1796ref. 71224Paris: De l'Imprimerie de P. Didot l'aîné 1796. Fine. De l'Imprimerie de P. Didot l'aîné Paris 1796 23 x 31.50 cm relié New edition revised by the author illustrated with 4 copper-engraved plates by Morel after drawings by Chaudet Cohen col. 927. A sumptuous publication from the press of Pierre Didot l'aîné the foremost printer of his day. This edition is distinguished from all previous ones by its entirely renewed illustration in a neoclassical spirit in keeping with the aesthetic of the Directoire period. It is the first to have been revised by the author himself. Contemporary binding in full red morocco spine with five raised bands richly decorated with gilt dentelles fillets and fleurons boards framed with a double gilt dentelle gilt roll on the turn-ins and headbands pastedowns and doublures framed with a gilt dentelle of marbled paper all edges gilt. The first edition of Les Saisons published in 1769 had secured Saint-Lambert's reputation and earned him a seat at the Académie française with the support of Voltaire who wrote of the poem: « C'est le seul ouvrage de notre siècle qui passera à la postérité. » The present edition appears at a singular moment: two years after the abolition of slavery voted by the Convention on 4 February 1794 and at a time when Saint-Lambert then eighty years old was himself revising his work for the last major edition of his lifetime. The choice of Didot as printer whose productions then represented the pinnacle of French typographical luxury and the very date of publication lend this volume a significance that goes well beyond a simple reprint. The work contains in addition to the long poem in four cantos devoted to the seasons and its preface on bucolic and pastoral poetry the tales L'Abénaki Sara Th. Ziméo the Pièces fugitives and the Fables orientales. The latter open with a ""Préface de Saadi"" an explicit attribution new to this edition relative to those of 1769 and 1775 of the free adaptation of the preface to the Gulistan the ""Rose Garden"" 13th century that has appeared in the collection since the first edition. It is in this author-revised edition that Saint-Lambert publicly acknowledges his debt to Persian literature at the very moment when the first complete French translation of the Gulistan had just appeared abbé Gaudin 1789. It is through Ziméo included in the collection since the first edition of 1769 that Saint-Lambert's work occupies a singular place in the literary history of the Enlightenment. One of the rare texts of this period to stage a slave insurrection where Voltaire in Candide had sketched only a solitary figure of revolt this tale constructs an African hero of full epic dignity and predates both the insurgent figure in Louis-Sébastien Mercier 1771 and the celebrated antislavery passage of the Histoire philosophique des deux Indes attributed to Diderot which did not appear until the 1780 edition. It is worth noting however that this 1796 edition unlike its predecessors does not reproduce the ""Réflexions sur les Nègres"" that followed Ziméo in the editions of 1769 and 1775 a text in which Saint-Lambert had argued that the faults attributed to Africans « sont de l'esclavage » and not of nature. This omission occurring barely two years after the abolition decree remains difficult to interpret with certainty: an editorial choice dictated by the luxurious format of the publication a calculated discretion in a still unstable political climate in which the colonial question was far from settled under the Directoire. unless this very absence of advocacy is precisely the sign of the triumph of the humanist ideals for which the author no longer needed to argue having been fully vindicated by the Convention which voted the abolition of slavery on 4 February 1794 16 Pluviôse Year II. A fine copy in a handsome contemporary binding of full red morocco of the definitive edition revised by the author published two years after the abolition of slavery. De l'Imprimerie de P.

1775ref. 48828Paris: S. n. 1775. Fine. First illustration of Zimeo the first Black insurgent hero in French literature S. n. Paris 1775 - relié Seventh edition first to illustrate Zimeo adorned with 7 plates by Moreau le Jeune: a frontispiece and 4 plates for Les Saisons engraved by Delaunay Duclos Prévost and Simonet and 2 plates for the Contes Poésies fugitives and Fables orientales together with 4 headpiece vignettes by Choffard. Our copy is further enriched with separate pulls of the title-page ornament and Choffard's vignettes. Nineteenth-century binding in full midnight-blue morocco. Five-raised-band spine decorated with pastoral flowers vine wheat and billhook game and hunting horn. and gilt compartments. Triple gilt fillet and geometric gilt lace border to boards. Wide gilt lace border to doublures of marbled paper. Upper joint rubbed. The first edition of Les Saisons published in 1769 with illustrations by Gravelot and Le Prince had secured Saint-Lambert's reputation and earned him a place at the Académie française. The present seventh edition Cohen/Ricci Sp. 926; Sander 1779 retaining the fictitious imprint « Amsterdam » concealing a Parisian printer is the first to include an illustration for Zimeo the anti-slavery philosophical tale that had been part of the volume since the first edition:Moreau's frontispiece captioned ""j'aimerai deux blancs dit-il"" gives a face for the first time to the first Black insurgent hero in French literature.The volume contains in addition to the long poem in four cantos devoted to the seasons and its preface on bucolic and pastoral poetry the tales L'Abénaki Sara Th. Zimeo the Pièces fugitives and the Fables orientales. The Fables orientales open with a prefatory text constituting a free adaptation of the preface to Saadi's Gulistan the « Rose Garden » 13th century. This adaptation is not yet attributed to Saadi in the table of contents it would be in the 1796 edition yet it represents one of the rare French versions of this text available between André du Ryer's partial translation 1634 and the first complete translation by the abbé Gaudin 1789. It is above all through the anti-slavery philosophical tale Zimeo included in the collection since the first edition that this work by Saint-Lambert holds a singular place in European literary history. This philosophical tale is one of the rare Enlightenment texts to stage a slave insurrection where Voltaire in Candide had sketched only a solitary figure of revolt. Drawing on Aphra Behn's Oroonoko 1688 translated into French by La Place in 1745 Saint-Lambert constructs a Black hero endowed with full epic dignity and appends to the narrative « Réflexions sur les Nègres » in which he systematically dismantles racial prejudice asserting that the faults attributed to Africans « sont de l'esclavage » and not of nature. Chronologically Zimeo precedes the figure of the rebel in Louis-Sébastien Mercier 1771 and the celebrated anti-slavery passage of the Histoire philosophique des deux Indes attributed to Diderot which did not appear until 1780. The present 1775 edition is precisely the first to furnish the tale with an illustration: Moreau le Jeune's frontispiece depicting Zimeo rescuing two white captives gives a visual image for the first time to Saint-Lambert's Black hero at the very moment when the abolitionist debate was beginning to gather momentum in France.
