WILLIAMS, Helen Maria (trans); SAINT-PIERRE, Jacques-Henri Bernardin deBiblio.com

Paul and Virginia.

1795ref. 144669London: G. G. and J. Robinson 1795. First separate edition in English translated by the celebrated bluestocking Helen Maria Williams 1759-1827 "amidst the horrors of Robespierre's tyranny" as she explains colourfully in her Preface; it became "the standard English edition well into the nineteenth century" Deborah Kennedy Helen Maria Williams and the Age of Revolution 2002 p. 122. The circumstances under which Williams completed her translation were trying to say the least "she was subject to frequent house searches and on several occasions had parts of the translation and other papers seized and taken to 'the Municipality of Paris in order to be examined as English papers; where they still remain mingled with revolutionary placards motions and harangues; and are not likely to be restored to my possession'" ibid. Paul and Virginia was first published in French as part of Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's Études de la nature in 1788 and received its first English translation the same year. "ESTC shows 17 English forms of this work between 1795 when Helen Maria William's Paul and Virginia was published and 1800" Garside Raven and Schöwerling. Though published without an imprint this edition was almost certainly issued by the radical and printer John Hurford Stone 1763-1818 with whom Williams was involved. Another edition was published in London the same year by G. G. and J. Robinson. Precedence has not been established. "Although excessively sentimental this little work contains many charming passages especially the descriptions in which Rousseau's influence can be seen of an idyllic life in strange surroundings. It had an immense vogue was translated into many languages and still retains its popular fame. Bonaparte considered it the language of the soul and he pensioned and decorated the author" The Oxford Companion to French Literature. Octavo in fours 205 x 133 mm. With 6 engraved plates by Clément after drawings by Dutailly. Recent quarter calf and marbled boards to style spine ruled in gilt red morocco label. Small rust hole to one leaf touching one letter; a very good copy. See Garside Raven and Schöwerling 1788:71 hardcover

Oeuvres complètes

1818ref. 86072Paris: Méquignon - Marvis 1818. Fine. First Collected Edition of Bernardin de Saint-Pierre in 12 Untrimmed Volumes Méquignon - Marvis Paris 1818 14 x 21.50 cm 12 volumes reliés First collected edition partly first edition of the works of Bernardin de Saint-Pierre published in Paris by Méquignon-Marvis in 1818 four years after the authors death. Twelve octavo volumes printed by L.-T. Cellot. The illustration comprises a frontispiece portrait of Bernardin drawn by Girodet-Trioson and engraved by Frédéric Lignon together with 26 hors-texte plates after Girodet Desenne Lafitte Moreau le Jeune Prudhon Vernet and Isabey; these include a folding map of the Atlantic hemisphere and several botanical plates. As is often the case with this edition the engravings have been bound in a somewhat irregular order several suites having their own numbering; the set is nevertheless complete. Contemporary Bradel-style bindings in red half Russia leather smooth spines ruled in gilt boards covered with paper imitating Russia leather green paper endleaves. Untrimmed. Scattered foxing and some soiling to a few boards. A handsome uniformly bound set the bindings well preserved. By 1818 Bernardin de Saint-Pierre was already far more than simply the author of Paul and Virginia: around the novel that had made his reputation were now gathered his travel writings the Études de la nature the Harmonies political texts essays fragments and several works that had remained in manuscript. Across twelve volumes Aimé-Martin thus presented an oeuvre far broader than the one preserved in the public imagination by the success of the novel. Paul and Virginia nevertheless remains at the heart of the collection. Aimé-Martin follows la belle édition in-4° publiée par lauteur en 1806 while reusing several compositions originally devised for the illustrated editions of 1789 and 1806. Around this already celebrated text however he adds the Harmonies de la nature first published posthumously in 1815 together with a body of manuscript material brought into this large collected edition for the first time. At the beginning of the final volume Bernardin returns to one of the decisive encounters of his life: Au mois de juin de 1772 un ami mayant proposé de me mener chez J.-J. Rousseau il me conduisit dans une maison rue Plâtrière. The Essai sur J.-J. Rousseau thus opens a sequence in which education Socrates the Jardin des Plantes and several of Bernardins scientific projects soon follow; as the volume progresses the author of Paul and Virginia gives way to a much broader figure - moralist traveller observer of nature and man of projects. These twelve volumes thus bring Bernardin de Saint-Pierre out from the shadow of his own masterpiece: around Paul and Virginia finally unfold the voyages nature Rousseau the manuscripts and projects of a writer whom the nineteenth century could now read in the full breadth of his work.

