics including chronology astronomy astrology and herbal medicine.<br/><br/>The ZB Zurich has scattered holdings of Diebold's publication namely: 1811-1812; 1819-1821; 1824 the present year 1825-1826; 1831; 1837; 1846. The Landesmuseum has three unrelated issues 1817-1819. Jakob Diebold unknown books
