Ben conservato con lievi segni del tempo sulla copertina e tenui arrossamenti delle carte; sui frontespizi leggeri aloni per il contatto con le tavole all'antiporta. Legatura coeva in mezza pelle nocciola con fregi dorati e in nero titoli dorati su tassello petrolio tagli spruzzati azzurri in diciottesimo cm 13 x 8.5 tre parti legate in un unico tomo ciascuna con propria antiporta incisa pp VIII 201 1 4 239 1 4 194 2. Segnatura: 4 1.1-1.176 4 2.1-2.206 3.1-3.166 3.174. Ben conservato. Graziosa minuta edizione primo ottocentesca di questo fortunato memoriale di viaggio in Italia del giurista francese Jean-Baptiste Mercier Du Paty sotto forma di lettere inviate ai famigliari. Il letterato compì il viaggio nel 1785 con l'intenzione di documentarsi sui sistemi giuridici della penisola: partito dal Sud della Francia le prime lettere trattano di Avignone e Vaucluse Toulon Nizza e Monaco Dupaty soggiornò a Genova lettere VII-XXII Lucca XXIII Pisa XXIV Firenze XXV-XLIII si trattenne a lungo a Roma lettere XLIV-XCII l'intera seconda parte dell'opera e l'inizio della terza e a Napoli XCIII-CXVI con escursioni a Portici XCVI Salerno XCVII Paestum XCVIII Vesuvio C e Pompei CXII. Accanto a note su monumenti chiese e opere d'arte l'autore offre liriche descrizioni di stampo pre-romantico dei paesaggi e delle rovine e - cosa non comune nella letteratura odeporica dell'epoca - acute osservazioni sulla situazione politica giuridica e sociale italiana le carceri la criminalità e la corruzione; le critiche allo stato pontificio valsero alle Lettres la seppur tardiva messa all'Indice nel 1826. L'opera conobbe notevole successo in Francia e in altri paesi d'Europa con numerose ristampe e traduzioni in diverse lingue. Lo stesso piccolo formato di questa edizione portatile suggerisce lo status di "best seller" del Grand Tour ed in linea con tale sensibilità all'antiporta della seconda e terza parte si trovano uno scorcio di Tivoli e una veduta del Vesuvio in eruzione con piccole figure di turisti che ammirano il paesaggio; queste antiporte sono incise da Jacques-Joseph Coiny mentre quella della prima parte col ritratto dell'autore è firmata C.E. Gaucher da invenzione di C.J. Notté. Wilson The literary travelogue p. 10: "Under the convenient disguise of letters to his family Dupaty the distinguished jurist embraces a variety of subjects that extend far beyond landscapes and tourist attractions. . Dupaty gives dramatic and thoughtful descriptions of paintings statues and landscapes but he also enriches the narrative with perceptive evaluations of the social and legal conditions in the Italian city-states. He also occasionally intersperses prose descriptions of nature with verse quotations some which are his own translations of the Latin Elegaic poets. Roman ruins inspire the author with melancholy reveries . but he scrutinizes the different legal systems most of which are terribly corrupt and penal codes with the eye of a professional lawyer"; Boucher de la Richarderie II p. 498: "On croira facilement que frappé comme l'étoit Dupaty des vices de la législation criminelle en France il a porté une vue attentive sur celle des divers Etats de l'Ita-lie: c'est une des parties de son Voyage où il a montré le plus de sagacité dans ses observations."; Fossati Bellani I 417; Barbier II 10439.

I only have moderate foxing & age-browning. Jean-Baptiste Mercier Dupaty 1746-1788 French magistrate and man of letters. Lettres sur L'Italie first published in 1785 was a significant work of enlightenment travel writing in which Dupaty 'transformed Rousseau’s moralized philosophy into a historicized aesthetic in a series of letters suffused with a powerful emotional style'. Dupaty's descriptions of walking through the city 'provided his readers with an effective means of reinscribing the intimate presence of history into their own wanderings through Rome. This kind of wandering in the imagined footsteps of the ancients was a way to see the world through a mobile gaze that connected the walker directly to the sights and sounds that had inspired writers from the past' Atkinson & Caviglia 2018 'Making sense of Rome in the eighteenth century' Word & Image 34.3 p. 221. The work was immediately popular in France although Dupaty's critique of the Vatican saw it placed on the Index. ~Robust packaging. Overseas tracking available on request.
