‎Berlin und Stettin: bey Friedrich Nicolai 1788. Octavo 15.5 × 9.2 cm. Contemporary half calf; spine richly gilt and with green title lable; edges red; XVI 347 pp. Frontis engraving by E. Henne. Bookplate of Martin E. Winkler to front pastedown. Boards very lightly rubbed; tiny ink shelfmark to first leaf; a few small smudges but overall a very good copy. First collected edition and the first edition printed in Germany of these three anti-Masonic plays by Catherine the Great which were first staged in Russia in 1786 at the Hermitage Theater in St. Petersburg. At the same time they were published in German translation by Christian Gottlieb Arndt 1743-1829 by at least two Russian publishers evidently to great acclaim. Catherine's plays were in particular a reaction to the arrival of Alessandro Cagliostro 1743-1795 in St. Petersburg where he sought to spread word of his system of "Egyptian Freemasonry" but was exposed and ridiculed. The publisher the German writer critic and bookseller Christoph Friedrich Nicolai 1733-1811 was one of the key representatives of the Berlin Enlightenment. His lengthy preface praises Catherine's wisdom and reaffirms the need for ridiculing occultism and superstition of all forms in this "century of philosophy." Curiously he also mentions that the Russian editions of Catherine's plays earned their publishers over twenty thousand rubles. Cat. Russica C344. From the collection of the German historian and icon collector Martin E. Winkler 1893-1982. KVK and OCLC locate no copies in North America only microform. hardcover books‎

Intérieur en bon état.Édition en français du célèbre Nakaz dans la traduction de Jean-Rodolphe Frey des Landres (1727-1799), publié peu de temps avant celle traduite par l'Impératrice elle-même, à Saint-Pétersbourg, mais non mise dans le commerce.‎

‎Les Instructions adressées par Sa Majesté l'impératrice de toutes les Russies établies pour travailler à l'exécution d'un projet d'un nouveau code de lois, plus connu sous le nom de Nakaz est un traité de philosophie politique écrit par Catherine II de Russie, et édité en 1767. L'impératrice y présente ses théories politiques inspirées de Montesquieu et Beccaria à lintention de la commission des lois de son pays, réunie en 1767 dans le but de remplacer le code des lois moscovite par un texte moderne. Ce texte proclamait l'égalité de tous les hommes devant la loi et désapprouvait la peine de mort et la torture.Écrit par Catherine II en français et traduit en russe par ses soins, le Nakaz sera publié parallèlement en russe et en allemand le 10 août 1767. Il sera également publié en italien. La version russe de ce texte, qui est la seule version officielle, sappuie sur le document signé et scellé par limpératrice, conservé aux Archives dactes anciens à Moscou.Denis Diderot a commenté l'ouvrage dans ses Observations sur le Nakaz (1774), à la suite des nombreux entretiens qu'il a eus avec l'Impératrice. A lune des Instructions de Catherine II qui copie littéralement Montesquieu, il répond : « Tout ce que vous dites-là est fort beau ; pourquoi avez-vous donc fait le contraire ? »‎

‎Précieux exemplaire annoté de l'Instruction de Catherine II. Faux-titre en latin ; buste légendé de Catherine II en frontispice gravé par Boily. Examen critique d'une main anonyme des deux premières questions du Nakaz jusqu'à l'article 172 : le scripteur traque les emprunts à l'Esprit des Lois de Montesquieu et au Traité des délits et des peines de Beccaria. De nombreux articles sont soulignés et commentés en regard : dès l'article 21, il reconnaît l'apparat critique de l'édition de l'Esprit « Amsterdam 1764 » (ces notes d'un anonyme seront plus tard attribuées à Luzac), un peu plus loin, l'édition 1766 du Traité de Beccaria traduit par Morellet : Nous allons quitter Montesquieu pour quelques instants et passer au traité des délits et des peines du marquis Beccaria. S.M.I. a daigné s'approprier aussi les idées de cet auteur et pour s'épargner aussi l'ennui de traduire elle a daigné s'approprier aussi la traduction de l'abbé Morellet imprimée à Lausanne en 1766. c'est avec ce petit secours qu'elle a créé sa théorie de jurisprudence criminelle comme il s'ensuit. Ses considérations sont aussi formelles : c'est une hardiesse heureuse du génie impérial qui crée la présente instruction et qui veut bien enrichir notre langue de tours ingénieux et nouveaux dont sans doute nous nous empresserons de profiter.Le Nakaz de Catherine II fut dès sa publication commenté par ses illustres contemporains comme le physiocrate Le Trosne et surtout Diderot. Mais Quérard rendit dans ses Supercheries le mérite à Beuchot d'avoir identifié le premier les emprunts de Catherine II à Montesquieu et Beccaria pour la rédaction de son code ; curieusement, aucun exemplaire de l'Instruction apparait dans le catalogue de sa bibliothèque (Bibliothèque de Beuchot. Paris, 1851).« Catherine écrivit son Instruction en français; elle en a tiré une grande partie de l'Esprit des lois de Montesquieu et du Traité des Délits et des Peines, de Beccaria, quoiqu'elle n'ait fait aucune mention des sources où elle l'a puisée. C'est à M. Beuchot, qui le premier a fait cette remarque, que nous sommes redevable de la connaissance de ce fait. Ce qu'il y a de singulier, c'est que cette instruction, écrite d'abord en français traduite en russe et en allemand, et de cette dernière langue en français, puisse représenter dans la version donnée ( par Balthazard ) à Lausanne en 1769, de fréquents passages absolument conformes à la première édition de la traduction du Traité des Délits et des Peines, de Beccaria, par L'abbé Morellet (1766, in-8). Balthazard ayant reconnu les fragments empruntés par Catherine, trouva plus naturel de les copier fidèlement de Montesquieu et de l'ouvrage de Beccaria , traduit par Morellet, que de les traduire. En rédigeant le Nakaz, l'impératrice utilise une édition de L’Esprit des lois accompagnée de « remarques philosophiques et politiques d’un anonyme » (nombreuses réimpressions hollandaises en 1761-1764). Le nom de cet anonyme, Elie Luzac, reste inconnu à Catherine II — elle soupçonnait probablement D’Alembert — mais 21 articles du Nakaz sont largement inspirés des commentaires de Luzac, et trois autres témoignent de son influence ».Très bel exemplaire à grandes marges dans une reliure attribuable à Jean-Claude Bozerian d'après la roulette des plats.Barbier, II, 8695 ; Quérard, Supercheries dévoilées (I, p. 208 sqq. notes en bas de page, édition 1847) ; Paul Culot, Relieurs et reliures décorées en France aux époques Directoire et Empire, 81.‎
