Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Extraits des memoires authentiques du Duc de Saint-Simon (1694-1715). All text in French. Bound in full leather with gilt-ruled borders to upper and lower covers, four raised bands to spine with gilt titles and decoration to compartments, all edges gilt, gilt inner dentelles, marbled endpapers. Corners and edges a little rubbed, joints secure but just starting to crack at spine ends, gilt on top edge a little dulled, the other edges remain beautifully bright, hinges secure, contents otherwise clean and bright. There is a bookplate (of Henry Chamier) on front pastedown, and then on the title page there is an inscription (in French) reading "on behalf of the Duc de Saint-Simon to his good friend Mr Henry Chamier". The second and last French Duc de Saint-Simon died in 1755, well before the inscription in the present book, however the title did pass into the Spanish peerage and was used into the 19th century. It is not clear what is meant - was the inscription on behalf of a living Spanish Duque, or was it written by the owner of the book, feeling a kinship through his works with the deceased (probably first) French Duc de Saint-Simon? xxxi, 297 pages, plus table of contents. Size 17.1 x 11.4 x 2.5 cm. If you would like to browse the other books our shop has available online, please click on our shop's name.
