178446404421À Dublin, de l’Imprimerie de Wilson, et se trouve à Paris, chez les libraires qui vendent des nouveautés, 1784 ; in-8, broché, couverture bleue muette, non rogné. (brochage de l’époque) VIII pp., 216 pp.Une des éditions à la date de l’originale. Sur le titre, ce roman est attribué à Choderlos de Laclos. Le véritable auteur est le marquis de Luchet (Saintes 1740 - Paris 1792). D’abord officier de cavalerie, il quitte l’armée pour faire des affaires qui échouent et l’obligeront à se réfugier à Lausanne pour fuir ses créanciers. Grâce à Voltaire il devint bibliothécaire du landgrave de Hesse. En 1786, il passa au service du prince Henri de Prusse et ne revint en France qu’en 1788. Luchet a beaucoup produit. Ses livres qui se voulaient des mémoires de son temps étaient en réalité des romans satiriques. Drujon. Les livres à clefs II, 965 donne les clefs de celui-ci. On y trouve la ctesse et le cte de La Noue, le mis de Culan, Melle Arnould, Melle Dubois la première femme de Beaumarchais, le Mis de Villette, Beaumarchais, Linguet, Fréron, Boufflers, Vergennes... Lorsqu’on connaît cette clef, le roman devient assez piquant. “Les mémoires que nous publions aujourd’hui sont une fiction, si l’on veut : il n’y a cependant pas un fait dont le fonds ne soit vrai, pas un personnage qui n’existe ou n’ait existé. Tout ce que j’ai supprimé, c’est le merveilleux ; ce qui se passe est beaucoup plus incroyable que ce qu’on invente.”Mylne Martin 84,39. - Exemplaire à toutes marges, bel état intérieur, le brochage est un peu défraîchi.

1730176140Lisbon: Joseph Antonio da Sylva Impressor da Academia Real 1730. The first history of Brazil First edition "much sought after by Brazilians" Borba de Moraes. Sebastiao da Rocha Pitta 1660-1738 was himself Brazilian having been born in Bahia. This is an attractive copy of this rare and important work in a carefully restored contemporary binding. The last copy to appear at auction was in 1985. "Though scornfully dismissed by Robert Southey as being 'a meagre and inaccurate work which has been accounted valuable merely because there is no other' the Historia does not deserve such censure. For all its Gongoric turgidity it contains some valuable and authentic information being on some points more fair-minded and accurate than Southey's better written but more prejudiced work" Boxer p. 160. Thomas Lindley writing in his Narrative of a Voyage to Brazil 1805 is less dismissive and certainly more specific in his criticisms describing Pitta as "an intelligent and well-informed Brazilian" who compiled his history "from the chronicles of the Jesuits and other authorities and some valuable local knowledge of his own. This work is copious in its details of the foundation of Brazil as a colony its successive governors its churches its monasteries and convents". However Lindley was less enthusiastic about Pitta's coverage of natural history manufacturing and commerce but the Historia is evidently more of an old-style chronicle than a practical up-to-the-minute guidebook. Lindley also remarks that the Portuguese government "publicly prohibited its being read under the severest penalties and it is now only met with carefully secluded in the cabinets of the curious". Quarto 295 x 197 mm pp. xxvi ii blank 716. Title printed in red and black woodcut headpieces; bound with the half-title and the integral blank before the main body of the text which are frequently lacking. Contemporary sprinkled sheep new dark red morocco label compartments gilt with scrolled foliate corner-pieces floral lozenge central tools edges sprinkled red and blue. Binding a little rubbed and worn in some places some stripping from the front cover. Judicious restoration to spine ends and joints expert repair to head of front board occasional professional paper repairs to margins. Short closed tear to half-title page pale tidemark in margin of last few leaves; overall a very good copy. Borba de Moraes 1983 II 678; Sabin 72300. C. R.

