AUGUSTINUS Aurelius; DUBOIS Philippe 1626 1694 translator
Le Livre de S. Augustin. De l'esprit et de la lettre. Traduit en François Sur l'Edition des Pères Benedictins de la Congrégation de S. Maur
Paris: Jean Baptiste Coignard 1700. 12mo 157 x 94 mm. 12 259 5 pp. Woodcut title vignette headpiece and initial. Ruled in red throughout. Some discoloration and a few spots. Eighteenth-century French dark blue Jansenist goatskin spine with red morocco gilt lettering-piece gilt edges turn-ins gold-tooled brocade paper endpapers with multiple colored stencilling on a gauffered gold ground; joints and extremities rubbed. Provenance: Martine-Marie-Pol de Béhague comtesse de Béarn 1870-1939 by inheritance to her nephew Hubert de Ganay and thence to his heirs; bookplate with initials H H. First Edition of this translation of St. Augustine's De spiritu et littera by the Academician Philippe Dubois or Dubois-Goibaud who also translated the Confessions. The Approbation dated 8 August 1697 is followed by a royal privilege dated January 1698 to an anonymous libraire who soon after transferred the privilege to the Royal Printer Jean-Baptiste Coignard II. Coignard finished the printing on 23 December 1699. The book's sober undecorated covers the mark of the so-called janséniste style open to reveal exuberantly colored German floral endpapers. Called "papier doré gauffré" in French brocade paper was a specialty of Augsburg and Nürnberg and was probably first produced by engravers or goldsmiths. The pattern was printed either in negative relief with the motifs in intaglio so that the "gold" leaf actually a mixture of brass and an alloy of copper tin zinc and sometimes lead appears as the ground as here; or in positive relief usually showing the patterns in gold on a colored ground. The colors were applied successively using stencils usually cut in oiled paper or in thin metal sheets. Cf. C. Kopylov Papiers dorés d'Allemagne au siècle des Lumières 2012 pp. 17-19.

Six folding engraved plates. Title in red & black. 1 p.l. 308 pp. 8vo cont. mottled sheep flat spine nicely gilt contrasting leather lettering piece on spine. Lausanne & Geneva: M.M. Bousquet 1744. First edition of this important book in which Cheseaux 1718-51 grandson of Crouzas and a fellow the Royal Society of London first stated what was to become known as "the paradox of Cheseaux": "With an infinite and uniform distribution of stars throughout space the night sky should shine with a brightness corresponding to their average surface brightness." A number of notable astronomers have struggled with this problem including Halley Olbers Struve and Herschel. "The magnificent comet of 1744 was both bright and unusual in that it was reliably reported that it had multiple tails spread out like a fan. The Swiss astronomer Jean Philippe Loys de Cheseaux after whom the comet is often named began his observations on December 13 1743 and computed a parabolic orbit based on his own observations through March 1 1744.Before morning twilight on March 7 and 8 1744 Cheseaux reported seeing a multiple-tail system with 6 distinct rays extending above the horizon."-Yeoman Comets pp. 161-62. This work also contains the observations of Cassini and Jean Louis Calandrini. Nice copy. ❧ Lalande p. 425. hardcover books
