1708ref. E3FC79WYY30JLondon: for R. Knaplock J. Sprint R. Smith and J. Round 1708. Contemporary panelled calf with gold-stamped red label to gilt spine leading edges gilt red sprinkled edges. 8vo. First edition of the author's most famous work. The orientalist Simon Ockley 1678-1720 was educated at Queens' College Cambridge. He became fellow of Jesus College and vicar of Swavesey and in 1711 was appointed professor of Arabic at the University. His History of the Saracens as he called the 1718 second edition of the present work and the second volume added at that time long enjoyed a great reputation; unfortunately Ockley took as his main authority a MS. in the Bodleian of pseudo-Wakidi's Futúh al-Shám which is more historical romance than history. He also translated from the Arabic the Second Book of Esdras" Enc. Brit. For some reason the present copy an alternative version of the dedication to Henry Aldrich probably from the second edition of 1718 inserted in the middle of the preface after p. XX. The 1718 edition was printed for the same four publishers plus one more and seems likely to come from the same printing office.With old manuscript dates on title-page.

Toute petite tache claire marginale dans le cahier "d", rares brunissures, mais très séduisant exemplaire réglé, conservé dans une reliure du XVII siècle. Impréssion en lettres romaines avec titres des marginalia en lettres gothiques et des notes en caractères grécques. Titre à l'intérieur d'un encadrement gravé sur bois. Une seconde édition fut imprimée l'année suivante, en 1539 et une troisième dix ans plus tard, en 1549. Jean de Gagny (+1549) fut un humaniste et théologue français. Sorti du Collège de Navarre, d'abord lecteur, puis premier aumônier (1536) et prédicateur du Roi François I, il fut aussi recteur de l'Université de Paris (1546). Grand bibliophile, il avait constitué une remarquable collection de manuscrits et de textes imprimés, souvent luxueusement reliés, surtout de textes des Pères de l'Eglise. Sa position auprès du Roi, lui permit d'accéder aux grandes bibliothèques monastiques. Son intérêt pour la typographie l'amèna, en 1544-1545, à patronner les activités du jeune graveur de caractères Claude Garamond. Très rare édition de poche des Lettres de Saint Paul, sortie des presses de Simon de Colines (1480-1546), imprimeur et graveur de caractères, en activité de 1520 à 1546. Il succéde au libraire-imprimeur Henri Estienne dont il épouse la veuve. Entre 1520 et 1531 il grave une vingtaine de polices de lettres romaines et italiques directement inspirées par les caractères d'Alde Manuce. Ses polices commencent à remplacer les fontes d'ancien style que les imprimeurs parisiens continuaient à utiliser. Il développa les petits formats in-16°, aux prix accessibles, adaptés aux besoins d'une clientèle d'étudiants, où l'on retrouve toujours la clarté de la mise en page et la beauté des caractères typographiques. Un seul exemplaire dans les collections publiques françaises (Bibliothèque de Lyon). Provenance : Ex libris manuscrits Du Chemin, d'un Collège de la Société de Jésus et un autre encore sur la page de titre. Note manuscrite "Parisiis 1651. 32 f". (LCPCREL-0014) (1.800,00 €)

1767ref. 158922London: no publisher 1767. Defending despotism in the final years of the ancien régime First edition of this controversial work opposing political reform in the run-up to the French Revolution in a well-preserved contemporary binding. In arguably his major political work Simon Nicolas Henri Linguet 1736-1794 argues that free workers are worse off than enslaved people in a market economy and that despotism is a more effective protector of the poor than liberalism - arguments which led to his execution under the Reign of Terror in 1794. Linguet's work outlines a stinging attack on Montesquieu's theories on laws and the state and challenge physiocratic arguments including their objection to grain regulation. This critique of Enlightenment liberalism influenced the radical factions of the Revolution and the theories of Karl Marx. Linguet a habitual controversialist was among the most renowned lawyers in France during the 1760s and 1770s until his attacks on other lawyers led to his expulsion from the bar in 1775. Initially a friend of the philosophes he gradually came to reject much of their philosophy including the argument that English liberties provide a model for France. Observing this streak of nonconformity Voltaire wrote of Linguet that "Paris too has its Jean-Jacques Rousseau" quoted in Vyverberg p. 476. Two distinct editions of Théorie have been identified with a London 1767 imprint. This edition runs to 507 and 532 pages and includes three pages of errata following the "Discours Préliminaire". Many of these errata have been corrected in the other edition which runs to 496 and 528 pages. 2 vols duodecimo 166 x 94 mm pp. iv 507 1; iv 532. Woodcut ornament to title pages head- and tailpieces. Contemporary mottled calf spines with panelling and floral decoration in gilt raised bands and red and brown morocco labels covers ruled in blind marbled endpapers edges red green silk bookmarkers.

1710ref. 123204Bourdeaux i.e. The Hague: Jaques L'Aveugle 1710 but around 1714. The true first edition First edition of this early utopian novel "the best-known of all the radical philosophical novels of the Early Enlightenment" which "surpassed practically every other work of philosophical fiction of the age for notoriety" Israel pp. liii and lvi. The novel details a Frenchman shipwrecked off South Africa - the co-ordinates are given as 60°E/44°S roughly around the Kerguelen Islands - where he finds a terrestrial paradise. Learning the language of the natives the protagonist seeks to explain Christianity to them who greet its central tenets as absurd and its God as unjust. The hero continues his travels and there hears a parable on Christianity that shocked the author's contemporaries - an absolute monarch who owns bees damns them for sucking nectar which had been prohibited merely to test his authority send his son in bee form to redeem them whereupon the different worshippers of the bee messiah kill each other whilst bee priests live indolent lives on pious bees' labour. Rapidly banned in Holland and France it nonetheless went through further Dutch editions a French edition three English editions and two German editions by 1760. Tyssot publicly denied writing the work at the time due to the controversy and some scholars still question his authorship but he himself claimed to have written it in a letter to his son in 1720 and modern scholarly opinion generally supports the attribution ibid p. liv. The book was actually published around 1714 but was pre-dated 1710 possibly to coincide with the Millenarianism of that year or to feign priority for the idea of a "fable of the bees" as Mandeville had published his own parable in 1714. The book poses bibliographic difficulties with four editions purporting to be published in 1710 three in the same place by the same publisher. Rosenberg has established that the present edition best distinguished by a woodcut on the title page of a celestial globe with a knob deviating to the left is the true first edition. Duodecimo 158 x 92 mm. Contemporary speckled calf red morocco label. Ownership label neat ink note of author and early catalogue description to front pastedown. Small chip at base of spine front joint cracked but firm some light browning front free endpaper and frontispiece expertly reinserted. A very good copy.
