2 tomes reliés en un volume in-8, plein veau moucheté de l'époque, dos lisse orné de cloisons fleuronnées, pièce de titre de maroquin rouge, coupes et coiffes filetées, tranches rouges, xxxij, 206 p., frontispice et une planche de musique et (4), 227 p, 3 planches gravées hors-texte. Nouvelle édition, considérablement augmentée, de cette importante relation de voyage consacrée à la Corse, à l'Italie et à la Tunisie, composée en français. La première édition (1774) est une brochure de 142 pages. L'auteur, le comte Maximilian Joseph von Lamberg (1729-1792) avait été chambellan de Frédéric le Grand. Homme des Lumières, doté d'une culture encyclopédique, philosophique comme scientifique il était en relation avec les grands esprits européens de son temps, David Hume, d'Alembert, Voltaire, Haller, Casanova, Algarotti… En 1769, il quitta son poste pour effectuer un vaste périple de trois ans en Corse, en Italie et à Tunis, qu'il relate dans cet ouvrage. Une importante partie du premier volume est consacré à la Corse: "Récit de voyage peu de temps après l'annexion de l'île. Il raconte son voyage en bateau de Livourne à Bastia puis son séjour chez le comte de Marbeuf. Il fait un rappel de l'annexion et s'attarde sur le personnage de Pascal Paoli et son frère Clément. Il établit un tableau de la Corse et de ses habitants en 1774, évoque les richesses de l'île et les traits de caractère de sa population : la sobriété, le goût de la vengeance, les superstitions..." (Universita di Corsica, CNRS en ligne). Le second volume contient des mémoires sur des sujets scientifiques et économiques, mais aussi d'ésotérisme, ainsi qu'une correspondance. (Starace, 'Bibliografia della Corsica', 4328). Traces de restaurations à la reliure. Petit accroc de papier à la dernière page. Très bon exemplaire, très frais, relié à époque, grand de marges.

Couvertures brochées conservées. Exemplaire n° 57 (sur 2335) sur vélin d'Arches. "La vie de Casanova est un roman vécu. Ses Mémoires relatent les aventures à travers l'Europe du célèbre aventurier, tour à tour abbé, militaire, historien, antiquaire, homme de lettres, poète, violoniste, chimiste, magicien, espion, et même industriel. Nul doute que sans son amour effréné des aventures, son inclination invincible au libertinage, ses légèretés de conduite et sa hâblerie, souvent fine, du reste, et spirituelle, Casanova n’eût pu immortaliser un nom considéré dans l’histoire des sciences ou de la diplomatie."
