Jerome, St. Epistolae. Venice: Joannes Rubeus Vercellensis, 7 January and 12 July 1496, folio, ff. (i-xiv) 15-398 (numbered ix-390), contemporary calf over boards, Paduan in style, lacking clasps, rebacked, some wormholes, lower outer corner of first gathering a bit soiled, wormholes in the first gatherings, some marginal spotting, little tear without loss on f.174, few early marginal annotations Note: A substantial collective edition of the letters (and a few homilies) of St. Jerome, one of the Fathers of the Church. Jerome was the preeminent Christian scholar of his age, indeed he is one of very few examples of canonisation on grounds of exemplary service to the church rather than exemplary sanctity. In between his more substantial compositions, including the first bibliographical author catalogue, Jerome wrote letters on every subject under the sun but particularly anything controversial. Luther complained that Jeromees letters were only about fasting and virginity, but this is unfair. He was a pioneer in all fields of patrology and Biblical archeology. BMC V 419. Goff H-175.

Rousseau prie Messieurs de leoratoire de Mommorenci de vouloir bien accorder ˆ ses derniers ecrits une place dans leur bibliotheque; comme accepter le livre deun auteur neest pas adopter ses principes, il a cru pouvoir sans temerite leur demander cette faveur. A Mommorenci 29 Mai 1762", with a short note at foot in a later hand With a near contemporary transcript of a letter dated 16 Jan. 1763 from Rouseau to Baudoin-Cyprien-Antoine Dumoulin, published in Correspondence Complet de Jean Jacques Rousseau, Tom. 15, p.41, the original in Avignon, Bibliotheque Calvet, MS2702, folio 52-53. A rare presentation copy of the first octavo edition printed in Paris, published in late May 1762, concurrently with the 12mo edition. According to Jo-Ann McEachern the greater part of the duodecimo was imposed and printed before the octavo printing. However the preface and titles were printed initially in the octavo format, and it was the octavo that Rousseau received first and was the first to be distributed on 23 May 1762. Rousseaues educational treatise expounded his personal deist views, earning him the wrath of both clergymen and philosophers. The Parlement of Paris condemned both book and author, forcing Rousseau to flee France. However, despite the religious controversy it provoked, Emilefostered the Romantic movementes heightened appreciation of nature and strengthened the concept of the "noblesse sauvage." J.A. McEachern Bibliography of the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, vol. 2:1a; cf. Tchemerzine 10.46 Provenance: Three titles with contemporary inscription "Oratorii Montesmor, ex dono authoris, Catal. invent. 1774, Tab. O11, 16, E1.131"

Stencilled colour printing-Griffie, E. et Chaffary, P. Livre contenant des antiennes pour tierces des divers tems de leannee, des messes de solemnites, des Benedicamus [&c.]. Ville-moustausson, 1802, large folio (47.5 x 31cm.), one leaf, title-page and text stencilled in red, blue, black and gold, numerous two-line initials in colour, many with coloured borders, musical staves ruled in MS, panelled mottled calf, rubbed, corners soft, some margins thumbed, a little light soiling Note: Stencils were used, in the Low Countries and the South of France, for printing service-books in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. These were usually produced for a single church of abbey, in limited numbers, requiring minimal mechanisation, in the scriptorium. The implication of the title of this work however is that it was intended for wider publication but at the same time it is intended to resemble a manuscript. The title has capitals in red and blue in two sizes with three typographic ornaments in red. The first chant, for Jan. 1st, has eight lines of MS stave with stencilled text and music and two four-line initials in red with red & blue ornamental borders. As the work proceeds different borders appear and yellow is added to the intitials. The contents follow the churches year, but there is also a Messe Republicaine, Messe Imperiale and the work finishes with Lame[n]tationes Jeremiae. No copy has been traced.
