Bruxelles, Société Belge de Librairie, etc.(Hauman, Cattoir et Comp.ie), 1837, in-16, graziosa legatura coeva in mezza pelle, tassello scuro con titolo e fregi oro al dorso, piatti marmorizzati, pp. 294. Vignetta al frontespizio. Ottime condizioni, salvo qualche fioritura. Edizione pirata apparsa in Belgio un anno prima della 1a edizione autorizzata (Paris, Werdet, 1838); nel 1844 riedita da Furne col titolo "Les Employés, ou la femme supériere" nella serie "Scènes de la vie parisienne" della Comédie Humaine; dal 1845 in poi appare come "Les Employés". Il Belgio è stato per motivi linguistici (il francese ricopriva il ruolo che ora ha l'inglese) il paese ove la frode editoriale era più diffusa, ma anche il 1° ad organizzare la 1a conferenza internazionale (1858) sul diritto d'autore. Il diritto d'autore "moderno" risale al 1886 (Convenzione di Berna), mentre già Luigi XVI aveva concesso (per il teatro) agli autori il diritto a disporre delle proprie opere, generalizzato poi in epoca napoleonica.

Bruxelles, Meline, Cans et Compagnie, 1842 e 1841, Le 2 opere raccolte in unico volume in-16, mezza pelle verde coeva con titolo ed eleganti fregi oro al dorso, piatti marmorizzati, pp. (4), 296; (2), 265, (1). Per ambedue i titoli si tratta di edizioni "pirata", antecedenti le edizioni francesi autorizzate: la prima opera, già apparsa a puntate su "La Législature" nel 1842, vedrà la prima edizione in volume col titolo "Un début dans la vie" solo nel 1844 presso Dumont; la seconda, apparsa a puntate in forma parziale su "La Presse" nel 1840, esce in volume a Parigi presso Souverain nel 1842 col titolo mutato in "Un mènage de garçon", poi presso Furne nel 1843 con quello definitivo de "La Rabbouilleuse". Il Belgio è stato per ragioni linguistiche il paese in cui la frode editoriale era più diffusa, ma anche quello in cui si è iniziato il processo per arrivare al diritto d'autore" di moderna concezione.

8vo., First Edition thus, on laid paper, with a full-page facsimile in the text, some mild age-soiling (mainly marginal) to text; attractively bound in twentieth century half calf, marbled boards, gilt back, uncut, a most attractive copy of a scarce work. EDITION LIMITED TO 250 NUMBERED COPIES SIGNED BY WILLIAM PEACE & SON, THE ORKNEY CO-PUBLISHER (THIS COPY NO. 75). The first complete reissue of the original edition of 1725 of which only the British Library copy is known. It was published jointly by Sotheran of London and William Peace of Kirkwall in Orkney. John Gow (1697-1725), the 'Orkney Pirate', was the son of a wealthy merchant from Wick in Caithness. He grew up in the Orkney town of Stromness and as soon as he was old enough ran away to sea. In 1725 he led the mutiny on board the ship 'Caroline', personally murdering the captain; so beginning a reign of piracy and terror that made his name famous around Europe. Planning to cross the Atlantic to join the pirates of the Caribbean, he sailed to Orkney for supplies but was recognised, captured and subsequently hanged in London. Gow was the inspiration for Captain Cleveland in Sir Walter Scott's novel 'The Pirate' (1822). A scarce and important work on piracy. CBEL II, p.508; NMMC IV, 135.

43571Boston : Thayer & Eldridge, 1860 [New York, Richard Worthington, 1861/1880]. Un volume 12x19cm pleine percaline violette gravée à froid de fers spéciaux en reliure de l’éditeur. IV-456 pages avec le portrait de Whitman en frontispice. Contrefaçon de la troisième édition augmentée de 121 poèmes notamment Chants Democratic, Enfans d’Adam, Calamus et A Word out of the Sea. Tirage pirate, non daté, réalisé entre les années 1860 et 1880 par Richard Worthington, qui racheta les plaques de la reliure et du texte suite à la faillite de Thayer & Eldridge en 1861. Ce piratage fit connaître largement Whitman, qui ne poursuivit pas en justice Worthington, la légende voulant qu’il eut fini par en percevoir des royalties. Bel exemplaire.

