FIELDING, HENRY (BINDINGS - RIVIERE & SON)ABAA

THE HISTORY OF THE ADVENTURES OF JOSEPH ANDREWS AND HIS FRIEND MR. ABRAHAM ADAMS

1742ref. ST18426London: Printed for A. Millar 1742. FIRST EDITION. 165 x 98 mm. 6 1/2 x 3 7/8". With four pages of ads at the end of volume I; one leaf of ads at the beginning and two pages of ads at the end of volume II. Two volumes. VERY PRETTY TAN CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT BY RIVIERE & SON stamp-signed on front turn-ins covers with French fillet border raised bands spine compartments with central fleuron within a lozenge of dots curling cornerpieces gilt lettering lacy gilt turn-ins dark green endpapers all edges gilt. Housed together in a brown buckram slipcase. Front pastedown with morocco bookplate of Robert Hoe. Cross III 305; Rothschild 844; Tinker 1034. ◆Occasional mild browning or faint foxing but AN ESPECIALLY FINE SET clean and fresh internally in unworn bindings. This is a handsomely bound copy with superior provenance of the first appearance of a breakthrough work in the field of English literature. Fielding had a profound influence in determining the development of the novel and this was the first great instrument of that influence. Although some of the names of the characters are facetious the events personalities and settings are all characterized by convincing verisimilitude. The book was begun as a spoof of Richardson's sentimental "Pamela" but it ended up on its own as one of the best novels of the period. The beautiful bindings by the leading English workshop Riviere and the sparkling condition here are characteristic of books from the collection of our earlier owner Robert Hoe 1839-1911 founding member and first president of the Grolier Club. According to Beverly Chew Hoe's library was "the finest America has ever contained." Hoe acquired illuminated manuscripts early printing French and English literature and very fine bindings; when his library was sold in 1911-12 it fetched nearly $2 million a record that held until the Streeter sale more than 50 years later.

Oktober 1608 in Löwen war ein Jesuit spanischer Herkunft der insbesondere als Hexentheoretiker hervortrat sowie Jurist und Philologe.- Delrios Hauptwerk sind die Disquisitionum magicarum libri sex. Dieser Hexentraktat wurde von 1599 bis 1600 in drei Teilen gedruckt. Obwohl das Werk über 20 Auflagen erlebte der letzte Nachdruck wurde 1755 in Köln veranstaltet beschränkte sich seine Wirkung auf den des Lateinischen mächtigen Teil der Gesellschaft insbesondere den Klerus. Delrio lieferte mit dieser Schrift ein annähernd umfassendes Kompendium aller wichtigen bisher erschienenen Hexentraktate darunter der Hexenhammer und das Werk von Jean Bodin. Damit lieferte er seinen Lesern zugleich ein umfassendes Bild der Entwicklung der Hexenlehre und des Dämonenglaubens. Der Glaube an Besessenheit und die Notwendigkeit von Teufelsaustreibungen sind für ihn wichtige Bestandteile der christlichen Lehre. Dabei betont er dass er sich keinerlei Art von Zauberei ohne Ketzerei vorstellen kann. Somit stellte auch die Weiße Magie für ihn ein verfolgungswürdiges Verbrechen dar.Enth.:Lib. I. De Magia generatim & de Naturali Artificiali & Praestigiatrice agitur. Über die Zauberei im allgemeinen und über die natürliche künstliche und vorgaukelnde;Lib. II. De Magia Daemoniaca & eius efficacitate. Über die dämonische Zauberei und ihre Wirksamkeit;Lib. III. De Maleficio & vana observatione. Über den Schadenzauber und den Aberglauben;Lib. IV. De Prophetia Divinatione & Coniectatione. Über die Prophezeiung die Weissagung und ihre Deutung;Lib. V. De Iudicis officio & ordine iudiciario in hoc crimine. Über die Aufgabe des Richters und die Gerichtsordnung bei diesem Verbrechen; Lib. VI. De officio Confessarii ac remediis licitis & illicitis. Über die Aufgabe des Beichtvaters und die erlaubten und verbotenen Heilmittel. 010 Leiden, Johannes Pillehotte, 1612 unknown

POH-DÈNG: SCÈNES DE LA VIE SIAMOISE

1913ref. ST20673Paris: L'Édition d'Art H. Piazza 1913. ONE OF 12 COPIES on Japon with an original watercolor and two additional states of illustrations and 50 on Japon with one additional state of illustrations and 288 on vélin à la cuve. 238 x 165 mm. 9 3/8 x 6 1/2". 179 1 pp. 3 leaves. HANDSOME CARAMEL-COLORED MOROCCO DRAMATICALLY DECORATED IN GILT AND BLIND BY DURVAND stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with a wide gilt border of round flowers and scrolling vines flanked by dotted rolls surrounding a similar border tooled in blind front cover with a central panel similarly decorated with a central seated figure in blind surrounded by a solid gilt aureole smooth spine decorated with a similar gilt design of flowers and vines with a seated figure at the head and tail wide turn-ins with four gilt rules chocolate brown watered silk endleaves leather hinges top edge gilt. Original red and gold printed paper wrappers bound in. In a slightly worn felt-lined marbled paper slipcase. Text within decorative chromolithographed frames elaborate borders to title page and to beginning pages of the five chapters hybrid beasts on the limitations page and in the colophon two full-page color plates in a similar style WITH 51 POCHOIR COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS BY JOSEPH DE LA NÉZIÈRE nine of these full page THESE REPEATED IN TWO ADDITIONAL STATES one in monochrome on vélin à la cuve and one in pochoir on Japon plus AN ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR FRONTISPIECE by Joseph de La Nézière. A few faint smudges internally if you look hard to find them but A VERY FINE COPY extremely fresh and clean in a gleaming binding. This is an especially opulent production in a memorable binding from a major publisher of bibliophile editions. Our binder Durvand 1852-1924 operated one of the finest workshops in turn-of-the-century Paris and trained a number of talented artisans. In 1900 he was awarded a silver medal for his bindings at the Universal Exhibition and according to Flety he was devoted to improving the craft of binding right up to his death. Here the rich texture of the profusely used blind and gilt decoration creates the wonderful effect of a gleaming temple emerging from the shadow of a dense forest. This sumptuous covering is well-suited to the book's contents comprising vivid descriptions of life in the exotic Far East by an author familiar with the region. Lawyer and judge Paul-Louis Rivière 1873-1959 specialized in French colonial law and spent time living in Siam now Thailand. The richly colored plates are by noted Orientalist painter Joseph de La Nézière 1873–1944 who travelled widely in North Africa and the Far East. While he is known primarily for his landscapes and portraits this is apparently the only book that La Nézière illustrated. One of just a dozen deluxe copies ours includes three complete suites of the illustrations two beautifully colored with pochoir with glowing buttery light being used to great effect. The original watercolor frontispiece is especially lovely the scene of boaters at sunrise gleaming with the rising sun on the graceful palms and shimmering water. As lovely as the binding and the illustrations are the dazzling condition here is one further recommendation for the book. L'Édition d'Art, H. Piazza unknown
