‎[BOOKSELLING AND PRINTING]‎

‎Règlement pour la Librairie et Imprimerie de Paris; Arrêté au Conseil d'Etat du Roy Sa Majesté y étant le 28 février 1723‎

‎Chaalons’ i.e. Châlons-sur-Marne ‘pour la Communauté des Libraires’ 1735 1735. New edition apparently unrecorded. Not found on OCLC or the Union Catalogue of France CCFr. A fine copy. 12mo contemporary polished continental calf marbled paper endpapers blind-ruled borders red morocco spine label gilt decorations and lettering a.e. stained red. Woodcut tailpieces. By the late 17th century the French government attempted to regulate all aspects of printing and the distribution of books in and around Paris. In 1686 those regulations were codified in the Édit du Roy pour le Règlement des Imprimeurs et Libraires de Paris and the Édit du Roy pour le Règlement des Relieurs et doreurs de Livres. Further revisions were made 30 years later and after some disagreements two editions of the code were published in 1723 and 1731 in the form of a decree. The code was extended to all of France in 1744 and remained in effect until 1777. This edition is a provincially printed version of the 1723 edition printed in Châlons-sur-Marne in 1735. The code is divided into 123 articles and is remarkably comprehensive in its regulation of all aspects of the trade including the import of books old and new bound and unbound and of imported printing types; books sold by subscription; requirements for the apprenticeships to booksellers and printers; the widows of booksellers and of printers; proofreaders; type founders; traveling booksellers; fairground booksellers and printers; prohibited books; auctions and inventories of libraries and bookstores et al. From the library of 19th century Châlons librarian and local historian Amédée Lhote with his bookplate on the front paste-down and ink ownership stamp in the margin of the final page of text; a bookseller’s catalogue entry for the Histoire de l’imprimerie a Châlons 1895 on the rear paste-down. Marginal notations in ink on two leaves. Chaalons’ [i.e. Châlons-sur-Marne], ‘pour la Communauté des Libraires’, 1735 unknown‎

‎Stultifera navis. Tr: Jacobus Locher Philomusus. Add: Thomas Beccadelli; Jacobus Locher Philomosus: Carmina varia]. Basel, Johann Bergmann, de Olpe, 1. III. 1498.‎

‎4to. 146 (instead of 164) ff., wanting fols. 1, 9, 15, 51, 56-58, 81-82, 96-97, the four unnumbered leaves after 144, 157-159, and the final blank. With 108 (instead of 117) woodcuts in the text and printer's device at the end. Early 19th century half calf over papered boards with giltstamped spine label. Edges sprinkled. Early, if incomplete Latin edition of the famous "Narrenschiff", originally published in German verse in 1494 - also by Bergmann - and translated by the author's student Jacob Locher. One of literature's most famous satires and a milestone in the history of book illustration: many of the woodcuts depicting human foibles (here printed from the original blocks) are now attributed to the young Albrecht Dürer. Before Goethe's "Werther" arrived on the scene, this work was the most successful book ever published in Germany, immensely popular and read until it fell to pieces, and complete copies of the incunabular Basel editions are nearly unobtainable. - In his "Ship of Fools", Brant describes the voyage of a ship bearing one hundred fools, to the fools' paradise of Narragonia, thereby satirizing the follies of his time including representatives of every human and social type. "[T]he first original work by a German which passed into world literature [... it] helped to blaze the trail that leads from medieval allegory to modern satire, drama and novel of character" (PMM). Erwin Panofsky called the book "a remarkably complete mirror of human life", based upon the "universality of Brant's self-righteous surliness [...] and the picturesqueness of his metaphors" (Panofsky, p. 30). Incidentally, the book also contains the earliest literary reference to the discovery of America: "Hesperie occidue rex Ferdinandus: in alto Aequore nunc gentes repperit innumeras" ("Ferdinand, King of the West, recently discovered innumerable peoples across the high seas", fol. 76v). Tellingly, the humanist-printer Bergmann had published the famous "Columbus letter" in 1493. - Some browning and brownstaining; occasional underlinings by a near-contemporary hand (more frequent in the beginning and within the chapter on women). Folio b2 is loosened. Rebound in the 18th century (edges trimmed fairly closely). Small hole in the spine, otherwise well-preserved copy from the collection of the Swedish statesman and diplomat Lars von Engeström (1751-1826) with his engraved armorial bookplate (motto "speravit infestis", "hopeful in adversity") to pastedown.

