‎The Nun.‎

‎1972. London The Folio Society 1972. 15 cm x 22.5 cm. 168 pages. With 7 illustrations. Original hardcover with gilt lettering on spine and ornaments to boards. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. Spine slightly faded. "The Nun or Memoirs of a Nun French: La Religieuse is an 18th-century French novel by Denis Diderot. Completed in about 1780 the work was not published until 1796 after Diderot's death. The novel began not as a work for literary consumption but as an elaborate practical joke aimed at luring the Marquis de Croismare a companion of Diderot's back to Paris. The novel consists of a series of letters purporting to be from a nun Suzanne who implores the Marquis to help her in renouncing her vows and describes her intolerable life in the convent to which she has been committed against her will. Diderot later revised the letters into a novel drawing attention both to the then-current practice of forcing young women into convents in order to get them out of the way and the corruption that was supposedly rampant among the clergy and in religious institutions. When Diderot publicly admitted his role in the ruse the Marquis is said to have laughed at the revelation unsurprisingly since he had behaved with exemplary compassion and generosity in his willingness to help the imaginary Suzanne."

‎Paris: Encyclopedie ou Dictionnaire raisonne des Sciences des Arts et Metiers. Cloth. Near Fine. Circa 1765. Folio 39 by 25.5 cm. 4 9 pp. text and 80 plates some folding. Notwithstanding the discrepancy in the plate number in the title the folio is complete -- in the first part it would appear the doubles were counted as two plates. Shown in the first part are some of the most spectacular theaters and opera houses of the day including the Theatre de Turin the Comedie de Lyon the Theatre d"argentine in Rome and theaters in Montpellier Metz and Stuttgart. The second part is comprised of detailed drawings of the machinery that brought magic to the eighteenth century stage. The drawings are not merely depictions of equipment though but also include occasional renderings of the illusions. Generally very fresh condition. <br/><br/> Encyclopedie ou Dictionnaire raisonne des Sciences, des Arts et Metiers hardcover‎

The main entry for Théâtres spread over twelve pages was written by Chevalier Louis de Jaucourt the often overshadowed contributor to the Encylopédie. He was sometimes criticised for being a compiler and not an original thinker but in this article he presents some of his rarely heard personal opinions. One of his strongest sentiments was that the garden was the ideal scenery for the theatrical representation of human action. He develops this idea using the examples of the Saint Germain en Laye and the pastoral vineyards around Rome. Also included with this suite of plates are numerous other articles. Of particular note are the two supplementary entries for Salles de Spectacles by Rousseau and Théâtres by Diderot himself who had had an interest in and intention to enter the theatre at an early age. The plates and their text played a substantial part in the remodelling and rethinking of the theatre at this period. Not only did the plates contribute to the spread of the 'horseshoe'-shaped theatre but they suggest entirely original ideas to improve other factors. An instance of this creativity is found in the description of the Theatre Royal Turin where remodelling to improve acoustics and to provide proper ventilation are explored and recommended. These revolutionary plans pre-empted by around one hundred years the 19th-century changes which took place in the technology of the theatre. These plates are also an excellent historical record of many theatres no longer in existence charting their architecture and examining their conditions. unknown‎
