1844rif. 87756Paris, 1844-1892, in-8, 24 plaquettes, couvertures conservées, Demi-chagrin rouge de l'époque, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, monogramme G.M. en pied du dos [Galien Mingaud], Joli recueil d'opuscules divers publiés par le pharmacien et naturaliste du Gard Philippe Mingaud (1819-1904), réunis et reliés vers 1893-1894, à l'intention de son fils Galien-Philippe Mingaud (1854-1912). L'ouvrage ouvre sur l'ex-dono manuscrit du père, signé à Paris et daté du 20 mai 1893 : "Ce volume est réservé à mon fils Galien. Souvenir affectueux de son père". Plusieurs portraits photographiques de l'auteur en médaillon apparaissent dans le recueil : au début de l'ouvrage, un cliché au format carte de visite [58 x 98 mm] représente Mingaud à l'âge de 75 ans ; sur un autre cliché, plus petit [20 x 30 mm], qui apparait à plusieurs reprises, il a à peu près le même âge ; un troisième cliché [55 x 65 mm] le représente cette fois-ci plus jeune, âgé de 46 ans. Quelques pièces portent le cachet de l'auteur (Mingaud. Conférencier scientifique. Paris) et certaines sont enrichies de notes manuscrites. Philippe Mingaud, pharmacien de première classe de l'École supérieure de Montpellier, fonda en 1844 une pharmacie normale et un cabinet d'histoire naturelle à Saint-Jean-du-Gard, dans les Cévennes. Dans les alentours, il fit la découverte d'importantes mines métallifères de gisements minéraux. Il s'installa à Paris en 1858 et fit don de sa collection au musée de Nîmes. Son fils, Galien-Philippe, s'occupa de minéralogie à ses côtés. Les pièces du présent recueil comprennent les travaux de Mingaud parus entre 1844 et les années 1880, ainsi que des recensions sur ses travaux. Elles ont été reliées dans l'ordre suivant : ? Travaux de Mingaud entre 1844 et 1865 : Grand établissement pour la fabrication des eaux minérales artificielles de Mingaud fils, chimiste à Saint Jean-du-Gard.

Only Edition of an extended literary joke by the brilliant antiquarian engraver art patron and connoisseur the Comte de Caylus. He exercised his stylistic muscles in this peculiar collection of two dozen literary pieces revolving around the word manteau: in part 1 racy anecdotes short stories fairy tales and a chivalric tale written in pseudo-archaic French; and in part 2 tongue-in-cheek erudite essays in several styles — the religious history the antiquarian disquisition the etymological or bibliographical analysis — all laced with fictional and a few real references including imaginary medieval manuscripts. A glance at the entry for manteau in the online Trésor de la Langue Française gives an idea of the semantic opportunities offered by this word whose appearances in many idiomatic expressions are exhaustively exploited by Caylus. In part 1 appear the manteau de fourrure fur coat the manteau de lit a short bed-jacket into which a jealous husband is metamorphosed by his fairy mother-in-law to teach him a lesson the long and short coat the chimney mantel same word in French and a portrait of a remarkable old man presented as the fictional originator of the term “sous le manteau” clandestine or clandestinely. In part 2 which its title notes with a wink “one doesn’t need to read” the author delves into the Roman pallium a cloak the coats of saints and clerics those both heraldic and actual of Dukes and Peers and the order of the Blancs-Manteaux. Completing the picture are a florilegium of dictionary extracts and a satirical etymological comparison of the French manteau with other languages containing sentences like: “As for the letter L which is found at the end of words like Mantel and Mantello one can very well understand it to be a diminutive of the Arabic word Allah meaning God” p. 103. The self-imposition of arbitrary constraints onto one’s writing while an ancient practice viz. poetic meter have been associated more recently with a French literary movement from the 1960s known as Oulipo short for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle ”workship of potential literature” which included the great French authors Raymond Queneau and Georges Perec whose wry humor and doggedness in pursuing the conceit to the end Caylus foreshadowed.

1658rif. 15988Paris: Chez Pierre Mariette rue S.t Iacques a l'Esperance 1658. 457 by 572mm. 18 by 22.5 inches. Hand-coloured engraved map. The second state of the plate published separately and extensively corrected with the addition of: the four cardinal points added midway along the graticule scale around the map; 'ou Saycock a io 10 Roy.mes' and'ou Tokoesi a 4. R.'; and additional titles for the 'kingdoms' throughout the map. Hubbard points out that this is "an enormous number of corrections for the engraver Somer to make" although many other errors remain. Briet 1601-1668 came from the same town Abbeville as Nicolas Sanson I and examples of this map have been found in composite atlases largely made up of maps by Sanson. Sanson and Mariette who published this map also had a business relationship that eventually ended badly. The engraver Jan van Somer worked for Sanson in Paris. A Jesuit from 1619 Briet was also a teacher of humanities and rhetoric. He wrote literature as well as history and historical geography. He published his 'Paralella Geographica' in 1648 and 1649 with 144 maps of Europe. He had intended further volumes of maps of the other continents but only managed a manuscript for the Asia volume which was never published. Many of the maps from the original work were republished in his 'Theatre Geographique de L'Europe' and 'Theatrum Geographicum Europae Veteris' in 1653. Hubbard 31.2.

1685rif. 743Lyon: Jean Girin & Barthélemy Rivière 1685. First edition. A landmark in the cultural and scientific history of coffee tea and chocolate — the three “new beverages” of early modern Europe. Written by Philippe Sylvestre Dufour 1622–1687 a Lyon apothecary physician and merchant this 1685 first edition is among the earliest treatises devoted to the preparation medicinal properties and social virtues of these drinks. Dufour discusses the origin of coffee in the Ottoman Empire tea in China and cacao in the Americas blending pharmacological observation with moral reflection on their consumption. The work marks an important moment in the spread of global trade and early modern dietary theory illustrating how exotic imports became staples of European life and medicine. Illustrated with three full-page engravings and an engraved frontispiece including a striking depiction of an Ottoman coffee drinker a Chinese tea ceremony and a native American holding a chocolate vessel. These plates helped define the visual iconography of coffee and chocolate in the 17th century. Dufour’s Traitez became the foundational French-language reference on these drinks influencing subsequent European authors. This copy shows early marginal notes and the presence of all plates noted for the true first edition confirming its completeness and authenticity. Condition & Binding: Contemporary full mottled calf spine gilt in compartments with floral ornaments and gilt title “TRAITÉ DU CAFÉ.” Light rubbing and edge wear; some cracking along joints but binding remains solid and entirely original. Mild staining and toning to a few leaves; scattered foxing consistent with age. Engravings crisp and well-inked showing excellent impression quality. Early manuscript notes on title and endpaper likely from an 18th-century hand. Overall- good. Jean Girin & Barthélemy Rivière unknown
