176019321760 Couverturerigide Dijon, François Desventes, 1760. Un volume in-24 étroit (11,5 x 6 cm), reliure plein maroquin lavallière de l’époque, plats ornés d’une riche plaque dorée, dos lisse orné de fleurons dorés, tranches dorées (DUBUISSON), charnières légèrement fendillées en pied. Frontispice, titre gravé, 13 feuillets non chiffrés, 198 pages, papier jauni. Huitième et dernière année parue. Le frontispice représente le portrait de Charles de Bourbon, prince de Condé, dans une composition allégorique gravée par Fessard d’après Saint-Aubin (SAFFROY 353). Conçu à la fois comme un guide pratique, un outil administratif et un précis de géographie locale, cet almanach propose une « Division générale de la Bourgogne » détaillant ses différentes contrées (Dijonnois, Autunois, Châlonnois, l'Auxerrois...), ses bailliages, ses cours d'eau (la Saône, l’Ouche, la Tille) et ses ressources. Véritable miroir de la société bourguignonne du XVIIIe siècle, il recense également les membres de la noblesse locale, le clergé, les parlements, ainsi que les foires et les aspects économiques de la région. Bon exemplaire dans une belle reliure.
