‎Puss in Boots by Charles Perrault. A Picture Book Illustrated by Barry Wilkinson.‎

‎Cleveland: The World Publishing Company 1969. First American Edition. Oblong octavo full-color illus. boards hardcover full-color illus. endpapers unpaginated 26 pp. Fine in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: When the miller died he left nothing at all to his youngest son except -- of all things -- a cat. Unhappy with his meader lot the boy despaired of ever earning a livelihood for himself. But to his surprise the cat spoke up and offered to help him in return for only a sack and a pair of boots. With these he proposed to seek his young master’s fortune. And from his fist visit to the king bearing a plump white rabbit as a gift to the mysterious disappearance of the fearsome ogre Puss proved himself to be the most ingenious of cats and a treasure indeed. Charles Perrault first set down this delctable tale in 1697; its rollicking humor made it an instant and perennial favorite. Now at last if finds its perfect expression in a translation which follows closely PErrault’s original version and in Barry Wilkinson’s warm and gleeful illustrations which reinterpret for today’s children the vitality and beauty of seventeenth-century France in striking design and glowing stained-glass colors.

‎Description Anatomique d'un Cameleon d'un Castor d'un Dromadaire d'un Ours et d'une Gazelle‎

‎Fine woodcut vignette on title & five fine folding engraved plates. 120 pp. 4to fine antique calf spine nicely gilt. Paris: F. Leonard 1669. First edition of the second publication of the "Parisians" a famous group of anatomists in Paris; their publications mark the beginnings of modern comparative anatomy. "The constitution of the French Academy of Science in 1666 established a school of morphology to which the modern development of comparative anatomy may be directly traced.The longevity of the early Parisian anatomists was remarkable.Their leader was the veteran Claude Perrault.it was due mainly to his influence that a number of the early members of the French Academy who are often conveniently referred to in the literature of the period as the 'Parisians' laid the foundations of our modern knowledge of comparative anatomy."-Cole A History of Comparative Anatomy pp. 393-95 & see pp. 393-425. The leading members of the "Parisians" were beside Perrault Guichard Joseph Duverney Jean Pecquet Moyse Charas and Philippe de la Hire. "In June 1667 the Academy was invited to dissect a thresher shark and a lion which had died at the royal menagerie. The reports on these dissections were the first of a long series of anatomical descriptions which ultimately included those of twenty-five species of mammals seventeen birds five reptiles one amphibian and one fish. "Although some of the discoveries on which the Parisians most prided themselves - including the nictitating membrane that Perrault first observed in a cassowary the external lobation of the kidneys in the bear and the castoreal glands of the beaver - had been observed earlier no such detailed and exact descriptions and illustrations had been published before."-D.S.B.

A few leaves creased light marginal dampstains on 2 or 3 plates but very good. 19th century armorial bookplate; bookplate of Arthur and Charlotte Vershbow.</p> <p> First Editions. Perrault was the leader of a team of comparative anatomists that included Guichard Joseph Duverney Jean Pecquet Moyse Charas and Philippe de la Hire; they were often called the "Parisians" in contemporary literature because of their membership in the Académie Royale des Sciences. Their investigations began with a thresher shark and lion from the royal menagerie and went on to encompass forty-nine vertebrate species. "Although some of the discoveries on which the Parisians most prided themselves—including the nictitating membrane that Perrault first observed in a cassowary the external lobation of the kidneys in the bear and the castoreal glands of the beaver—had been observed earlier no such detailed and exact descriptions and illustrations had been published before" Dictionary of Scientific Biography. In the spirit of rationalism Perrault and his team investigated and debunked many popular myths attached to certain species such as the legend that salamanders live in fire or that chameleons subsist on air. They also recorded their methods of work along with their results providing the only contemporary disclosure of how such anatomical research was conducted in the seventeenth century.</p> <p> The Mémoires were originally issued in two parts in 1671 and 1676 as in our copy; they were later reissued in 1676 with slight changes as one volume with a new title-leaf. The two volumes of the Mémoires contain descriptions of twenty-nine species including the lion the chameleon the shark the lynx the porcupine the eagle the cormorant and the ostrich. Our copy was bound for presentation by Louis XIV patron of the Académie des Sciences; a significant portion of the edition was bound this way. </p> <p>Vol. I of our copy also includes the first edition of Jean-Félix Picard's Mesure de la terre 1671 which contains the first reasonably accurate calculation of the size of the Earth. Picard based his calculation on his measurements of a degree of latitude along the Paris meridian. Using sophisticated instruments Picard obtained a value for the Earth's polar radius of 6328.9 kilometers only 0.44% below the correct value of 6357 km.; his results were thirty to forty times more precise than any that had been obtained previously.

