1805102924Ambiani [Amiens], Ludovicus Jacobus Mauritius de Bonald, 1805, in-8, 207-[2]-55 ff, Cartonnage de l'époque, Manuscrit en deux parties : la première ? en 207 feuillets et 2 feuillets de table ? comporte le Cours de rhétorique en latin et en français de Louis Sellier; la seconde, foliotée en chiffre romains (LV), contient une transcription en français du Discours de Ciréron pour Milon. Le jeune étudiant à l'origine de ce cahier, Louis Jacques Maurice de Bonald (1787-1870), originaire de Millau, deviendra une personnalité éminente à Lyon, dont il sera l'archevêque en 1839. Pour l'heure, il est en passe d'achever ses études classiques : né dans une famille ultraroyaliste, il est conduit chez les Pères de la Foi ? d'abord au sein du collège d'Amiens, puis à Montdidier ? par son parent, le prêtre réfractaire de Millau Louis de Sambucy. Il y suit le cours de rhétorique de Louis Sellier (1772-1854), émule de Joseph Varin avec qui il participe à la restauration de la Compagnie de Jésus. Les leçons du père Sellier débutent le 23 septembre 1805; Maurice de Bonald est alors à l'aube de ses 18 ans. L'élève a recopié ses notes sur des pages réglées au crayon, à l'encre noire, d'une écriture soignée et lisible. La page de titre calligraphique est illustrée en tête d'une croix lumineuse surgissant de nuées. Le cours se constitue d'une préface et de trois parties : I. De inventione; II. De dispositione; III. De Elocutione. À la fin se trouvent le Pro Milone, célèbre plaidoyer de Cicéron qui servit d'exercice d'éloquence à des générations d'étudiants. "Sous la conduite de maîtres aussi éclairés dans la science de Dieu que dans les sciences humaines, la semence divine fructifia abondamment dans l'âme du jeune Maurice de Bonald, si bien préparée à la recevoir. Sa vocation ecclésiastique fut le couronnement de cette éducation profondément chrétienne, commencée sur les genoux d'une pieuse mère, et achevée par les soins de vénérables professeurs, et sous la haute direction de son père" (Vie de S. Em. le Cardinal de Bonald p. 15). Les études religieuses de Maurice de Bonald sont en fait assez peu connues, contrairement à sa carrière ecclésiastique : dès qu'il quitte les Pères de la foi, il entre au séminaire de Saint-Sulpice; il est fait prêtre à la fin de l'année 1811. En 1823, il est nommé à l'Evêché du Puy tout juste rétabli, puis devient archevêque de Lyon en 1839. Cet ultramontain oeuvre avec ferveur à la rechristianisation de la capitale de la soie en fondant des dizaines d'églises, plusieurs instituts religieux et en remettant à l'honneur le culte marial. Bien qu'imprégné de l'héritage ultraroyaliste de sa famille, Maurice de Bonald adopta une attitude prudente, évitant toute opposition directe au pouvoir et s'abstenant de s'impliquer dans les affaires politiques. Le document que nous présentons ici apporte un éclairage précieux sur les jeunes années de cette figure religieuse parmi les plus marquantes du milieu du XIXe siècle.

46404898, 18 x 11 cm. sur des feuilles de papier vergé de 24 x 18 cm., 8 dessins à l’encre noire légendés du texte du Faust de Marlowe. Le texte des légendes est celui de la traduction de François-Victor Hugo, les numéros de pages notés en marge des dessins correspondent à l’édition de ce texte chez Michel Lévy en 1858. Une seconde pagination des dessins qui ne se rapporte pas à l’édition Lévy pourrait correspondre à une édition en projet. L’édition d’un Faust illustrée par Van Maele semble n’avoir jamais paru.Le sujet du texte a permis à l’artiste de livrer toute la mesure de son imagination dans des scènes de diableries, cohue de moines, pape humilié. Sans qu’aucune de ces images ne soit érotique, on y retrouve les postures lascives, scènes de soumission et figures monstrueuses qu’on lui connaît dans ce registre. Le dessin montrant Hélène entourée d’angelots n’est pas sans rappeler certaines scènes de sa suite très scandaleuse “Flèches de plomb”. Si la presque totalité de l’œuvre de Van Maele est de l’illustration d’ouvrages érotiques, il a illustré quelques ouvrages fantastiques tels que les Aventures extraordinaires de Conan Doyle ou les Dix contes d’Edgar Alan Poe.

185253892Paris: Imprimerie Administrative de Paul Dupont/ Varnout et Galante 1852. First edition second printing. Softcover. g to vg. Small quarto. 49 1pp. Illustrated blue wrappers with black lettering on the covers. String-tied binding for the book block.<br /> <br /> A scarce illustrated catalog of early vulcanized rubber medical devices manufactured by the French company Varnout et Galante. Included here are more than 80 medical surgical and gynecological instruments designed under the supervision of physician and gynecologist Marie Maurice Gariel 1811-1878. The work includes numerous small engraved figures throughout illustrating various products. Each item is numbered for reference with a description some brief and some longer. The products include not only items related to reproductive medicine and women's health such as breast-feeding instruments vaginal douches tampons urethral probes and urinals for incontinence but also more general medical equipment such as crutches braces bandages protective gloves mattress pads for medical beds restraints compression belts and inflatable cushions. <br /> <br /> This publication is notable and intriguing in that it was produced at a time when both the modern medical field of gynecology was in it's infancy and the revolutionary process of vulcanizing rubber was a newly established industry. Only eight years earlier in 1844 American chemist and engineer Charles Goodyear had patented the groundbreaking process for manufacturing this material on an industrial scale and its wide range of potential uses was just starting to be discovered. The introductory pages extoll the virtues of the new technology of vulcanized rubber and include tables comparing vulcanize to un-vulcanized rubber under various metrics. Table of contents at the rear.<br /> <br /> Text in French.<br /> <br /> Wrappers with minor rubbing to extremities and small chips to the bottom right corners of the front cover and at a few points on the spine. Light foxing at the bottom of the back cover. Interior with a very few tiny sporadic stains but otherwise very clean. Wrappers in good interior in very good condition overall. Scarce. Protected in modern mylar. Full title: Catalogue des Appareils et Instruments de Médecine et de Chirurgie en Caoutchouc Vulcanisé Fabriqués sous la Direction Immédiate de M.

Shot by Jean Soulat and Mauric Boussus of Studio Soulat-Boussus in Paris with respective stamps on the verso. <br/><br/>An excessively rare photograph from Dreyer's masterpiece capturing Maria Falconetti in what one could accurately described as "in character."

1788284311788. Folio. Broadsheet 12 3/4 x 8 inches. Moderate wear and soiling small hole in center of sheet affecting a few letters of text. Early and unrecorded imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius also known as the Ile de France. The text contains the articles for establishing a Bureau de Charité for the island. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in the island taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton the Dutch abandoned the colony in 1710. The French soon claimed it as "Ile de France" and the island remained under the control of the French East India Company until 1767. During the long war between France and England at the beginning of the 19th century Mauritius proved to be an important strategic naval base and as a result the British took charge of the island in 1810 and the Treaty of Paris confirmed official British possession in 1814. It remained an important sugar producing colony and in the 20th century agricultural production was expanded to include tea rice and other produce. Printing began on Mauritius in 1768. During the French period until 1810 only about 400 imprints were produced mostly in the form of official documents and newspapers though there are also almanacs and a few other items. All are quite rare. No copies located in OCLC and not recorded by Toussaint in his bibliography of Mauritius imprints. unknown books
