From the library of immense book collector and Sun King's minister Colbert Adam Sartorius Ingolstadt 1599 10.9 x 16.2 cm Relié Second edition published the year after the first. Text in Greek and Latin. Illustrated with the printer's device on the title page headpieces initials and tailpieces. Superb contemporary red morocco binding spine with five raised bands bearing Colbert's crowned cipher centre of both covers stamped with his arms boards framed three times in gilt gilt roll-tooling on the board edges all edges speckled spine very lightly sunned discreet rubbing to the corners board edges and spine-ends on one abrasion to the lower cover and a faint dark mark on one compartment of the spine. A sumptuous copy bound in morocco stamped with the arms and cipher of Colbert minister to Louis XIV. Colbert acquired a vast collection comprising Byzantine manuscripts and printed editions of Gregory of Nazianzus 4th-century theologian Doctor of the Church and Bishop of Constantinople. His second son Jacques-Nicolas Colbert 1655-1707 doctor of theology was himself Archbishop of Nazianzus like his illustrious predecessor. He too collected his works and had a later edition of Nazianzus's works bound in his own arms Bibliothèque de l'Institut des Sources Chrétiennes Lyon. At the head of the title page appears the manuscript ex-libris of his library written by his famous librarian Étienne Baluze. The luxurious binding is in ""Levant morocco which diplomats and scholars are asked to seek out alongside books medals and manuscripts . A memorandum preserved in the archives of the Bibliothèque du Roi records the use between 1668 and 1683 of 4104 morocco skins of which 1820 were allocated for the Colbertine library. The usual binder was Éloy Le Vasseur who also worked for the Bibliothèque du Roi and whose receipts and memoranda appear regularly in the registers of Carcavy and Baluze. The name of Bernard Picart also appears once. The calfskin or more often red morocco binding generally bears at the centre of the boards the arms or 'an undulating serpent palewise azure' surmounted in the earliest period by an open helm facing forward with seven bars the spine with raised bands then bearing in the compartments the title in gilt capitals and a lozenge-shaped tool. In 1668 Colbert had Simon Thomassin the Elder engrave four bookbinder's tools for his library. These were doubtless the coat of arms surmounted by a marquis's coronet and encircled by the collars of the king's orders to which the minister had been appointed grand treasurer in 1665. The spine thereafter bore the title and the cipher formed of the interlaced initials JBC sometimes accompanied by the serpent within a gilt dentelle border"" reports Denise Bloch Histoire des bibliothèques françaises - t. II Les bibliothèques sous l'Ancien Régime 1530-1789. In 1672 Simon Thomassin engraved new tools - a note on the flyleaf dates the binding tool to this last set of arms. Like his former patron Cardinal Mazarin before him Colbert assembled one of the largest and finest libraries in France which he continually expanded until the end of his life. A bibliomane ahead of his time he engaged numerous correspondents charged with tracking down books not only in France's provinces but across all of Europe. His library like the king's he also took care of became one of the great European repositories of Greek philology: acquisitions copies and groupings of manuscripts brought hundreds of sources to Paris to feed the work of Hellenists and scholarly editors. Two months after Colbert's death in 1683 his family had the books in his library inventoried comprising more than 20000 printed volumes and more than 8000 early manuscripts. The Colbertine book collections passed first to the Marquis de Seignelay then to the Archbishop of Rouen Jacques-Nicolas Colbert and finally to Colbert's grandson Charles-Eléonor Comte de Seignelay: ""The Adam Sartorius hardcover

Jean-Baptiste Colbert 1619-1683 dominated French legislation in his role as Louis XIV's chief minister from 1661 until his death in 1683. Colbert's programme of absolutist reform drove a major standardization of French law. The forestry legislation bound 20th in this volume was the product of eight years' work by a 21-man commission. They were charged with securing a stable supply of timber for shipbuilding largely by eradicating the widespread corruption in the forestry industry. The resulting ordinance codified a mass of medieval laws from Charlemagne onwards imposed uniform jurisprudence throughout the land and reformed various minor offences. The other edicts regulate government offices court jurisdictions and commercial regulations. The ninth provides that "les Nobles pourront faire le Commerce de Mer sans deroger a la Noblesse" the aristocracy will be able to trade at sea without compromising their noble status. All except the first are printed by Frederic Leonard 1624-1711 the royal and parliamentary printer. 24 works in one quarto 235 x 176 mm.
