"Description de l'Egypte ou Recueil des observations et des recherches qui ont été faites en Egypte pendant l'expédition de l'armée française." When Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Egypt in 1798 he brought with him an entourage of more than 160 scholars and scientists. Known as the French Commission on the Sciences and Arts of Egypt these experts undertook an extensive survey of the country's archeology topography and natural history. . For four years more than 150 artists engineers linguists and scientists traveled throughout the country examining almost every aspect of ancient and contemporary Egypt. They recorded and measured in meticulous detail Egypt's topography flora and fauna and its ancient and contemporary architecture. A soldier who was part of the expedition found the famous Rosetta Stone which the French linguist and scholar Jean-François Champollion 1790-1832 later used to unlock many of the mysteries that long had surrounded the language of ancient Egypt. The Egyptian expedition ended with a total military failure. The French left Egypt in 1801 with the honors of war but defeated; yet military failure remains a significant event in the history of knowledge because it is the first time a military expedition was accompanied by a scientific expedition. In 1802 Napoleon authorized the publication of the commission's findings in a monumental multi-volume work that included plates maps scholarly essays and a detailed index. Publication of the original Imperial edition began in 1809 and continued to 1822 sold by subscription. It proved so popular that a second edition was published under the post-Napoleonic Bourbon Restoration. The "Royal edition" published in Paris by C.L.F. Panckoucke from 1820-1830. The Second edition consists of 11 or 12 volumes of plates in folio and 24 of text bound as 26 8vo.

Histoire Ecclesiastique Tome Premier 1691 First edition

1691Best.-Nr. LR057HISTOIRE ECCLESIASTIQUE par Mr. Fleury Pretre Abbe de Loc-Dieu sous-precepteur de Monseigneur le Duc de Bourgogne & de Monseigneur le Duc d'Anjou. Paris: Pierre Emery etc. 1691 First edition. Full mottled calf gilt with lettering-pieces and five raised bands to spine. Title woodcut and copper-engraved headpiece with history scene by Sebastien LeClerc. All gilt edges. A thorough theological historical and anecdotal chronicle of the Catholic Church from the time of the Evangelists to 1595. Claude Fleury 6 December 1640 Paris – 14 July 1723 Paris was a French ecclesiastical historian. Destined for the bar he was educated at the aristocratic College de Clermont now that of Louis-le-Grand. In 1658 he was nominated an advocate to the parlement of Paris and for nine years followed the legal profession. But he had long been of a religious disposition and in 1667 turned from law to theology. He had been some time in orders when Louis XIV in 1672 selected him as tutor of the princes of Conti with such success that the king next entrusted to him the education of the count of Vermandois one of his natural sons on whose death in 1683 Fleury received for his services the Cistercian abbey of Loc-Dieu in the diocese of Rodez. In 1689 he was appointed sub-preceptor of the dukes of Burgundy of Anjou and of Berry and thus became intimately associated with Fénelon their chief tutor. In 1696 he was elected to fill the place of La Bruyère in the Académie française; and on the completion of the education of the young princes the king bestowed upon him the rich priory of Argenteuil in the diocese of Paris 1706. On assuming this benefice he resigned with rare disinterestedness that of the abbey of Loc-Dieu. About this time he began his great work the first of the kind in France and one for which he had been collecting materials for thirty years—the Histoire ecclésiastique. Fleury's evident intention was to write a history of the church for all classes of society; but at the time in which his great work appeared it was less religion than theology that absorbed the attention of the clergy and the educated public; and his work accordingly appealed to the student rather than to the popular reader dwelling as it does very particularly on questions of doctrine of discipline of supremacy and of rivalry between the priesthood and the imperial power. Nevertheless it had a great success. The first edition printed at Paris in 20 volumes 4to 1691 was followed by many others among which may be mentioned that of Brussels in 32 vols 8vo 1692 and that of Nîmes in 25 vols 8vo 1778 to 1780.