‎[CALENDRIER].‎

‎Le Grand Calendrier et compost des Bergiers.‎

‎Paris, Payot, 1925. Petit in-4. Transcrit par Bertrand Guégan d'après l'édition troyenne de Nicolas le Rouge. Tiré à un nombre restreint d'exemplaires. Envoi du transcripteur à Gabriel Reuillard (écrivain et journaliste normand). Très bon état intérieur. Toile rouge. Nombreux tampons de Radio France et ORTF. Couvertures conservées.‎

‎Lusage des calendriers sest diffusé à partir du XIIe siècle dans les livres à usage des clercs tels que les psautiers, les missels ou les martyrologes. A la fin du Moyen Âge, les Livres dHeures débutent toujours par un calendrier qui indique les fêtes religieuses. Les calendriers et compost des bergers sont de nature différente. Edités pour "enseigner la science des bergers qui est science de lâme, du corps, des astres, de la vie et de la mort", ces livres sont en fait des compilations à usage pratique et moral destinées à un public laïc. Ils sinspirent douvrages médiévaux tels que "Le Livre des propriétés des choses" de Barthélémy lAnglais, les "Grandes Danses Macabres", les traités préparant les âmes au Jugement Dernier. Ils ont recours à lastrologie, très présente aux XVe et XVIe siècles. Les signes du zodiaque, les planches anatomiques, les danses macabres ou représentations des enfers, les représentations des activités agricoles ou artisanales pour chaque mois de lannée, doivent enrichir le texte pour guider lHomme vers son salut. Le premier compost des bergers fut imprimé à Paris par Guy Marchant en 1491 avant dêtre réédité à de nombreuses reprises dans les décennies suivantes. Pour lexemple de Troyes, les éditions se succèdent en 1497, 1503, 1510, 1529 et 1541. Les bois gravés qui illustrent ce dossier proviennent dun livre imprimé à Troyes en janvier 1529 par Nicolas Le Rouge, qui est conservé par la Médiathèque de lAgglomération troyenne (Bbl 651).

‎[China].‎

‎Kuang paper-money from the early Ming Dynasty. China, Ming dynasty, Hongwu era (1375-1398).‎

‎Ming dynasty 1 Kwan note of the Hung-wu era (1368-98), produced from 1375. Printed on grey mulberry bark paper, size ca. 335 x 222 mm. Framed and glazed. Extremely early example of a banknote, and a specimen of the largest paper money ever issued. The Chinese writing along the top of this Ming note reads "Da ming tong xing bao chao" (from right to left, in regular K'ai Shu style), which translates as "Great Ming Circulating Treasure Note". Below this, the denomination is written in two characters "yi guan" ("one string", then the equivalent of 1000 copper cash or one tael of purse silver or one-fourth tael of gold). Beneath the denomination is a picture of a string of 1000 coins, arranged in ten groups of one hundred coins. Beneath this are the instructions for use and a threat to punish forgers. - Paper very thin and fragile, with some very old repairs, partly faded and with some soiling, some folds. Traces of two faded red (vermilion) seal handstamps, one at each side. As these stamps typically tend to fade with time, they are not easily perceptible. These seals had the function of signatures on modern banknotes. The red imperial seal is applied on the reverse. The outer frame surrounding the text is ornamented with dragon patterns. On both sides of the centre are eight Chinese characters "Ta Ming Pao Ch'ao, Tien Hsia T'ung Hsing" (The Great Ming note, circulates everywhere) in Chuan Shu style. - The 1 Kuan note is the largest paper money ever issued. China was the first country in the world to use paper money (credit currency). The very earliest paper money notes date from the 11th and 12th centuries, but as only fragments of these are extant, they can only be described in very general terms. This kind of note was observed by Marco Polo in the 12th century, and he referred to it as "flying money". The oldest paper money of which a complete specimen survives is that from early Ming dynasty, dated 1375. These notes are the earliest numismatic prints, also the earliest obtainable commercial printing on paper, indeed very nearly the earliest obtainable printing of anything - a full lifetime before Gutenberg. Very few examples survive.‎

‎[Kinderskelett-Tafeln aus]: Externarum et internarum principalium humani corporis partium tabulae. [Nürnberg, Dietrich Gerlach, 1572].‎