In-12° (160x90mm), pp. (24), 450, pergamena floscia coeva con nervi passanti al dorso e titolo manoscritto al dorso. Alcune carte lievemente brunite ma più che buon esemplare Anche se presentata come traduzione italiana del Nouveau Cuisinier François, grande classico della gastronomia francese, composto dall'Ecuyer de Cuisine del Marchese di Uxelles, in realtà come spiega Claudio Benporat in Storia della gastronomia italiana, pp. 184-89, il libro italiano non ha una parentela diretta con il testo di La Varenne, ma è la traduzione di tre di quei numerosi testi anonimi che circolavano a quel tempo in Francia e che si fregiavano della paternità di La Varenne, senza averne alcun diritto, a soli scopi commerciali. Nonostante la palese pirateria, l'opera ebbe un grande successo in Italia e fu rieditata fino all'inizio del XIX secolo. In ogni caso è da notare come i tre trattati anonimi sulla base di un analisi comparativa siano ispirati direttamente al Varenne i cui testi sono ampiamente cannibalizzati e dunque l'impatto sull'ambiente culinario italiano, considerando che molti usarono anche l'edizione francese, non si discosta poi tanto dal caso in cui la traduzione fosse condotta sui testi originali. L'opera originale riguarda ogni possibile piatto della cucina francese, con speciale attenzione alla pasticceria e alle confetture, e conobbe, tra Seicento e Settecento, notevole fortuna editoriale con numerose ristampe, circa una trentina; e concorse in modo fondamentale a fissare la cucina francese a cavallo tra XVII e XVIII secolo, con una codificazione gastronomica destinata a lasciare una traccia profonda sui grandi cuochi di Francia, in aperta rottura con le tradizioni culinarie rinascimentali italiane (malgrado indiscutibili apporto di gastronomi italiani come Bartolomeo Scappi). Nato intorno al 1615, Varenne era un sostenitore dei cibi leggeri - raccomandava l'uso di verdure fresche a "chilometri zero" - e nelle sue ricette, famose le salse, si riproponeva di conservare il sapore originario degli alimenti, rifiutandosi di seppellirlo sotto quintali di spezie esotiche. Morì nel 1678, ridotto in miseria e amareggiato dalle critiche degli altri famosi chef, che non vollero capire l’importanza storica della sua pubblicazione. Cfr. Vicaire, p. 501.

1726UDG-1JOHNSON (Charles). Histoire des pirates anglois depuis leur établissement dans l'isle de la Providence, jusqu'à présent, Contenant toutes leurs avantures, pirateries, meurtres, cruautez et excez. Avec la vie et les avantures de deux femmes pirates Marie Read et Anne Bonny. Et un extrait des lois et des ordonnances concernant La piraterie. Paris, Etienne Ganeau et Guillaume Cavelier, 1726. In-12, seconde édition corrigée, parue un an seulement après l’originale, de cet important volume sur l’Histoire romancée de la piraterie retraçant la vie de 19 pirates, et notamment des deux femmes pirates les plus célèbres, Marie Read et Anne Bonny. Selon J.R. Moore, le nom de Johnson serait un pseudonyme pour Daniel Defoe. Il est à noter que les attributions de Moore sont aujourd’hui remises en question, notamment par les travaux de Furbank et Owens. Exemplaire bien complet de la table, du privilège, de l’approbation et du catalogue des deux libraires. Reliure plein veau moucheté d’époque, dos orné à 5 nerfs. La reliure présente des usures, notamment au dos avec quelques petits manques et plusieurs restaurations (mors, coins et dos) rendant l’ensemble tout à fait solide et manipulable. Le volumes est toutefois assez rigide et les plats ont tendance à "s’évaser" par rapport au dos. (quelques petites déchirures parfois restaurées en marge de certains feuillets, notamment à l'intérieur des 4 premiers feuillets affectant légèrement le texte sans manque, traces de salissures au coin supérieur gauche de certaines pages, restauration à la dernière page, légère mouillure et taches aux derniers feuillets)
