Un des 35 premiers exemplaires sur vélin de Rives n° 20. Envoi signé : « Pour Arlette et Maurice Alteirac avec toute ma sympathie à Paris le samedi 17 janvier 1987 Pascal Quignard ». . Lorsque paraît Le Salon du Wurtemberg Pascal Quignard a déjà construit une oeuvre singulière mêlant récits et essais mais c'est avec ce livre qu'il franchit un seuil décisif de reconnaissance. Le roman ample et méditatif suit un musicien retiré dans le domaine familial de Bergheim dans le Wurtemberg qui revient sur son enfance et sa vie d'homme en un tissage de langues de paysages et de figures - chats enfants vieilles demoiselles au raffinement suranné - qui composent une mémoire traversée de nostalgie et de violence sourde. L'ouvrage porte en germe l'un des grands succès de l'auteur Tous les matins du monde 1991 : l'évocation de Saint-Colombe et Marin Marais y apparaît déjà comme une esquisse encore voilée. La musique la filiation et l'ombre du XVIIᵉ siècle imprègnent ainsi le texte de leur résonance et du livre - et son film - à venir. Exemplaire en parfait état avec dédicace strictement contemporaine et coffret à reprise de décor de Julie Nadot. Bandeau éditeur conservé. Paris, Gallimard, (11 juillet) 1986. 1 vol.

1658ref. elala1202Cologne: Nicolaus Schouten ie. Leyden: Jean Elzevir 1658. 1658. 8vo. pp. 16 p.l. 608. woodcutornaments & initials. calf antique light dampmark in fore-margin of outer leaves former owner's name deleted on title. First Edition in Latin pseudonymously translated by Port-Royal moralist and theologian Pierre Nicole of the Lettres Provinciales the most important ethical work of Pascal and one of the great classics of French prose. Written in response to the Jesuit attacks on Jansenism which culminated in the condemnation by the Sorbonne at the end of 1655 of Antoine Arnauld the chief light of Port Royal the Lettres were originally issued clandestinely in a series of eighteen separate parts between January 23 1656 and January 15 1657. "Pascal’s counter-attack took the form of a brilliant exposure of the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits. It was at the time a magnificent sustained invective after which the Jesuits never recovered their former position in France it was largely responsible for the traditional bad name they still less deservedly bear and a noble defence of thought in religious faith. Pascal’s weapon was irony and the freshness with which the gravity of the subject contrasts with the lightness of the manner is an enduring triumph. The vividness and distinction of his style recalls the prose of Milton at its best." PMM Brunet IV 396. Rand I p. 395. Rahir 829 with final errata leaf not called for by Willems.

1658ref. 307Leiden Netherlands alias: Coloniae: Jean Elzevir alias: Apud Nicolaum Schouten 1658. First Latin Edition. Contemporary mottled full calf. Very Good. First Latin edition published and translated from the original French anonymously for fear of reprisal from the Catholic Church and the king of France. IMPORTANCE AND IMPACT The Lettres provinciales Provincial Letters are a series of eighteen polemical letters written by Pascal under the pseudonym Louis de Montalte. In these letters Pascal humorously attacked casuistry a rhetorical method of questionable logic often used by Jesuit theologians and accused Jesuits of moral laxity. The final letter from Pascal in 1657 had defied the Pope himself provoking Alexander VII to condemn the letters. The reaction to the Lettres provinciales was substantial. Pascal's use of wit humor and mockery in attacking existing institutions made his work extremely popular. However its publication was primarily via the underground press and in 1660 Louis XIV of France banned the book and ordered it shredded and burned. The Church banned it by placing on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. Pascal himself had to enter clandestinity living in cheap hostels. Moreover even Pope Alexander while publicly opposing them nonetheless was persuaded by Pascal's arguments. Just a few years later 1665–66 and then 1679 Alexander condemned "laxity" in the church and ordered a revision of casuistic texts. Condition: Very Good. Complete. Full Title Translated: LUDOVICI MONTALTUS PROVINCIAL LETTERS from the Morality & Politics of Jesuit discipline. By Wilhelm Wendrock a theologian from Salzburg translated from French into Latin and illustrated with theological notes in which both the accusations of the Jesuits against Montalto are repelled and the principal topics of moral theology are vindicated from the corruptions of the new casuists BOOK INFO Published in 1658 in Leiden Netherlands by Jean Elzevir of the famed Dutch publishing powerhouse anonymously as Apud Nicolaum Schouten in Coloniae.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Blaise Pascal 1623 – 1662 was a French mathematician physicist inventor philosopher and Catholic writer. Pascal was a child prodigy. His earliest mathematical work was on projective geometry; he wrote a significant treatise on the subject of conic sections at the age of 16. He later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science. In 1642 he started some pioneering work on calculating machines called Pascal's calculators and later Pascalines establishing him as one of the first two inventors of the mechanical calculator. Like his contemporary René Descartes Pascal was also a pioneer in the natural and applied sciences. Pascal wrote in defense of the scientific method and produced several controversial writings.He made important contributions to the study of fluids and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalising the work of Evangelista Torricelli. The SI unit for pressure is named for Pascal. Following Torricelli and Galileo Galilei in 1647 he rebutted the likes of Aristotle and Descartes who insisted that nature abhors a vacuum. He is also credited as the inventor of modern public transportation having established the carrosses à cinq sols a system of publicly available coaches the first modern public transport service shortly before his death in 1662. PROVENANCE From the estate of Francois Hemart. Hermart settled in Champagne France in the early 17th century. He is primarily remembered through the Champagne house Henri Giraud which produces a grand cu cuvee named Hommage a Francois Hemart in his honor. Jean Elzevir (alias: Apud Nicolaum Schouten) unknown

It is with the Mirror Paintings that Pistoletto's name is mostly closely identified an ongoing series begun in 1962 that has earned him rapid and enduring international recognition. These works are made from sheets of mirror-finished stainless steel fitted with a full-length portrait photograph that has been meticulously traced and painted onto its surface after 1971 the image was silkscreened on. The inclusion in the work of the viewer his or her surroundings and his or her interaction with the photographed person in the mirror is the key to the boggling reflexivity that drives this work. This book evaluates the Mirror Paintings of the past four years. It includes an interview with the artist and a fully illustrated chronology of Mirror Paintings from 1962 to the present. . 2011. 3775726969 . Hatje Cantz hardcover
