ELEGANT EARLY 19TH CENTURY RED STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO VERY ELABORATELY GILT BY BOZERIAN unsigned but see below covers framed by bead-and-star roll enclosed with double gilt fillets leaf tools at corners. smooth spine in compartments with large central fleuron of floral lancets emanating from central circlet in a richly stippled ground small circles at corners one compartment with gilt lettering cresting tulip and violet roll at foot of spine turn-ins with bead-and-star roll marbled endpapers vellum flyleaves all edges gilt.

Willems 552; Rahir 546; USTC 1027918. For the binding: Culot "Jean Claude Bozerian" Roulette 9 Plate I and Palette 12 Plate X. Just barely perceptible rubbing to joints and extremities one leaf with tiny burn hole affecting a couple of words intermittent minor foxing negligible ink spots here and there other trivial imperfections but an extremely attractive copy the text fresh and clean and the very well-preserved binding with lustrous leather and bright gilt. This is a remarkably pretty copy of an extremely influential but generically elusive work printed by a legendary press and bound by the founder of a celebrated French binding dynasty. First published in 1524 the "Colloquia" comprise 63 conversations originally written for Erasmus' students on varied and overlapping topics but these urbane meditations soon became widely read as they covered subjects that intrigued the important thinkers of the day. Their influence was so profound that it is not saying too much to claim that they helped to speed the Reformation. Although they are difficult to classify precisely one could categorize them as including in general terms exposure of ritualistic fallacies invective against corruption within the church examination of popular imposture deploring of contemporary personal sins practical advice for laymen and miscellaneous discussion of amusing topics. In specific terms the text takes on such controversial topics as the value of pilgrimage celibacy and abstinence from meat on Fridays and other prescribed days. Erasmus' "Colloquia" was frequently published by the Elzeviers once in French and a total of nine times in Latin. The text was universally adopted for school use up through the 18th century. Although our lovely little binding is unsigned Culot firmly identifies its tools as those used by Jean-Claude Bozerian 1762-1840. He was the elder of the Bozerian brothers François is referred to as "le jeune" and was active in Paris from 1795 to about 1810. He began his career in Lyon as an apprentice bookseller printer and bookbinder eventually deciding to focus on the latter craft. Marriage to the widow of binder Pierre Boulier allowed him to establish a binding workshop in Paris where he was joined by his brother. His bindings were soon much in demand by French bibliophiles who appreciated their superior materials tasteful design and flawless execution--all characteristics that are plainly evident in the present case.

This Elzevier printing of the first lexicon of New Testament Greek comes in an elegant binding and with illustrious provenance. First printed in 1619 the "Manuale" is the work of German philologist Georg Pasor 1570-1637 and was the authority on New Testament Greek throughout the 17th century. Printed by Bonaventure and Abraham Elzevier our volume is bound in the style of the venerable English artisan Roger Payne using the straight-grain morocco process developed by Payne with delicately tooled gilt panels framing the cover. The supralibros of a man whose love of books brought him to ruin was added at the center both boards sometime before 1817. The coronet above the griffin indicates that George Spencer-Churchill 1766-1840 was at that time the Marquess of Blandford before his father's death in 1817 made him the 5th Duke of Marlborough. According to DNB "He spent great sums on his gardens and his library at White Knights near Reading." His extravagance eventually ruined him financially and most of his collection had to be auctioned during his lifetime. According to the University of Toronto's "British Armorial Bindings" this volume was Lot 3017 in the sale of the "Distinguished and Celebrated" White Knights Library conducted by R. H. Evans of London in June of 1819; it sold for eight shillings. Our book was later sold at Sotheby's on 13 June 1934 lot 725; the catalogue for that sale described the binding as "in the style of Roger Payne."

Chaque ouvrage a la sphère en page de titre . Reliure d'époque plein veau . Dos à nerfs orné de 3fleurons. Légers frottement en coiffes, mors et coins, mais bel exemplaire, d'une grande fraîcheur intérieure.Cet ouvrage aurait été commandité part la Duchesse d'Aiguillon, nièce du cardinal, on sait par ailleurs que Aubery fut un des écrivains officiels de la cour au XVIIe. L'apologie du cardinal par Aubery y est donc moins intéressante que ce tournant de l'histoire de France que représente le cardinal de Richelieu, et les multiples affaires européennes que relatent l'auteur.
