Scrutinio del libro eloges de M. de Voltaire par differens auteurs.

1779ABC_50392Venice 1779. 8vo. Presso Modesto Fenzo Later gold-tooled brown morocco with the title lettered in gold on the spine gold-tooled board edges and turn-ins gilt edges marbled endpapers. With a woodcut illustration on the title page and 1 woodcut initial. 96 pp. Rare first edition of Giacomo Casanovas 1725-1798 sharply polemical booklet dedicated to Doge Paolo Renier 1710-1789 and written in the summer of 1779 while he was convalescing in Abano. Published the year after Voltaires 1694-1778 death the work critiques the celebrated French writer with a mixture of fascination and bitterness. Following point by point the traditional praises read to the French Academy by Voltaires successor Jean-François Ducis 1733-1816 and the Abbot of Radonvilliers 1709-1789 Casanova counters each with such intensity that the effect is often the opposite of praise.The Scrutinio reveals Casanovas complex relationship with Voltaire. Initially captivated by the French philosopher Casanovas admiration evolved into gradual disillusionment after his visits to Les Délices in 1760-61 culminating in the more aggressive critiques of the Confutazione in 1769. On his return to Venice in 1774 possibly acting on behalf of the Inquisitors Casanova openly criticised Voltaires works condemning them as impious morally unsound and even objecting to the way Voltaire had altered his name to include a noble particle. In his Mémoires Casanova reflected on this period with some regret acknowledging that for ten years he had been compelled to critique everything Voltaire produced although he still considered his criticisms justified.The text also provides personal insights into Casanovas life. During his visits to Voltaire in July 1760 he engaged in lively literary discussions including readings from Ludovico Ariostos 1474-1533 Orlando Furioso which he recalled as some of the happiest moments of his life. Although Voltaire was sometimes dismissive of him their exchanges reveal the depth of Casanovas engagement with literature and philosophy. They disagreed sharply on religion: Voltaire regarded it as mere superstition while Casanova maintained that a society without religion could not be happy as people need moral structure even if philosophers resist obedience.Nearly twenty years later while writing the Scrutinio in Abano Casanova reiterated this perspective. The work also presents a slightly different account of his 1760 visit to Les Délices including the episode of Merlin Coccai offering valuable documentary evidence that these meetings actually took place.With a black oval library stamp on the title page G.

One of the rare first two Italian editions possibly by the same printer priority uncertain of a diplomatic pamphlet by Giacomo Casanova 1725-1798 famous for his romantic adventures. The work first appeared in French in 1785 with both Italian editions following the same year; Casanova likely translated it himself to publicise the affair and his own role in Venetian political circles.Casanova began his propaganda about the affair with Lettre historico-critique sur un fait connu dependent dúne cause peu connue Dessau 1784 then wrote the "much more extended" Rives Childs present pamphlet in 1785 but it is not clear whether it was published in Vienna or Venice. The French edition appeared under the title: Exposition raisonée du différent qui subsiste entre les deux républiques de Venise et d'Holland. There are two different 1785 Italian editions using much of the same printing materials Rives Childs says the text "appears to be identical" but with different collations: the present A-C8 D12 = 6 ll. LXX 2 blank pp. and the other A-C8 D6 = 30 ll. LX pp. but some catalogues do not distinguish them. Later the same year Casanova also wrote and published a Supplément.The spine is somewhat discoloured a pen marking on the back wrapper. The leaves are slightly creased.

