‎"MORERI, LOUIS.‎

‎Le grand Dictionnaire historique, ou le mélange curieux de l'Histoire sacrée et profane... Dix-huitieme et derniere Edition, Revue, corrigée e& augmentée très considérablement. 8 Vols. (A-Z, all).‎

‎Amsterdam, Leiden, La haye, utrecht, P. brunel, R. Wetstein etc., 1740. Folio. Bound in 8 uniform contemp. hcalf. raised bands, gilt spines, titlelabel in leather with gilt lettering. Marbled covers. One cover with some scratches. Otherwise fine, spines only slightly rubbed. Engraved frontispiece. Small stamp at foot of titlepages ""Holstein=Holsteinborg"". Internally fine.‎

‎A fine edition of one of the first modern Encyclopedias. From 1674 to 1750, this important predecessor to modern encyclopedias went through twenty editions, before it finally succumbed to the Encyclopedie ou dictionnaire des sciences, des arts et des metiers. Moreri designed his encyclopedic work partly as a defense of the worldview of the Roman Catholic Church, and that editorial approach prompted competition from a rival encyclopedia, Pierre Bayle's Dictionnaire Historique et Critique, also in this exhibit. Moreri's work is noteworthy for its emphasis on historical and biographical entries, neglected by Bayle as well as by other competitors such as Ephraim Chamber's Cyclopedia. - PMM: 155 (the first edition of 1674).‎

""Trods disse iøjnefaldende Svagheder tror vi dog at turde hævde, at Videnskabernes Selskabs Ordbog vil være af blivende Betydning for Kendskabet til vort Modersmaals og dets Ordforraads Historie særlig i Tiden fra det 17de til den første Halvdel af det 19de aarhundrede.

‎A dictionary English, German and French, Containing not only the English words in their Alphabetical Order, together with their several significations but also their proper accent, phrases (...) - Englisch-Teutsch-Franzosisch Lexicon, worinnen nicht... - [FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST ENGLISH/GERMAN DICTIONARY]‎

‎Leipzig, Thomas Fritschen, 1706. 4to. In contemporary full vellum with yapp edges and gilt lettering to spine. All edges coloured in red. Light wear to extremities. Ex-libris (Carl Juel, Danish statesman and owner of Valdemar's Castle) pasted on to pasted down front end-paper. Two-line note in contemporary hand to front free end-paper. First 5 leaves evenly browned. A very nice and clean copy. (14), 786 pp. + frontispiece depicting Sophia Electress of Hanover, Hereditary Princess of England, mother of George I.‎

‎The very rare first edition of this important and influential first English/German dictionary: “Thus when, in 1706, Ludwig inaugurated the history of bilingual German/English lexicography, it was as a somewhat late first entrant to the history of bilingual dictionaries among what we might today consider the ‘major’ languages of Europe, and certainly notably later than English–French, English–Spanish, English–Italian and English–Dutch lexicography. It is telling that Ludwig had recourse to the older practice of adapting an existing bilingual source. There were as yet no monolingual German dictionaries on which to draw.” (McLelland, Christian Ludwig (1660–1728) and the beginnings of German/English lexicography) Ludwig’s dictionary was not only the first but also so good it was do dominate the market for an entire century. The first leaves comprise a long dedication to Sophia, Electress of Hanover. For a time it looked as if she was to succeed to the throne of England, hence the relative sudden interest in Germany of such a dictionary. Sophia died less than two months before she would have become Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Consequently, her son George I became King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1 August 1714. “Dedicating his 1706 dictionary to Sophia, Electoral Princess and duchess-dowager of Hanover, Ludwig remarked on the change in Anglo-German relations from previous entfremdung und widerwillen (‘alienation and antipathy’) to eine erwünschte vereinigung (‘a desired unification’) through the anticipated royal dynastic connection. In 1716 Ludwig similarly pointed out that his German–English dictionary was timely (‘an der zeit’), since the ascent of the Hanoverian George I to the throne in 1714 meant English and German people were now ‘würcklich verknüpfft’ (‘really connected’). (McLelland, Christian Ludwig (1660–1728) and the beginnings of German/English lexicography). It was reprinted in 1736, 1763 and 1791.‎

Vol. 1-18, 20-30, 32-38 and the 2 supplement volumes (both 1713).‎

‎The exceedingly rare first edition of Luxembourg’s first newspaper, and periodical in general, which appeared for the first time in July 1704. It was then published monthly, without interruption, until July 1794. The early volumes of the journal are rarely found in trade and we have not been able to trace a single multiple-volume set with the supplement included. Behind the newspaper were initially the librarian, printer and journalist Claude Jordan (born around 1659) from Valence, and the printer André Chevalier (1660-1747), a Frenchman from Bourg-en-Bresse, who had a printing press in Luxembourg city. Jordan had previously published the Gazettes de Hollande in Leyden and Amsterdam. In 1704, the two joined forces to produce a newspaper from Luxembourg aimed at the Lorraine region (which was then independent of France) and the French market, following the model of the Gazettes de Hollande.‎

‎Fifth edition of Pierre Bayle’s landmark work, one of the most influential works of early modern thought: ""for over half a century, until the publication of the [Diderot's] Encyclopédie, Bayle's Dictionnaire dominated enlightened thinking in every part of Europe"" (PMM). More than an encyclopedia, it challenged religious dogma, promoted historical accuracy and laid the groundwork for the Enlightenment. It became a key reference for thinkers like Voltaire, Diderot, and Hume. ”Bayle’s six-million word Historical and Critical Dictionary (1697" 1702) was so often cited in the eighteenth century that Ernst Cassirer has called it the “Arsenal of the Enlightenment”. Inventories of private European libraries have established the Dictionary as one of the bestsellers of its age. David Hume was clearly influenced by it he told his friend Michael Ramsay in a letter of 1737 that if he wished to understand his writings he should read Descartes, Malebranche, Berkeley, and “some of the more metaphysical Articles of Bailes Dictionary" such as [those of] Zeno and Spinoza” ” (SEP) In 1689, Bayle began making notes on errors and omissions in Louis Moreri's Grand Dictionaire historique (1674), previous encyclopedia, and these notes developed into his own Dictionnaire. Bayle used the dictionary to provide evidence of the irrationality of Christianity, to promote his views about religious tolerance and his anti-authoritarian views on the topic of faith. Bayle indended it to be an ""anti-clerical counterblast to Moreri's [Le Grand Dictionnaire Historique, 1674], in order, as he put it, 'to rectify Moreri's mistakes and fill the gaps'. Bayle championed reason against belief, philosophy against religion, tolerance against superstition"" (PMM) Graesse I, 314. Brunet I 711PMM 155b.‎
