1750réf. 0074571750. First Edition of most if not all the copper engravings presumed. Full Morocco. Near Fine. Hubert Gravelot Hyacinthe Rigaud Robert Gardelle Charles-Andre Van Loo Jannet La Tour. Also various engravers. An interesting collection of copper engraved plates relating to Voltaire and these mostly illustrations from his dramatic works including "Henriade" the most represented of the works and as so happens one of the very few that occasionally still known by non-Voltaire scholars and that might enjoy a production in the modern era "Tancrede" "La Princesse de Navarre" "L'Enfant Prodigue" "Socrate" "L'Orpheline de Chine" "Horace" "Nanine" "La Prude" "Semiramis" "Le Duc de Foix" etc. We believe these are without exception also copper engravings issued during Voltaire's lifetime and all of them date to the 18th Century. The plates we stress were not issued as the suite here; this suite was created later probably by or on behalf of the bibliophile whose decorative bookplate is mounted in the front -- Charles MacAllister Wilcox 1870 - 1932 who was a successful Denver business executive. all done during Voltaire's lifetime. The dramatic works include Bound by Riviere & Son in full red morocco gilt ruling and decoration raised bands turn-ins. 8vo. 25 by 19.5 cm. 50 plates including frontis the plates done by various artists and engravers but Hubert Gravelot is by far the most represented of the artists with 43 of the engravings based on his artwork. Six of the plates are portrait plates one of Voltaire as to be expected the others of Louis XIV and XV monarchs during Voltaire's lifetime Charles XII and Peter the Great monarchs Voltaire wrote biographies of and of Gravelot. This makes the point to us that the Suite of Plates is as much a tribute to Gravelot's artistry as to Voltaire his inspiration. And his artwork is vivid often seething with activity and movement. Not only is he without peer among Baroque illustrators but also the perfect choice to capture the spirit of a dramatic work. The raised bands and edges of the binding have some rubbing. Offsetting of the turn-ins onto the FEPs which we and most will find rather attractive. A few of the plates have an obvious jagged crease mark in their lower portion. Some light scattered soiling including a fox mark here and there. unknown

17793 voll. in 16 rilegati in 1, pp. 100; 29 + (1b). Legatura in p. pg. coeva. La prima opera, dal titolo 'La predicazione', e' la prima traduzione italiana, senza indicazione di luogo ed editore, ma solo della data (1779), di un'opera anonima attribuita a Voltaire uscita nel 1766 con il titolo 'De la predication par l'auteur du dictionnaire philosophique' e attribuita a Voltaire proprio per l'artificiosa indicazione inserita nel titolo di 'opera dell'autore del dizionario filosofico', espressione che scompare, invece, nella traduzione italiana. Anche la seconda, 'Il mondo come va'. Visione di Babouc' e' la prima e unica traduzione italiana di un racconto allegorico-filosofico di Voltaire 'Le monde comme il va, vision de Babouc', pubblicato nel 1748, e poi con titolo leggermente diverso nel 1749. Qui lo scrittore immagina che l'angelo Ituriele, uno degli spiriti che presiedono agli imperi del mondo, esasperato dalle follie e dagli eccessi dei Persiani, invii lo sciita Babouc a Persepoli perche' gli riferisca cosa accade e gli permetta di decidere se la citta' deve essere sterminata o rieducata. Babouc vede davanti a se' episodi di crudelta', licenziosita' e superstizione ma anche esempi di coraggio, saggezza e generosita' da parte degli uomini. Ituriel decide allora di lasciare che 'il mondo vada come vada' poiche', anche se non tutto va bene, tutto e' pur sempre passabile. Di queste due opere si fa riferimento in Bloch e Mckenna in 'L'identification du texte clandestin aux XVII et XVIII siecle', 1999, p. 253, nota 50. In particolare, secondo gli Aa., 'La predicazione' sarebbe stata stampata a Siena, presso Francesco Rossi, come si evince dal 'Catalogo de' libri stampati e che si vanno stampando... da Francesco Rossi...' che fa riferimento, per l'appunto, a questa edizione. Entrambi i testi, 'La predicazione' e 'La visione di Babouc' compaiono inoltre elencati nel catalogo del 1785 del libraio napoletano Porcelli (con l'attribuzione di La predicazione a Voltaire). Mentre un esemplare di 'La predicazione' e' presente nella Biblioteca Comunale degli Intronati di Siena, aggiungono gli Aa. che nessuna traduzione di il Monde comme va, sconosciuto alle bibliografie, e' stato finora rintracciato.

A very scarce early edition of this important attack by Voltaire on contemporary taste in art and literature. Published the same year as the first which was issued in Rouen by Jore in 1733. Voltaire's bibliographer Bengesco refers to the further 1733 printings as 'premieres editions'.

With a bright red and black title page featuring a detailed engraving. This edition was published by Jaques Desbordes of Amsterdam. 'Le Temple du Gout' was published without official permission from the censors and is a scathing satirical attack on contemporary taste in art and literature. Voltaire was the nom de plume of Francois-Marie Arouet. He was a French Enlightenment writer historian and philosopher. He was famous for his wit and staunch criticism of Christianity. Disbound. Externally very bright with just a small chip to the fore edge. Small mark to the head of title page. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright with just the odd spots to pages.
