In-8, broché sous coutures, (1) f. de titre, (2) p. d'Avis de l'éditeur, 86 p. Edition à la date de l'originale de ce célèbre récit de détention et d'évasion, augmentée de "Extrait du mémoire de M. de Comeyras" et d'une "Addition du mémoire". Le titre courant porte: "Mémoires du sieur Henri Masers de Latude, contenant les opérations qu'il a pratiquées pour se sauver une fois de la Bastille, & deux fois du donjon de Vincennes, avec la suite de ces événements". La rédaction du texte est attribuée, par Barbier, à Jean-Yrieix de Beaupoil marquis de Saint-Aulaire. Aventurier excentrique, Masers de Latude passa 35 années (1749-1784) en prison pour avoir adressé une machine infernale à la marquise de Pompadour. Il parvint à s'évader de La Bastille en 1766. Arrêté à Amsterdam, il fut emprisonné à Vincennes d'où il s'évada encore à deux reprises, mais fut chaque fois repris. Sa libération définitive n'intervint qu'en 1784. "Peu d’hommes ont pris dans l’imagination populaire une plus grande place. Le célèbre prisonnier semble avoir résumé dans sa vie de souffrances toutes les iniquités d’un gouvernement arbitraire" (F. Funck-Brentano). De fait cette brochure, qui eut un immense succès, contribua au climat d'agitation prérévolutionnaire. La Révolution fit de Latude un héros de la lutte contre l'arbitraire royal et l'Assemblée lui octroya une pension. Bon exemplaire, imprimé sur beau papier de Hollande, entièrement non rogné.

174446404203Amsterdam, Desbordes, 1744 ; 2 vol. in-12, veau fauve, dos ornés, tranches rouges. (Reliures de l’époque) Portrait gravé par Scotin, 12 ff. n. ch., 429 pp. (1 p.), 12 ff. de table - 2 ff., 501 pp., (1 p.), 11 ff.Traduction française d’une biographie parue en italien en 1692. On peut lire les biographies de Gregorio Leti de deux manières : en considérant Leti comme un historien et lui repprocher, comme le font toutes les anciennes bibliographies, son inexactitude, ou alors comme on lit un romancier et dans ce cas on est séduit par son goût pour le merveilleux. Leti (né à Milan en 1630) était un aventurier : jeunesse dissipée, liberté de mœurs, goût pour les voyages. Ses errances le conduisirent un jour à Genève où il se fit calviniste et publia des écrits stairiques contre Rome. Ce zèle de converti lui valut la protection des magistrats genevois qui lui offrirent en 1674 des lettres de bourgeoisie, une faveur qu’ils n’avaient jamais accordé à personne avant lui. Mais en 1679 il dut quitter Genève pour avoir publié des satires contre quelques familles de la ville. Après un bref séjour en France où les protestants étaient de nouveau inquiétés, il gagna l’Angleterre. Charles II l’accueillit avec bonté, lui offrit 1000 écus et lui parmit d’écrire une histoire d’Angleterre. Un fois de plus, l’ouvrage déplut à cause de certains traits satiriques. En 1682 Leti se réfugia à Amsterdam où il mourut en 1701.Bayle le présente comme un nouvel Arétin. On connaît surtout de Leti Le Putanisme de Rome, la continuation du Divorce céleste de Pallavicino et son roman sur les amours de Charles de Gonzague et de Marguerite de Rovère. Coins émoussés, petite fente à une charnière.
