Slightly worn contemporary half calf spines with raised bands and with black and gilt labels marbled boards and edges. Five volumes small tear at head of volume four. From the library of Fredrik von Friesendorff with his bookplate. Thake HM-076. According to Thake this is the first pirated edition with a fake imprint and is probably printed in the French Provinces. It’s an edition without illustrations. First published in 1726 Vertot’s history on the Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem commonly known as the Knights Hospitaller and later Knights of Rhodes and Knights of Malta was a huge succes. It displays an heroic struggle between the Christians led by the frenchmen and the Infidels. The papacy however was treated with no respect and it was immidiately condemned by the Order of Malta and put on the Index in Rome of forbidden books in 1728. The fifth part contains a chapter with â€Discours sur l’Alcoran†pp 382-416. hardcover
1722025901London: for W. Taylor 1722. First Edition. Octavo. Volume I: 356 pages Volume 2: 243 pages. The rare study by the abbe De Vertot who challenged the ancient Breton legends which he said were based on later historians. The ancient legends of Merlin King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable are all challenged. Modern French historians from Michelet Thierry and Mignet have challened but never quite gotten beyond his insights into ancient Gaul and its history. These volumes printed in a small print run became scarce as early as 1816 when two rare booksellers noted they now had copies in their catalog. The 1910 Green auction had them. One of the most scarce of the early 18th century histories of Brittany. OCLC notes it was translated from the French but printed at Paris and in the same year distributed by W. Taylor a London publisher with a preface by John Henley to Sir Peter King the Chief Justice explaining the reason for this unique and to many a troubling book. Bound in full calf handsomely rebacked to style olive green leather label gilt corners worn through very early small bookplate without name. Very nice wide margined copy. for W. Taylor unknown books
