1689LTH1-E-10Cologne: Pierre Marteau 1689. Leather. Good Only. 9.5" by 7.5". None. A scarce and early collection of works discussing political issues surrounding restoration France and King Louis XIV. Written in French Written while the author was imprisoned the collection contains both parts one and two of L'Ambassadeur et ses Fonctions Reflaxions sur Les Memoires Pour Les Ambassadeurs et Rosponse Au Ministre Prisonnier and Discours Historique de L'election de L'Empereur et des Electeurs de L'Empire. Featuring illuminated capitals. Wicqufort was an intelligencer gazetteer and a diplomat of the second order who is remembered more for what he wrote than for his other accomplishments. Born in Holland Wicquefort nevertheless spent most of his diplomatic career in Paris. Here he served as resident of the Elector of Brandenburg-Prussia from 1626 until 1658 when having fallen foul of Mazarin he was first briefly imprisoned in the Bastille and then expelled. Invited to The Hague by John de Witt the Grand Pensionary of Holland Wicquefort was employed as a translator for the States General but chiefly as the Grand Pensionary's special secretary for French correspondence. In 1675 Wicquefort who had in the previous year also secured the appointment of resident in Holland of the Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg-Celle was accused by his enemies of selling state secrets. He was tried by the Court of Holland and despite his plea of diplomatic immunity imprisoned for life on the grounds that he remained a Dutch national in the paid service of its government to which he had taken an oath of secrecy. Sent like Grotius before him to the prison of Loevestein though he escaped to Celle in 1679 he devoted his time to furious writing. First published in the year before he died and subsequently reissued many times this became the most highly regarded manual of diplomacy of the eighteenth century. Disbound although with original rear board and backstrip. Generally firmly bound to the text block edge although with title page absent and the last few leaves detached yet present. Generally bright and clean although with the first page slightly age toned and with the odd spot throughout. Good Only Pierre Marteau hardcover
167734844à Paris: Chez Frédéric Léonard 1677. Fine. Chez Frédéric Léonard à Paris 1677 7.50 x 13.80 cm relié Edition with some parts in first edition rare much preferable to the 1676 original which contains only the first part; this one is therefore considerably expanded with major pieces. A frontispiece representing Saint Mark's Square in Venice. The 1677 edition contains 3 titles for each part plus an added title summarizing the whole; one will easily notice that these three parts are very rarely found together in libraries see Oxford Leeds. and that they most often appear separately. There were undoubtedly several editions at this date of 1677 of which only this one contains the three parts. Moreover this edition with the sphere would suggest that it was printed elsewhere; the third part bears Ratisbon as place of edition and Jean Aubry as publisher. This part contains the Harangue of Louis Helian Ambassador of France under Louis XII. Contemporary full glazed brown calf binding. Spine with raised bands unlettered decorated with blind roulettes on the headcaps and raised bands. Blind fillets on the boards. Good copy. More than a history of Venice this is a critical study of its institutions and laws. The book was very poorly received in Venice where it was burned diplomatic relations with France became embittered Amelot de la Houssaye was embassy secretary in Venice and the king of France was more or less forced to deliver the author to the Bastille for six days to satisfy Venice. The supplement studies and recounts the disputes that the Republic had with Pope Paul V. The third part of the book is a translation of a book by Fra Paolo. The Harangue of Louis Hélian was pronounced in 1510 before Emperor Maximilian it very sharply accuses the republic of Venice of numerous evils. Chez Frédéric Léonard hardcover
