Obra didáctica que recorre ao uso de alegorias escrita para servir à educação do neto de Luís XIV de quem Fénelon foi preceptor. Nela reflectem-se os ideias de um iluminismo católico. Os livros Sétimo a Décimo contém a descrição de uma cidade utópica e da tentativa da criação de uma cidade com essas características. Foi publicada pela primeira vez em 1699 de forma anónima e veio a tornar-se numa das mais populares obras do século XVII com várias edições e traduções para todas as línguas europeias e até em verso latino. Resgata personagens e mitos da antiguidade greco-romana para difundir valores morais e cívicos apresentando críticas ao contexto político e social de França. Com um pendor didático a obra teve grande influência na formação do rei Luís XV e era uma das favoritas de Rousseau e de Montesquieu. As «Aventuras de Telémaco» desenvolvem-se como uma continuação do Livro IV da Odisseia poema épico de Homero. A narrativa em prosa acompanha a busca de Telémaco por seu pai Ulisses ou Odisseu rei de Ãtaca que havia partido para a guerra de Troia. François de Salignac de La Mothe Fénelon Sainte-Mondane 1651 - Cambrai 1715. Bispo de Cambrai preceptor do Delfim de França desde 1689 membro da Academia Francesa de Letras poeta e escritor. Escreveu obras em diversos géneros e poesias mas as mais importantes e célebres são as obras com fins pedagógicos que ainda hoje são estudadas. As suas ideias sobre educação a sua simpatia por sociedades utópicas e as posições teológicas sobre o quietismo levaram a que fosse alvo de fortes críticas e se visse envolvido em polémicas nomeadamente com Bossuet. As obras referidas acima são as seguintes: para a educação das filhas da Duquesa de Beauvillers - De l"Éducation des Filles; para a educação do Delfim de França neto de Luís XIV - Dialogues des Morts Telémaco e um conjunto de fábulas. Nota a data desta edição «An VII» corresponde ao Ano 7 do Calendário Republicano Francês instituído durante a Revolução Francesa que corresponde ao período entre setembro de 1798 e setembro de 1799.

1717Best.-Nr. 92333Paris: Florentin Delaulne 1717. Fine. Sumptuous Chambolle-Duru red morocco binding with doublure Florentin Delaulne Paris 1717 10.2 x 16.5 cm Relié First complete edition. It is illustrated with two frontispieces twenty-four full-page engravings and a folding map of Telemachus's travels. The portrait of Fénelon serving as frontispiece to the first volume is signed Baillieul and Duflos; the second frontispiece together with the plates is signed Bonnart fils and Giffart while the map is drawn by Rousset and engraved by Berey. A few head-pieces bandeaux and ornamental initials. Bindings in full red morocco signed Chambolle-Duru richly decorated covers spine with five raised bands ruled in gilt gilt panels and fleurons between the bands author title volume number place and date lettered in gilt on the spines doublures in Prussian-blue morocco gilt borders combed marbled paper endpapers gilt edges slipcase. A few instances of light foxing and soiling to the leaves. Signed autograph note and stamps of Gustave Mouravit 1840-1920. Long read as a critique of the power of Louis XIV the work was already regarded as a satirical allegory of the reign even before its printed publication several manuscript copies having circulated among courtiers as early as the autumn of 1698. This political reading owes much to the context of its publication: Fénelon had just been condemned in Rome on 12 March 1699 at the end of a long theological controversy with Bossuet over the question of pure disinterested love of God and was then in disgrace and exiled to Cambrai. A more neutral reading might instead see it as a classic of pedagogical literature: originally conceived for the education of the Duke of Burgundy grandson of Louis XIV and Fénelon's pupil Telemachus conveys through the journey of Ulysses's son inspired by the Odyssey an art of governance and a message of universal significance. Victim of an uncontrollable success the work was first printed without the author's consent in 1699; copies were withdrawn from sale and the privilege granted to the publisher was revoked though this did not prevent the rapid spread of the text. In great demand the work was subject to several piracies notably by the Dutch publisher Adrian Moetjens before being officially published in 1717 under the direction of the Marquis de Fénelon the author's great-nephew. Based on the original manuscript recovered after Fénelon's death this richly illustrated edition offers a corrected and completed text. First edition in accordance with Fénelon's manuscript here richly bound in red morocco. Florentin Delaulne hardcover

Copy printed on thick Dutch laid paper. Bound in full red straight-grain morocco covers framed with dotted borders smooth spines decorated with seven dotted fillets gilt titles and volume numbers dotted rule on board edges gilt inner roll-tooled borders marbled paper pastedowns all edges gilt. Some very slight rubbing and soiling to bindings spines sunned some foxing offsetting from the plates onto the half-titles. Bookplate of Thomas Pares 1716-1805 a lawyer in Leicester and owner of Hopwell Hall a Derbyshire country house since demolished. A handsome illustrated edition printed on thick laid paper of very fine quality. This luxury edition of the Avantures de Télémaque published in London by Robert Dodsley reproduces on a reduced scale the illustrations of the folio edition issued in 1734 in Amsterdam and Rotterdam by Wetstein Smith Chatelain and Hofhout. The compositions by Vivien Picart Debrie and Dubourg were re-engraved for it by Scotin and Fourdrinier to suit a more manageable format. Charles Nodier praised it in his Description raisonnée d'une jolie collection de livres notably for the elegance of its plates and the quality of its paper which he describes as ""firm elastic crisp"". Long read as a critique of Louis XIV's exercise of power Fénelon's work was already regarded as a satirical allegory of his reign even before it appeared in print manuscript copies having circulated in court circles from the autumn of 1698. This political reading owes much to the circumstances of its publication: Fénelon had just been condemned in Rome on 12 March 1699 at the close of a long theological controversy with Bossuet over the doctrine of the pure love of God and was then in disgrace exiled to Cambrai. A more neutral reading sees it rather as a classic of didactic narrative: originally conceived for the education of the Duke of Burgundy grandson of Louis XIV to whom Fénelon was tutor the voyage of the son of Ulysses inspired by the Odyssey conveys an art of government and a moral teaching of universal scope. The work was first printed without the author's consent in 1699; copies were withdrawn from sale and the publisher's privilege revoked though this did not prevent the text from spreading rapidly. In great demand it was the subject of several pirated editions before its first official publication in 1717. A very attractive copy of this compact luxury edition bound in straight-grain morocco. R.
