réf. 105975Paris Michallet 1675. . Second edition 12mo engraved folding map short tear and engraved folding plate small marginal stain to pages 10 & 11 not affecting text occasional light browning contemporary calf slightly rubbed head of spine worn a very good copy. The material of the work comes from Giraud the French Consul in Athens and from the Capuchin monks settled there judiciously mixed with scholarly accounts by Meurs and others. The work was highly regarded for many years although Spon had made it quite clear that neither Guillet nor his brother as he had claimed had been to the city. In fact even Laborde remarks that Guillet had an 'intelligence remarquable des choses de l'antiquite.' His account did contain information on the contemporary state of the city and he very much emphasised the need to compare the ancient and modern cultures Blackmer. Blackmer 766. Paris, Michallet, 1675. unknown

First historiographer of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture to which he was admitted in 1682 Guillet de Saint-George Thiers circa 1625 - Paris 1705 became known through several writings the principal ones relating to Greece and the Ottoman Empire. Concerning the present work: ""Il prétendit qu'il avait tiré ses documents des Mémoires de son frère Guillet de La Guilletière qu'il disait avoir été prisonnier quatre ans à Tunis et visité l'Italie septentrionale la Hongrie la Grèce la Turquie et une partie de l'Asie Mineure. Ce livre eut un grand succès ; mais la fraude fut découverte : le prétendu voyageur n'était jamais sorti de son cabinet ce qui n'empêcha pas Guillet de publier l'année suivante Lacédémone ancienne et nouvelle qui eut autant de vogue que le précédent mais provoqua une controverse avec Jacob Spon"" Hoefer XXII 727-728.

1896réf. 16261London: R.H. Porter 1896. FIRST EDITION. With 61 hand-colored lithographed plates 4 colored maps and numerous text illustrations. Later full cloth title in gilt to front cover and spine. A superb copy but for a tear on page 63 neatly repaired with tape. From the Library of James M. Dolan Jr. former head curator and director of collections at the Zoological Society of San Diego. First edition of this remarkable monograph with beautiful hand-colored plates by J.G. Keulemans and special maps illustrating the distribution of the family Loriidae and its component genera. The Lories are a family of small parrots remarkable for their brilliant and gay coloration. It is not only the appearance of these birds which make them attractive; some of them as those of the genus Chalcopsittacus will spontaneously approach human dwellings. Of special interest are sixteen of the seventy-five species here depicted and described for the first time Mivart 1827-1900 in terms of mastery of anatomical detail “had few rivals and perhaps no superior among his contemporaries” DNB and Keulemans 1842-1912 was quite possibly the greatest illustrator of birds towards the end of the nineteenth century. .