A fine and clean copy. 14 716 pp. Here with the often missing half title but wanting the final blank. <br/><br/><em>Rare first edition here with the often missing half title of the first general history of Brazil – “This work is extremely copious in the details of its foundation as a colony its successive governors its churches its monasteries and convents†Sabin. "This first edition is becoming rare and is much sought after by Brazilians . since it is the first history of Brazil to have been printed and since it was written by a Brazilian" Borba de Moraes. The author's purpose was to narrate the events that had taken place in Brazil with the help of "truthful reports" these largely from Jesuit sources and "modern information" given by those who had traveled in the vast Brazilian territory. This was the only history of Brazil available to Pitta’s contemporaries since most of the others composed in the first two centuries of colonization remained in manuscript form until the nineteenth century. Rocha Pitta was born in Bahia in 1660 and died in the year 1738. At the age of 22 he left the University of Coimbra where he took his degree to return to Bahia where he got married. He made up his mind to write a history of Brazil and he spent years in collecting documents in the Monasteries of Brazil and Portugal where he went in order to study French Dutch and Italian for the purposes of his history. “In 1728 after 40 years of study he began to print his history which appeared in 1730. It was universally well received and King John V. appointed him a member of the household in consequence yet in a few years the Portuguese government publicly prohibited its being read under the severest penalties.†Sabin.Sabin 72300 Borba de Moraes 1983 p. 748 </em> hardcover

17603006485Babylone" in fact Paris: n.p. 1760. Octavo with four engraved plates by Cochin after Desfriches illustrating the second work "Mon Odyssée ou le Journal de Mon Retour de Saintonge"; contemporary mottled calfspine gilt with red label. <p><p>First edition: a marvellous imaginary work describing an utopian community and prefiguring the uses of photography television and the telephone.</p> <p>Tiphaigne de la Roche 1729-1774 was a physician polymath and much-published writer. In Giphantie an anagram of the author's name the protagonist is lifted semi-conscious and transported by air to a beautiful garden where a charming spirit guide shows him around a 'vaguely utopian society' Lewis. The book is a good example of the imaginary voyage genre using a quite plausible African setting but is more renowned for the fantastical series of technical advances that are discussed in striking detail including everything from prototype televisions to telephones. The discussion of the way in which the ruling spirits of the land have learnt to 'fix' the fleeting images formed by light is so detailed that the novel is considered a milestone in the pre-history of photography. A relevant passage in the subsequent English edition of 1761 is often quoted: 'You know that the rays of light reflected from different bodies form a picture and paint the image reflected on all polished surfaces for instance on the retina of the eye on water and on glass. The elementary spirits have sought to fix these fleeting images.'.</p> <p>This copy is bound together with Pierre Honoré Robbe de Beauveset's rococo poem in four verses Mon Odyssée ou le Journal de Mon Retour de Saintonge La Haye 1760 illustrated with four engraved plates. De Beauveset was an influential French writer known for his satires and erotic works.</p> </p> . n.p. unknown

Part I 2 176 pp; Part II 2 174 pp. Contemporary full mottled calf with the spine in six gilt-decorated compartments; hinges partially cracked but firm; rubbing at the edges and chipping at the corners. Moderate foxing or soiling. A near very good copy. "In 1760 the French writer Charles François Tiphaigne de la Roche wrote a novel that today would be considered science fiction. Titled Giphantie an anagram of his name it describes his imaginary travels. He was lifted into the air and transported half unconscious to a beautiful garden in a strange land. There he met a Spirit who said 'I am the Prefect of this island which is called Giphantie.' With the Prefect as guide Tiphaigne explored the wonders of 'the island.'" In GIPHANTIA Chapter XVII Part I The author prophecies the fixing of transient images of nature by the action of light. "Thou knowest that the rays of light reflected from different bodies make a picture and paint the bodies upon all polished surfaces on the retina of the eye for instance on water on glass. The elementary spirits have studied to fix these transient images: they have composed a most subtle matter very viscous and proper to harden and dry by the help of which a picture is made in the twinkle of an eye. They do over this matter a piece of canvas and hold it before the objects they have in mind to paint. The first effect of the canvas is that of a mirror; there are seen upon it all the bodies far and near whose image the light can transmit. But what the glass cannot do the canvas by means of the viscous matter retains the images. The mirror shows the objects exactly; but keeps none; our canvases show them with the same exactness and retains them all. This impression of the images is made the first instant they are received on the canvas which is immediately carried away into some dark place; an hour after the subtle matter dries and you have a picture so much the more valuable as it cannot be imitated by art nor damaged by time."
