rif. 009206François de Salignac de la Mothe-Fénelon, dit Fénelon, Les aventures de Télémaque. Londres, White, Cochrane & Co, 1812. 2 volumes in-8, LXXI-289p & [2]-434p. Nouvelle édition illustrée d'un frontispice d'après Vivien et de 24 planches par Manceau. L'exemplaire est enrichi de 39 gravures supplémentaires, dont 1 frontispice et 25 planches gravées par Robert de Launay d'après les dessins de Charles Monnet (une deux états, avant et après la lettre - T.II, 269 -, planches contrecollées sur vergé fort), 12 planches par Clément-Pierre Marillier et un portrait en médaillon par E Desrochers. Exemplaire imprimé sur beau papier vélin. Exemplaire enrichi de deux rares L.A.S. de Fénelon offertes par Jules Van Praet à Ferdinand Baeyens en 1880 (l'exemplaire contient la lettre de Van Praet jointe aux lettres de Fénelon et une lettre explicative de Baeyens) : .21 septembre 1703 : 2p in-4 avec adresse et cachet de cire aux armes au dos du 2e feuillet. Adressée au chanoine Philippe-Charles Robert, chanoine de Leuze à Mons (Belgique), ami de Port-Royal. Intéressante lettre dont une partie concerne la conduite des supérieurs envers les inférieurs et des inférieurs envers les supérieurs. « Je n'aime que la douceur et je voudrais n'employer que les moyens de persuasion ». La seconde partie mentionne, sans le nommer, le père Quesnel. « On a compris par les lettres que votre ami devait me venir voir ». En effet, ce projet de rencontre, qui s'était su, avait provoqué une enquête à laquelle Fénelon avait aussitôt réussi à mettre fin, peut-être grâce à son sermon du 31 juillet 1703. « On m'a demandé ce que c'était, et j'ai répondu ingénument d'une manière qui décharge pleinement sur ce point vous et vos amis ainsi ce n'est plus un mystère ». Il invite donc à nouveau Robert à Cambrai, en octobre. Cette lettre est fameuse et est éditée depuis longtemps dans les ouvres et correspondances de Fénelon (mal datée toutefois - 2 septembre au lieu de 21 septembre). On la retrouve ainsi dès 1787 (Ouvres, Tome I, p.566), en 1827 (Correspondance, T.II, p.454, lettre n°90), en 1837 (La vraie et solide vertu sacerdotales recueillie des ouvres de Fénelon par Dupanloup, p.629). Elle porte aujourd'hui le n°935 de la correspondance. Provenances : M. Dubois (vente Charavay, 1866, n°59) ; Laurent Veydt (1800-1877) (vente Charavay, 1878, n°420) ; Jules Van Praet (1806-1887) ; Ferdinand Baeyens (1837-1914). .10 décembre 1711 : 1p in-4. Adressée au prieur des Augustins d'Enghien, vraisemblablement Jacques Ignace van Bossuyt (1669-1727). La teneur de la lettre pourrait laisser supposer que le prieur ne l'est que depuis peu et on sait jusque que Bossuyt devient prieur avant 1715. Elle ne porte pas de numéro dans la correspondance, marquée uniquement « p.m. » (entre n°1510 & 1511). A propos d'un jugement que Fénelon ne peut empêcher. Il va écrire au doyen de Chevres (?) afin que son correspondant puisse s'accommoder avec le doyen d'Enghien pour un « salut [du Saint Sacrement] avec l'exposition du S. Sacrement ». Provenances : Laurent Veydt (1800-1877) (vente Charavay, 1878, n°424) ; Jules Van Praet (1806-1887) ; Ferdinand Baeyens (1837-1914). Reliure signée Paul-Joseph Claessens (1861-1909), relié selon toute logique pour Baeyens, plein maroquin vert bouteille, dos à nerfs très décoré, triple filet sur les plats, double filet sur les coupes, dentelle en bordure des contreplats, tranches dorées, étui papier. Rousseurs claires, mors supérieur du tome 1 craquelé sur 1 cm. Magnifique exemplaire enrichi de deux très rares lettres.

