Barrois is known to have taken in "Libri's" manuscripts and had them rendered unrecognizable through rearrangement of quires rebinding mutilation etc. The unsigned binding was confidently attributed by Bernard Breslauer to the Parisian binder Thompson who assisted Barrois in these fraudulent activities. Barrois also compiled his own valuable manuscript collection about ten percent of which stemmed from compromised sources. Foreseeing Libri's conviction he had the collection discreetly shipped to England in 1849 and sold to the Earl of Ashburnham cf. Delisle pp. xl-xlii; most but not all were eventually repurchased by the French government. Convicted in 1850 Libri himself remained comfortably in England where he was wined and dined by the likes of Panizzi Keeper of Printed Books at the British Museum.<br /><br />In the present work published the year of Libri's conviction Barrois explores the origins of language in gesture and phonetics postulating an original universal Indo-European language shared by Assyria India and China. He traces its roots through cuneiform hieroglyphics and classical Greek and declares the Phoenician digital or finger-alphabet to have been the source of many other writing systems including Lap Sanskrit Chinese Aztec and other Amerindian languages. The work contains chapters on classical mythology the mnemonics of Homer theatrical pantomime in Terence and Vergil sacred letter symbolism in various religions and detailed analyses of symbols and letterforms. A 35-page glossary of Greek words concludes the treatise. The lithographs reproduce lapidary inscriptions and relevant details from manuscripts and other works of Antiquity or the Middle Ages found in the Louvre the museums of Berlin and other largely French collections. <br /><br />Maxime Lalanne who executed the lithographs was the author of a manual on etching; he may have been related to the Ludovic Lalanne who worked with Henri Bordier on the commission charged with documenting Libri's thefts a thankless task honorably fulfilled which led to Libri's conviction in 1850.<br /><br />In the inserted autograph letter written on vellum Barrois presents this large-paper copy to the pretender to the title of Henri V "whose unfortunate insistence upon his divine rights and upon the scrapping of the Tricolore in favour of the white standard of the Bourbons probably cost him the throne" Breslauer having had it regally attired in a sumptuous neo-fanfare binding probably by Thompson a Parisian binder of English origin who signed very few of his bindings. The technically impeccable gold-tooling may have been the work of Thompson's finisher Marius Michel père. Ramsden notes that Thompson's "passion for book-collecting is said to have dissipated his earnings as a binder."<br /><br />Brunet VI Table méthodique 640 10551; Bernard Breslauer Historic and Artistic Bookbindings from the Bibliotheca Bibliographica Breslaueriana 33.