‎PERRAULT Claude 1613 1688 HISTORY OF ACADEMIE ROYALE DES SCIENCES Royal Academy of Sciences‎

‎Memoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences: Memoires pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des Animaux‎

‎Paris: Par La Compagnie des Libraires 1734. Hardcover. Very Good. Three volumes comprising Vol. III parts I to III of Memoires de l’Académie Royale des Sciences depuis 1666 jusqu’à 1699. Paris: Par La Compagnie des Libraires 1733-1734. Part I: 231pp.; Part II: 294pp.; Part III: 215pp. 97 engraved folding plates depicting animals and skeletal diagrams. Engraved portrait frontispiece of Claude Perrault in first volume. Contemporary French calf spines gilt edges red; some occasional browning; repairs to joints some rubbing. Unidentified armorial bookplate to front pastedown beneath monogrammed bookplate “D.P.” with chipmunk and two mice. A later reduced format edition of Perrault’s Memoires of 1671-1676 Perrault’s study of this nature was first published in 1669 with the results of investigations of five animals and later expanded with studies of over forty animals. Prior to 1670 most descriptions of animals paid little attention to their internal structure and there were very few images in natural history encyclopedias that depicted skeletons or muscles. That changed with the establishment of the Académie des Sciences in Paris in 1666 by Jean-Baptiste Colbert with the approval of King Louis XIV. The Academy functioned with neither statutes nor regulations until 1699. At that time the Academy used the term mathématique to encompass the fields that are now called astronomy mathematics and physics and the term physique to encompass the fields that are now called anatomy botany zoology and chemistry. In January 1699 Louis reorganized the Academy giving it first regulations. The effect was to give the King more control over their activities in exchange for becoming an official institution under his protection with the new name Académie Royale des Sciences. One of the original academicians the physician Claude Perrault organized regular sessions at which participants could dissect deceased animals from Louis XIV’s royal menagerie and record all they observed. Lions chameleons bears gazelles wolves ostriches crocodiles monkeys eagles tigers porcupines and salamanders among some were all laid open by the academic’s scalpels. These superb folding plates record in great detail the pioneering work at the Academy. These three volumes in three parts focus on the transformative and foundational years of the French Royal Academy of Sciences and Claude Perrault’s efforts which had made comparative anatomy a vital tool for the classifying naturalist. <br/><br/> Par La Compagnie des Libraires hardcover books‎

From the collection of Charles Philippe Robin 1821-1885 French doctor anatomist and politician bibliographical note at foot of title. Other early inscriptions to title referring to the engraver “M. LeClerc” and on rear pastedown to the state of the engravings. <br/><br/>First Edition and second publication dealing with the comparative anatomy of the animals the chameleon the beaver the camel the bear and the gazelle. Perrault scientist and naturalist was the leader of a team of comparative anatomists called the “Parisians” that included Guichard-Joseph Duverney Jean Pecquet Moyse Charas and Philippe de la Hire. Their investigations began in June 1667 with a thresher shark and lion from the royal academy and went on to encompass forty-nine vertebrate species. The detailed reports and exact descriptions on these dissections were the first of a long series of anatomical descriptions which ultimately included those of twenty-five species of mammals seventeen birds five reptiles one amphibian and one fish. Perrault and the team of “Parisians” prided themselves on several discoveries and in the process debunked many popular myths attached to certain species such as the legend that salamanders live in fire or that chameleons subsist on air. The scientists also recorded how they obtained their results providing a glimpse of how such anatomical research was conducted in the seventeenth century. The work is illustrated beautifully with five large folding plates by the expert painter engraver and writer Sebastian Leclerc 1637-1714 four of which were engraved by Leclerc and one by the watercolor painter writer and printmaker Abraham Bosse c. 1604-1676. Very fine work; the large folding plates remain fresh and intact. No such detailed and exact descriptions and illustrations had been published before. It is hard to measure another such important addition to the anatomical study of animals. Frederic Leonard hardcover books‎

‎Basel/Boston: Birkhäuser Verlag 1997. Hardcover. VG. Color illustrated paper boards with white lettering on front cover and spine 103 pp illustrated in color. Text in English French and German. "An important component in Dominique Perrault's architecture is the deliberate use of materials. Textures colors reflections and tactile qualities impart to the purity even austerity of his simple monumental buildings a special note of distinction. This volume documents for the first time his collaboration with Gaelle Lauriot-Prevost in furniture and lamp design as well as wall hangings - the area where Perrault's sense of materials is most tangible. The complete interior design for the Bibliotheque nationale de France - the woven metal wall hangings the various book shelves reading tables chairs reception areas research alcoves etc. as well as lamps- is the focus of this book. Other design products and thefirst application of woven metal hangings in the departmental archives in Laval 1992 are also shown. Finally the volume provides insight into the creative design process through sketches preliminary studies photographs documenting various production phases and the actual manufacturing process." -website description.
