1871FGN24-C-2Bruxelles: J Rozez 1871. Leather. Good. 7.5" by 5". None. The intriguing memoirs of Italian adventurer and author Giacomo Girolamo Casanova the original French edition complete in eight volumes. The intriguing memoirs of Italian adventurer and author Giacomo Girolamo Casanova. No collation available though appears complete in six volumes. In original French. Casanova's autobiography is considered one of the most authentic sources of the customs and norms of European social life during the 18th Century. He signed his works as Jacques Casanova De Seingalt upon his exile from Venice and when he began writing in French. His fame lies mostly in his complicated and elaborate affairs with women and his name has become synonymous with 'womanizer'. He associated with many distinguished figures such as royalty popes cardinals as well as Voltaire Goethe and Mozart. Casanova wrote his memoirs during the last years of his life as a result of his isolation and boredom due to his exile. He wrote that his memoirs were 'the only remedy' to keeping him sane. After years of work Casanova almost did not publish his memoir as he feared it would make him enemies from writing the truth about his affairs. He then chose to proceed by writing initials instead of actual names. The decision to write the memoirs in French rather than his native tongue of Italian was due to the fact French was more widely spoken at that time. In half calf bindings. Externally smart with some rubbing to boards and extremities. Light rubbing to spines particularly to the head and tail. Front joint to volume I weak. Front hinge to volume I slightly strained but firm. The front hinge to volume V is slightly strained but firm. Internally volumes I II III and V are generally firmly bound though strained in places. Volumes IV and VI are firmly bound. Spotting to the first and last few pages of each volume otherwise generally clean throughout. Amateur repair to last few pages of volumes III and V due to worm damage. Affects text to a minor extent. Good J Rozez hardcover
1880ABC_50292Paris: Garnier frères 1880. Contemporary gold-tooled half morocco by Lambert marbled paper sides the title author and volume number lettered in gold on the spine surrounded by a gold-tooled frame with onlaid morocco ornaments top edge gilt marbled endpapers. 8vo. With 145 full-page engravings the wrappers and titles of each volume are printed in red and black. 8 volumes. Rare luxury issue of the most accomplished Parisian edition beautifully bound by the Parisian bookbinding atelier Lambert with the original wrappers included. The luxury issue printed on Holland paper was limited to a 100 numbered copies of which this is number 26 and is further distinguished by its wide margins and exceptional and unique illustrations. It has been enriched with 145 full-page copper engravings comprising plates after Jules-Adolphe Chauvet 1828-1898 engraved in 1875 by Henry Barraud 1811-1874 together with plates after Jules Nisle engraved by Adolph Gnauth 1840-1884. Some of these engravings long admired and occasionally criticised for their frankness were conceived not merely to titillate but to document with remarkable care the costumes interiors furnishings and social rituals of mid-18th-century Europe.Giacomo Casanova's 1725-1798 Mémoires remain one of the great autobiographical monuments of European literature. Beyond the famous amorous adventures the work offers vivid accounts of travel intellectual life imprisonment gambling music diplomacy and survival at the courts and salons of the Enlightenment. Written with candour wit and astonishing narrative energy Casanova reveals both his triumphs and his failings producing not only a personal confession but an unparalleled cultural record of 18th-century Europe.The present edition is the first Garnier frères edition of Casanova's Mémoires following the establishment of the complete French text earlier in the century. While not a first edition in the strict bibliographical sense it is widely regarded as the most accomplished Parisian edition of the work. It follows the Jean Laforgue 1782-1852 text derived from Casanovas original manuscripts acquired by Friedrich Arnold Brockhaus 1772-1823 in 1821 with a small number of additions traceable to the Jean-Baptiste-Alexandre Paulin 1796-1859 continuation of 1837. Garniers aim explicitly stated in the preliminary notice was to unite accuracy completeness and elegance in a single edition correcting the shortcomings of earlier editions including the Leipzig twelve-volume edition which lacked an index.The present Garnier edition includes extensive appendices among them extracts from the writings of the Prince de Ligne 1735-1814 on Casanova 21 letters from Casanova to Faulkircher Johann Ferdinand Opiz 1741-1812 passages from Histoire de ma fuite and extracts from the memoirs of Lorenzo Da Ponte 1749-1838. Garnier himself claimed that this edition united all the conditions which should make it superior to those preceding.With the stamp of the bookbinder on the verso of the first free flyleaf of every volume the work has been bound with the original wrappers with the original spine included separately in the back. The spine of the first three volumes is slightly rubbed the front of the first volume is broken. The fore edge and foot edge are uncut minor foxing to the margins of some of the leaves and plates attributable to the paper quality used for these engravings. Otherwise in very good condition.l Gay-Lemonnyer vol III 121; Rives Child no. 45 pp. 147-148. Garnier frères, unknown
1833ABC_50290Paris 1833. 8vo. Paulin Contemporary gold-tooled quarter calf with the title author and volume number lettered in gold on the spine marbled paper boards green marbled endpapers brown sprinkled edges. The set is housed in two blue marbled paper slipcases. 10 volumes. 4 427 3; 4 422 2; 4 432 4 480; 4 455 1 blank; 4 468; 4 475 1; 4 455 1 blank 4 426; 4 394 pp. First complete French edition of Giacomo Casanova's 1725-1798 Mémoires comprising 10 volumes. 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. The leaves are somewhat foxed p. 455 of volume 5 has been reinforced pp. 82-88 of volume 6 show some brown staining consistent with the quality of the paper.
