1772Best.-Nr. 195273Paris: Gueffier 1772. An apparently unrecorded publication in an elaborately embroidered binding A musical almanac absent from bibliographies and untraced in institutional holdings here intricately bound. The amorous theme of the lyrics intended for familiar melodies and game for unmarried players are echoed in the binding's motifs of love. An acrostic spelling "Louise" suggests the name of the beloved whom the title page declares was the original reader. The contents comprise songs for each month and sign of the zodiac. These are set to familiar airs apart from one "La Terre bon conseil aux rois" which does not yet have music to accompany it. A calendar for 1772 records feast days and lunar phases. Its "New Game of Oracles" includes a printed numbered chart forming the game board. Players select a number while blindfolded to reveal a song for either a bachelor or mademoiselle. A number of almanacs were published under the name Dumeny or Dumenil. Gueffier published more than 20 almanacs between 1741 and 1774 many of which had similar musical or amorous tones. Neither Saffroy nor Grand-Carteret record this publication though the latter records an almanac of the same name published by Cailleau in 1774 521. As with the present almanac no copies are traced of this later publication which may be a reprint. Quadragesimo-octavo 88 x 50 mm pp. 74. Woodcut ornamentation throughout. Contemporary binding of cream silk spine couched with vertical passing threads boards framed with fine vertical strips of metal plate enclosing wide arabesque border of passing threads couched in wave-like arrangement metallic passementerie to board fore edges front board with lovers' knot and crossed arrows top winged flaming hearts in pink and green silk rear with pansies or violets in purple pink yellow and green silk blue silk pastedowns gilt edges. Embroidery bright and neat silk mildly soiled loss to pink bud embroidery at rear occasional loss to thread at edges contents lightly uniformly toned. A beautifully preserved example. hardcover