‎2 rad. Tafeln (ca. 556 x 328 mm und 546 x 290 mm). Folio. Die beiden berühmten, nach Volcher Coiters Biographen Robert Herrlinger "vollends originell[en] und wegweisend[en]" Kinderskelett-Tafeln aus den "Externarum et internarum principalium humani corporis partium tabulae" (Nürnberg, 1572). Nachdem der jungverstorbene Mediziner Coiter (1534-76), ein in Nürnberg wirkender Friese, nach seiner Zeit in Italien an keiner Universität mehr lehrte, hatte das Werk zunächst nur einen sehr eingeschränkten Leserkreis, und seine "Auflage kann nicht groß gewesen sein" (Herrlinger, 57). Bei den hier vorliegenden Tafeln handelt es sich um "die ältesten bisher bekannten [Abbildungen] aus dem Gebiet der Embyrologie und Kinderanatomie. Es handelt sich um zwei große Falttafeln von über einem halben Meter Höhe [...] Die erste zeigt das Skelett eines halbjährigen Kindes von schräg vorne, die zweite von schräg hinten; auf dieser ist als 'Abb. 3' ein kleines Skelett einer dreimonatigen Fehlgeburt hinzugefügt [...] Alle Abbildungstafeln sind wie immer mit V.C.D. signiert. Wenn sie auch nicht völlig korrekt sind, so ist vor allem an den beiden großen Kinderskeletten bemerkenswert, wie Coiter versucht, in reiner Schwarz-Weiß-Technik Knorpel und Knochen als zwei verschiedene Materialien zu kennzeichnen: er punktiert den Knorpel und läßt den Knochen weiß. Noch heute ist diese Art der Knorpeldarstellung üblich [...] Coiters Kinderskelette haben Schule gemacht. Felix Platter bringt in seinem anatomischen Lehrbuch von 1583 ebenfalls, als zweiter, Kinderskelette, die ohne Coiter kaum denkbar sind [...] Wirklich neue, bessere Abbildungen vom foetalen und vom kindlichen Skelett gab erst Thomas Kerckring (1670). Coiters Abbildungen waren ein ganzes Jahrhundert lang maßgebend gewesen" (ebd., S. 80). - Etwas braunfleckig; kl. Einrisse alt hinterlegt. VD 16, ZV 3754. R.

With eleven plates ten of which are beautifully chromolithographed including three plates with richly illustrated ornamental borders and hand-drawn gilt accents. The eleventh plate is printed in brown with a floral frame for an ownership signature. That plate is attractively hand-illustrated in color and gilt with the text "Laure & Oscar 29 Octobre 1862" in manuscript. Some toning to versos and margins of plates. Otherwise a fine bright copy of a scarce book in a matching custom slipcase and chemise. Henri Léon Curmer 1801 – 1870 is best remembered for publishing a landmark chromolithographed edition of L'Imitation de Jesus-Christ 1856 printed by Joseph Lemercier and Jules Claye. McLean calls Curmer's publication a "masterpiece of French chromolithography…in which over four hundred pages are decorated in almost every known style of ornamentation in up to fourteen colors" including medieval Renaissance and Islamic examples Victorian Book Design p. 166. In A History of Chromolithography 2013 Michael Twyman wrote that the book "took chromolithography into new territory" and required an enormous amount of labor and resources p. 158. An average of ten to twelve impressions were required for each page and the printing process used over nine hundred stones.</p> L. Curmer, Éditeur‎

With 40 mounted hand-coloured plates beautifully reproducing the original designs Rococco chinoiserie designs 3 plates w/ old reinforced mounts at upper corners a few w/ old offsetting from the original glue. Preserved in the original quarter-chinoiserie cloth over boards printed illustrated label on front cover front tie loosened from the fore-edge edgewear rubbing still a nice complete set of these plates. First edition thus of this exceptional portfolio reproducing the exquisite and fanciful botanical settings landscapes and allegorical Chinese figures from this extraordinary artist. His chinoiserie engravings exaggerated the wispy and delicate qualities of the style portraying the world as a fairyland fileed with colour and fantasy. His 18th-Century Rococo designs were wildly popular by decorative arts manufacturers and applied to silk textiles porcelain pottery wallpapers and even silver. Pillement 1719-1808 had developed by 1764 a new method of printing on silk with fast colours and that also encouraged the durability and legacy of his designs. The majority of these were engraved by the noted woman artist & engraver Anne Allen a British artist who not only was the second wife to Pillement but created etchings based on his paintings by using the “a la poupee†or multi-colour Intaglio copperplate engraving style of printmaking which breathed life into the intricate scenes. This portfolio reproduces many of her portfolios as well as those executed by Gauthier Dagoty Canot Avril and Robert Cooper. Ernst Henri, hardcover‎