On me dira qu'un livre qui alarme la vertu est mauvais. J'avoue que ceux dont la vertu préférée est la chasteté doivent s'abstenir de me lire. ".L'influence de l'ouvrage s'étend outremer. Un article publié dans la North American Review datée de 1835 est consacré aux Mémoires de Casanova : " It presents a curious and not uninstructive picture of the state of society in Europe at the period immediately preceding the French Revolution ".L'auteur de l'article évoque l'arrestation de l'auteur par l'Inquisition pour en faire un élément de comparaison entre les politiques européenne et américaine " The constant repetition of similar cases of the violation of private right by the old governments of Europe was among the causes that operated most strongly in bringing on the revolutionary movements of the last century. We are not blind to the inconveniences abuses and dangers of our political system but it gives us a permanent national peace instead of the wars that constantly desolate Europe ". The North American Review xli p.46-69.En 1834 l'ouvrage est mis à l'index des livres interdits." Vendus au grand jour ou sous le manteau les Mémoires firent un tapage d'enfer et partout l'on en parla soit pour douter de leur authenticité soit pour discuter la véracité des confessions amoureuses du Vénitien soit pour s'en inspirer dans les milieux romantiques Balzac Théophile Gautier Gorge Sand Roger de Beauvoir Eugène Sue avant Émile Zola et Pierre Louys puisèrent au gré de leur imagination dans le vaste réservoir d'aventures que Casanova mettait à leur disposition.C'est surtout à la suite de la " grande guerre " que le prix de n'importe quelle uvre de Jacques Casanova devint inabordable et chimérique. L'édition Brockhaus oscillait par exemple entre 99 francs reliée vente P.-A. Chéramy et 405 francs brochée même vente vacation du lundi 21 avril 1913. En 1917 la vente J. P. Bosse expert cette édition en demi-reliure basane tranches jaspées trouvait acquéreur à 295 francs.N'espérez pas désormais obtenir un exemplaire moins d'un billet de mille ou de 1 500 francs quand l'occasion se présentera si elle se présente !. " J. Pollio.Le dernier exemplaire référencé sur le marché français relié en demi veau postérieur avec rousseurs fut vendu 75 000 Francs en mai 1996." La plus grande acquisition patrimoniale " de la Bibliothèque nationale de France a été finalisée le 18 février 2010. Le Ministre de la Culture Frédéric Mitterrand a signé l'acte qui fait officiellement entrer à la B.n.F. les manuscrits des Mémoires de Casanova ; il s'agit d'un manuscrit de 3 700 pages non reliées déclaré " bien d'intérêt patrimonial majeur ". L'objet excitait la convoitise des grandes bibliothèques et des collectionneurs du monde entier depuis les années 1960.Giacomo Girolano Casanova tour à tour financier diplomate escroc joueur mais toujours intellectuel éclairé à sa manière entame la rédaction de ses mémoires dans un français parsemé de ratures et d'italianismes aux alentours de 1789. Autant dire " au crépuscule de son existence comme au crépuscule du siècle " agité par les " tourments révolutionnaires " a signalé le ministre de la Culture. Il aura fallu trois ans et l'intervention d'un généreux mécène du milieu de la finance ayant déboursé près de 7 millions d'euros pour finaliser cette acquisition exceptionnelle.Lors de la cérémonie le ministre de la Culture a rendu hommage à " l'un des grands auteurs de la littérature française du XVIIIe siècle " et à sa " liberté de ton et de propos qui se nourrit d'une vraie liberté de conduite ".Précieux exemplaire pur et sans rousseur de la plus extrême rareté en pleine reliure décorée de l'époque.

