First edition of these ancient texts on surveying edited by Galland and Adrien Turnèbe from a manuscript which they found in the library of a monastery of the Saint-Bertin at Saint-Omer.

1817réf. 14128Paris: A la Librairie d'Education d'Alexis Eymery.Et chez lAuteur. 1817 First edition of a rare book outlining a course of education for young girls. We were unable to locate another copy of this book in OCLC RLIN COPAC KVK or even the Biblliothèque Nationale. This is an abridgement of the author's other work Cours pratique d'Education à l'usage des jeunes Demoiselles which was published in three volumes from 1816 to 1817. This larger work is also rare. We could locate copies only in the Bibliothèque Nationale and Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen Germany. Contemporary mottled sheep gilt spine with brown morocco label. Lacks the front free endpaper. . Twelvemo. Sixteen engraved plates of calligraphic models following p. 42 included in the pagination large engraved folding map preceding the geography section and nine plates showing principles of design not included in the pagination after the art section. Musical notation in the text within the music section. With the printed preliminary leaf stating that this is an authorized book and not a piracy signed by the author and the publisher. Small chip at head of spine twentieth-century ownership marks on front pastedown. A little light foxing. Overall a very good copy of a rare book. Little is known of the author who is credited with several books on education. His Principes élementaire de lecture d'ecriture de musique et de dessin 1817 was also published by Eymery. OCLC cites one copy of that book at the University of Delaware. We suspect it is also an abridgement of Cours pratique d'Education but it is smaller than our book. The calligraphy plates are by Alexandre Bourgoin who was a celebrated writing master and wrote several books on the subject. His birth and death dates are not listed in any of the souces we checked.

A complete four-volume edition of the Arabian Nights translated into French from the Arabic manuscripts by Antoine Galland and subsequently rendered into English from the last Paris edition.

Galland's Les mille et une nuits originally issued in twelve volumes between 1704 and 1717 was the first European translation of the collection and was enormously influential in establishing the Arabian Nights in European literature. Antoine Galland 1646-1715 was a French orientalist antiquary and translator. His version of the Arabian Nights profoundly shaped European perceptions of Middle Eastern storytelling The collection is framed around Scheherazade or the Sultaness of the Indies who prolongs her life by telling the Sultan a succession of interconnected tales each night leaving her story unfinished. The enduring popularity of the tales in this collection helped establish the Arabian Nights as one of the most influential works of translated literature in 18th century Europe.

Rear board of vol I loose holding to cords. Contemporary ink ownership inscriptions to front paste downs. Hinges strained but generally firm. Slight discolouration from binder's glue to endpapers.
