Histoire critique du Vieux Testament. [Amsterdam, Elzevier], 1680. L’exemplaire de Racine. Première édition elzévirienne complète. In-4. Basane de l'époque.
Est: €1,000 - €1,500
[Racine, Jean] ─ Richard Simon Histoire critique du Vieux Testament. Suivant la copie imprimée à Paris [Amsterdam, D. Elzevier], 1680. In-4 (207 x 147 mm). Basane, dos à nerfs orné de fers dorés, tranches mouchetées (Reliure de l’époque). L’exemplaire de Racine. Première édition elzévirienne complète. L’édition originale, imprimée à Paris en 1678 chez la veuve Billaine, avait été saisie sur ordre du chancelier Michel Le Tellier et sous la pression de Bossuet, l’un des farouches adversaires de Simon. Quasiment tous les exemplaires furent alors brûlés en place publique. Précieux exemplaire de Jean Racine, avec sa signature autographe sur la page de titre. Le recensement des livres de la bibliothèque du grand tragédien a occupé les plus grands bibliographes, Paul Mesnard, le vicomte de Grouchy ou Quérard qui tentèrent, parmi d'autres, de la reconstituer à partir des recherches sur les minutes notariales (l'inventaire après décès), l'examen des exemplaires déposés à la Bibliothèque nationale par Racine puis par son fils Louis, l'étude de la collection achetée par Le Franc de Pompignan à la vente de Louis, rachetée par l'archevêque Loménie de Brienne et donnée à la bibliothèque des Jésuites de Toulouse (aujourd'hui collection publique), et enfin le dépouillement de ventes publiques. La liste la plus complète est certainement celle dressée par Paul Bonnefon en 1898 et dans laquelle cet exemplaire est cité. Oratorien considéré aujourd’hui comme le père de l’exégèse moderne, Richard Simon (1638-1712) fut exclu de la congrégation en raison de son approche critique des textes bibliques. Il suscita l’ire de l’Église romaine et des Protestants, et eut de nombreux démêlés avec les Jansénistes et Port-Royal.

DU HALDE, Jean-Baptiste (1674-1743). A Description of the Empire of China and Chinese-Tartary, together with the Kingdoms of Korea and Tibet. Translated from the French by Richard Brookes. London: T. Gardner for Edward Cave, 1738-1741. 2 volumes, 2° (403 x 245mm). 64 engraved plates, plans and maps after J.B.B-d'Anville and others, by E. Bowen, J. Basire, G. Child, R.W. Seale and others, of these 42 folding or double-page, including the large 'General map' at front of vol.I, hand-colored in outline. (Vol. I: general map with short tear at margin, costume plate opp. p. 280 with closed tears slightly affecting title, plate 8 with closed marginal tears, vol. II: 3P-3Q slightly waterstained at upper margin, both vols. with occasional light spotting and soiling, some plates with old extensions to outer margin.) Contemporary calf (rebacked, preserving old gilt spines, some scuffing to covers). Provenance: titles inscribed 'No. 5, no. 6', contemporary marginal note (vol. I, p. 244). SECOND AND BEST ENGLISH EDITION of Du Halde's encyclopaedic survey, based on the reports of 17 Jesuit missionaries. The first edition of 1736 contained only 20 maps and plates. This edition comprises 42 maps based on Jesuit surveys carried out between 1708 and 1718, and 22 other plates showing costume, smaller town plans, scenes from court life and other subjects. The large 'General map' incorporates Bowen's corrections of d'Anville's longitudinal markings. An unprecedented amount of knowledge is likewise conveyed in the one thousand text pages, fuelling the contemporary taste for chinoiserie. The work is also notable for including an account of Bering's 1728 voyage to Siberia through the eponymous straits (vol.II, pp.382-84). The double-page 'Map of Capt. Beering's Travels from Tobolsk to Kamtschatka' (opp. p.382) is based on the manuscript map which he gave to the king of Poland before it was passed to Du Halde.

Seale and others (42 folding or double-page, including the large general map at the front of vol.I, hand-colored in outline). (Occasional small marginal tears and some light staining.) Contemporary blindstamped calf (rebacked). Provenance: Webster (owner's signature, dated 1847). Second edition in English, of Du Halde's encyclopaedic survey, based on the reports of 17 Jesuit missionaries. It is probably the most celebrated of all the 18th-century accounts and was a prime source for the new fashion of chinoiserie. The engravings comprise 42 general and regional maps, and 22 other plates showing costume, smaller town plans, scenes from court life and other subjects. The maps were based on the Jesuit surveys carried out between 1708 and 1718. The large general map in vol.I incorporates Bowen's corrections of d'Anville's longitudinal markings. In addition to the information on China the present work is also notable for it's information on Alaska. "An Account of the Travels of Capt. Beerings, into Siberia" (volume II, pp.382-384), details Bering's 1728 voyage through the eponymous straits; the double-page "A Map of Capt. Beering's Travels from Tobolsk to Kamtschatka" bound between pp.382 and 383 is based on Bering's manuscript map, which was given to the King of Poland and in turn was passed to Du Halde to be reproduced here. This edition is considered the best edition in English: the first edition published in 1736 contained only 20 maps and plates.

Ogilby's account of CHARLES II'S (1630-1685) return to London for his coronation at Westminster Abbey in 1661, thus restoring the monarchy to the throne in Britain after several years of rule by Oliver Cromwell. The first five plates, each double-page and in four horizontal rows, form a panorama of Charles II's coronation procession. The additional double-page plates illustrate the trophies of Marius, a procession on foot in six horizontal rows, and the choir at Westminster Abbey filled with spectators, while the four single-page plates depict triumphal archways erected for the occasion. In addition to descriptions of the archways, a short narrative of the coronation is included in which the order of the procession is listed as well as the order of the ceremony.