This is a very well-preserved copy of the luxury version of one of the most impressive French illustrated books of the 18th century offered in a Neoclassical binding appropriate for its contents. Ray says that in our volume "all the formal elements of the mid-18th century French masterpieces are present." He describes the 25 plates as "stately and elaborate" and singles out Picart's frontispiece which he reproduces in one of the rare full-page illustrations in his book as being "developed with exceptional spirit and inventiveness." Not only the handsome plates but also the leafy frames of each text page the large type and the many charming headpieces and tailpieces make it an elegant object that provides for a visually memorable experience. Fénelon 1651-1715 wrote this utopian work for Louis XIV's grandson whom he was employed to tutor. The book was designed to give the future ruler more farsighted political social and economic ideas than he might otherwise have met with. Unfortunately the boy died before he could come to power and Fénelon fell into disgrace partly because "Telemaque" reflected badly on the government of Louis. According to Graesse our "beautiful" edition supervised by the marquis de Fénelon is much more correct than previous printings as a great many errors have been corrected and lacunae have been filled in. While the unsigned binding is not quite up to the level of émigré binders Kalthoeber and Staggemeier & Welcher it is in their style and is certainly impressive enough to look handsome on the shelf. Former owner Arthur Meyer 1844-1924 was a French press baron whose collection focused on fine bindings and beautiful illustrations. Wetstein & G. Smith; Rotterdam: Jean Hofhout unknown

Super royal 4to. With 98 hand-coloured plates namely two engraved title pages in volume 1 resp. by Augustin de St. Aubin and Montulay 72 illustration plates engraved by Jean-Baptiste Tilliard after drawings by Charles Monnet and 24 engraved plates with summaries of the "books" in decorative frames. Further with an elaborate armorial device incorporating the French royal coat of arms on the title page of each volume. 2 volumes. Deluxe hand-coloured edition of Fénelons popular didactic novel printed with newly designed type by Didot. This is also the first edition to include the 72 beautifully engraved plates drawn by the French painter Charles Monnet or Monet 1732-1808 or later and engraved by Jean-Baptiste Tilliard 1740-1813. The present copy has been luxuriously bound in a neoclassical style by Nicolas-Denis Derome 1731-1790 a renowned bookbinder who was known for the beauty and finesse of his work.Les aventures the Telemaque was originally published anonymously in 1699 because its denunciation of luxury war and selfishness as a matter of principal clearly bore an implied critique of the autocratic rule of King Louis XIV. The author did not remain anonymous for long; François de Salignac de la Mothe-Fénelon mostly known as François Fénelon 1651-1715 was a French Catholic archbishop theologian poet and writer. He was a regular visitor of the royal court at Versailles and for eight years tutor to Louis Duke of Burgundy known as the Petit Dauphin King Louis XIVs grandson. In 1697 however Fénelon was banished to his diocese initially because of a religious dispute and later for writing the present work. Growing dissatisfaction with Louis XVI leading up to the French Revolution made it once again both popular and dangerous though ironically the present edition and others were produced with patronage from members of the royal family.The story of Telemachus and Minerva was meant as a small addition to fill a gap in the chronology of Homer's great epic the Odyssey. While Telemachus the son of Ulysses/Odysseus is in theory the main character the principal focus is actually on "Mentor" or Minerva who teaches him how to rule and how to live life in general with both wisdom and morality. Fénelon's work proved incredibly popular going through numerous editions and translations throughout the 18th and well into the 19th century. The author's ideals of simplicity equality and world peace found their way through Telemachus and Minerva/Athena to French revolutionaries and German romantics thus indirectly shaping 18th- and 19th-century European cultural and political thought. It also found its way to North America - becoming one of Thomas Jefferson's favourites - and the Ottoman Empire. With the publication of an edition in Ottoman Turkish in 1859 it became the first European novel to be translated into Turkish.The present luxurious edition - which stands in stark contrast to the author's original message of simplicity and relative equality - was produced under the direction of Pierre François Didot with the patronage of the future King Louis XVIII. It is the first edition to unite the text with the detailed illustrations by Monnet and Tilliard. The first 6 plates belonging to the first 2 books in volume 1 are numbered signed and captioned all other plates are "avant la lettre" without the textual information and are very rare. The main text is set in the new Gros Romain gras roman type that Didot commissioned for this book from the punchcutter Jean-Baptiste Gérard and printed on high quality wove paper made by Pierre II and Étienne Montgolfier in Annonay.With the bookbinder's label of Nicolas-Denis Derome mounted on the verso of the second flyleaf "Rélié par Derome le jeune". The boards have been slightly rubbed the spines are somewhat faded due to exposure to sunlight in the past. The work is slightly browned and very lightly foxed throughout the tissue paper guards have browned some of the plates are stained. Otherwise in very good condition.l Cohen & De Ricci cols. 384-385; André Jammes Les Didot 1998 p. 27; Jeanne Veyrin-Forrer Les caracteres de Pierre-François Didot 1783-1790 in: Gutenberg-Jahrbuch 1962 pp. 57-67 at pp. 60-64 & figs. 1-7 also in Veyrin-Forrer La lettre et le texte 1987 pp. 139-157; Quérard III p. 92; for the plates by Tilliard after Monnet: Portalis 1877 pp. 399-413. l'imprimerie de Monsieur" [colophon below advertisement: Pierre François Didot le jeune, printer to the future King Louis XVIII hardcover