The original French manuscripts were acquired in 1821 by the German publisher Friedrich Arnold Brockhaus 1772-1823 who first published an expurgated German translation prepared by Willem von Schütz 1776-1847 between 1822 and 1828. Its success prompted a French retranslation from the German by Victor Tournachon 1771-1837 published in 14 volumes between 1825 and 1828.The Brockhaus firm subsequently undertook a French-language edition based on the original manuscripts revised and rewritten by Jean Laforgue 1782-1852. The first four volumes appeared in 1826-1827 but publication was then delayed by censorship with the next four volumes published in 1832 and the final four only in 1838.During these delays the Parisian publisher Paulin published a rival edition. After reprinting the first eight Laforgue volumes in 1833 he commissioned Philippe Busoni 1804-1883 to complete the work. Their two concluding volumes published in 1837 contain material not found in the Laforgue text and may derive from a free combination of the Schütz translation and earlier French adaptations. The 9th volume bore the imprint Paulin Libraire-Éditeur Rue de Seine 33. 1837 and the tenth volume Chez E.-B. Delanchy Imprimeur Rue du Faubourg-Montmartre 11. 1837.The Mémoires are celebrated not only as an extraordinary autobiography but also as a rich historical and cultural record of 18th-century Europe. Casanova recounts his travels amorous adventures encounters with royalty intellectuals and artists as well as his experiences in prisons courts and salons. The work combines vivid storytelling with keen observation offering a unique window into the social political and cultural life of the Enlightenment. This edition as the first complete French version preserves the full scope of Casanovas narrative and remains a cornerstone for both literary and historical study.Volume 10 bears a pencil ownership inscription on the verso of the second flyleaf reading Monsuur Dehor a modern manuscript volume number label mounted on the front pastedown of each volume The upper spines of volumes 1 and 5 are slightly rubbed brown stains on some of the boards.

No. 371 of 450 printed on papier vergé d’Arches but this a rare hand-coloured copy. 33 engravings by Sylvain Sauvage engraved in collaboration with Emile-Henri Feltesse including an engraving on each wrapper all expertly hand-coloured in gouache. Tall thin 8vo. loose in the original wrappers each volume with its own maroon cloth backed chemise and both in the matching maroon cloth edged slipcase. Slipcase and chemises with a little wear or rubbing at edges a little darkening to the wrappers but otherwise very good.Sylvain Sauvage 1888-1948 whose real name was Felix Roy was an illustrator and engraver who published his own artist’s books with the imprint of his home in Paris as well as creating illustrations for other publishers. Sauvage had originally intended to produce illustrations to the whole of the memoirs of Casanova but the task was too great so he settled on the erotic story of Casanova and the Nun of Murano - hence it being a singular adventure. His first version was a large paper edition of 75 copies being a portfolio of 20 full page plates and 13 smaller ones which was published in 1920 and quickly sold. In 1924 he produced another portfolio containing 50 watercolours illustrating Casanova’s memoirs. Eventually in 1926 this two volume edition as the first in ‘La rose mal defendue’ The Poorly Protected Rose series. The illustrations included all the original plates in their black and white version. A very few hand-coloured copies exist as here thought to have been coloured by Sauvage for special clients. These have certainly been done by a professional sensitive hand. Carteret IV 92 An expertly hand-coloured copy possibly by Sauvage himself Chez l’artiste, 16, rue Cassini hardcover

Casanova's exploits beautifully illustrated First edition thus first printing number 226 of 414 copies printed on velin d'arches paper of a total print run of 500. The text is extracted from Casanova's memoirs describing his relationship with "M.M." a nun from the convent at Murano. This edition is beautifully illustrated by Gerda Wegener likely using her wife Lili Elbe as a model. Gerda Wegener 1886-1940 was a Danish artist working in art deco and art nouveau styles known for her eroticized depictions of women her pioneering reconsideration of the female gaze in portraiture and her stunningly decadent backgrounds which are well-exemplified here. In 1925 Wegener represented France at the world exhibition in Paris where she was awarded two gold and one bronze medals. Wegener was married to fellow artist Lili Elbe having met at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. The two lived in Paris from 1912 where Elbe was one of Wegener's most frequent models. Elbe is also known for being one of the first documented recipients of gender affirming surgery and as the subject of the novel The Danish Girl by David Ebershoff and 2015 film of the same name. 2 vols quarto. Text in French. With 8 full-page colour etchings by Andre Lambert after Wegener's watercolours with tissue guards and wood engraved headpieces initials and vignettes by G. Aubert printed in sepia after her designs. Original plain paper wrappers titles to spines and front covers in black and red edges untrimmed. With the original glassine wrappers.