Carcel de Amor - Italian 1525. Carcer Damore. Tradotto dal . Lelio de Manfredi Ferrarese de doma Spagno in Lingua Materna

1525ref. 4542Venice: Gregorio di Gregorii 1525. Very good. Small 8vo 143 x 95 mm. 44 ff. Collation: A-E8 F4 COMPLETE title-page with light toning fols. A1-2 with unimportant wormholes in blank gutter margin. Very attractive late 19th- or early 20th-century blue embossed boards gray cloth spine. In excellent condition the paper crisp and fresh. ITALIAN POST-INCUNABLE EDITION OF THE CARCEL DE AMOR ONE OF THE MOST ENDURING OF ALL LATE MEDIEVAL ROMANCES. Written in Spanish in the late 15th century the work is a key example of the "star-crossed lovers" romance tradition. It combines allegory with chivalric narrative while its epistolary form intensifies the themes of distance miscommunication and emotional crisis. Widely popular it was quickly translated and circulated across Europe as is attested by this Italian translation published in Venice in 1525. The story continues to be celebrated for its emotional intensity and its refined articulation of courtly love. The romance was first translated into Italian by Lelio de Manfredi of Ferrara in 1514 and represents a moment when literature language and print culture intersected across political and cultural borders. For years the story was reshaped and redistributed in Renaissance Europe and contributed to a shared literary tradition. On the title-page of our edition we find only Manfredi's name and the dedicatee is Isabella d'Esta his former pupil. The translator has added his own closing epistle to the Carcel de Amor which praises Isabella; the author's name Diego de San Pedro is nowhere to be found. The Carcel de amor is told almost entirely through letters speeches and monologues rather than dialogue. It centers on Leriano a young nobleman in love with Laureola daughter of the King of Macedonia. His condition is figured as an allegorical "PRISON OF LOVE" and he communicates with her only through a mediator. A rival Persio sometimes Theseus/Perseus accuses Laureola of having an affair leading to her imprisonment. Leriano rescues her and kills his rival but Laureola ultimately rejects him in a letter. In despair he chooses to starve himself to death but not before delivering a speech in praise of women. CATALOGUER'S NOTE: Italian translations of the Carcel de Amor "Carcer Damore" are uncommon. We have located just three copies of ANY Italian language post-incunable edition at auction in the last century: 1518: sold at Ader Paris 2024 1521: sold at Sotheby's London 1970 1518: sold through Quaritch Catalogue 494 1934.

Mélanges de marine Naval Miscellanies

1801ref. 90455Paris: Sans nom d'éditeur 1801. Fine. Sans nom d'éditeur Paris s. d. 1801 19.3 x 25 cm Relié Rare group of six fascicules all in the original edition.Bradel-style binding in green mottled boards smooth unlettered spine printed title label mounted at the centre of the upper cover; modern binding.Not recorded by Polak. Apparently no copy located in the CCFr.A stain at the head of the title page.This curious compilation bearing almost no identifying information appears to be particularly rare.It contains:- 1. A notice to mariners concerning the change in the lighting of the lighthouse in the Bay of the Somme scheduled for 25 Pluviôse Year IX 14 February 1801.- 2. An instruction on filters for purifying water signed by the health officers Dubrueil Thaumur Dupré and Billard.- 3. A notice on naval provisions signed by Rivoire.- 4. A description of the sillomètre an instrument for measuring longitude at sea addressed to the editor of the Moniteur by the former journalist Charles Mozard 17551810 who had served as Commissioner of Frances commercial relations in Boston from 1794 to 1799 and was at that time among the contributors to the Moniteur.- 5. A discourse by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre delivered at the Institut Nautical experiments and dietary and moral observations proposed for the benefit and health of sailors on long-distance voyages. This contribution had already been printed in La Décade philosophique littéraire et politique of 30 Vendémiaire Year IX 22 October 1800.- 6. Two practical notices on means of preserving ships from fire water and rats. The nature of these texts and their immediate sources suggest that this publication was probably conceived as a trial maritime periodical intended to make available sea-related articles previously published in other journals. For reasons unknown the experiment was not continued a circumstance that is fairly common in the history of periodicals. Sans nom d'éditeur hardcover
