The catalogue of the collection of books and antiquities of Pierre-Adrien Pâris; the greatest professional library of the early 19th century. He bequeathed it to the city of Besançon. It contained a number of the essential books on architecture about 1500 manuscript architectural designs by Pâris and paintings and drawings by Fragonard Boucher and Saint-Aubin. Pâris 1745-1819 was architect to Louis XVI designer of the royal cabinet and directed royal festivities at Versailles Marly and Trianon. The collection reflects his deep appreciation for the classical architecture of Greece and Rome where he journeyed several times. During these trips he sketched buildings and artifacts found at Pompeii Herculaneum Paestum and other sites which along with other drawings compose the 1500 architectural designs described here. These experiences prepared him to serve as director of the Académie de France in Rome under Napoleon where he was responsible for excavations at the Colosseum.

Paris: Pissot & Gogue 1763. An important sale catalogue of the library of the Maison Professe des Jesuites of Paris founded in 1580. This library was comprised of many donations the most notable being that of Pierre Daniel Huet 1630-1721 bishop of Avranches and scholar. Huet whose scholarship was very well-known made considerable scientific researches as well as classical studies; he edited the famous Delphin series of the Latin classics in about sixty volumes. Huet formed a great library of books and MSS. which he donated to this Jesuit house upon his death. When the Jesuits were expelled from France in 1762 the entire library of the house was offered for sale by auction. However Huet's books were withdrawn before the sale due to the terms of his donation and were given by his heir to the Royal Library in 1765. This was one of the best and most complete Jesuit libraries in France. It numbered 30000 volumes in 1754 this sale catalogue has 7252 lots. It must be noted that this catalogue gives us the best idea of the contents of Huet's great collection. Very good copy. It lacks one of the two unnumbered pages following the preliminary leaves and the final six leaves which are not present in most copies listing the withdrawn books.

First edition and very uncommon. This catalogue the splendid Han Fürstenberg - Otto Schäfer - Jacques Bemberg copy lists the plates made of the collections of the king including paintings medals royal chateaux fountains grottoes statues busts tapestries and jewels along with records of festivals entrances battles etc. etc. "Colbert understanding that engraving was the best means to disseminate and preserve knowledge of the undertakings of Louis XlV began to assemble a group of outstanding engravers. By 1660 they had achieved the stature of independent artists and by 1670 had become a special group under the protection of the king joined together at the Gobelins around Charles Le Brun and Sebastien Le Clerc. From 1660 André Félibien was charged with providing descriptions of maisons royales and Adam Van der Meulen and Israel Silvestre were sent to the newly conquered territories to make views of the principal chateaus and fortresses. Other commissions for the Cabinet du Roi included engravings by Chauveau of the king's paintings at the Tuileries; copies of paintings and sculpture by Claude Mellan Rousselet and Audran in the galleries of the king; copies by Ronelet of the king's collection of medals; and other works of art and architecture by Rousselet Silvestre Chauveau and Le Clerc. At the same time the Académie des Sciences began scholarly works commissioned by Colbert.Illustrators for these works were Abraham Bosse Sebastien Le Clerc who often made engravings for Claude Perrault Nicolas Bailly and L. de Châtillon. "From 1670 Colbert determined to join these engravings in a collection. He proposed that at the end of each year a temporary volume would be composed of all types of works with the text printed in French and Latin. At the end of ten or twelve years the collection would be subdivided by topics so that the king would have volumes separated into all the sciences and achievements of his reign. "A complete record of the king's possessions was never achieved but the plan was continued by his successors. The engravings from the Cabinet du Roi were first published in a variety of sizes and separately. They were then collected into volumes according to Colbert's plan but sporadically. In 1727 a new edition was published with additional plates and a catalogue. A third edition of twenty-three volumes with further additions and an index was issued in 1743. Later sets were formed with plates from various editions. The plates survive to the present day at the Chalcographie du Louvre."-Millard French Books 46. This catalogue was issued as a guide to the contents of the fifty sets of 956 plates of the 1743 edition which were prepared as gifts see Balayé La Bibliothèque Nationale des origines à 1800 pp. 226-27.
