    L'Ecumoire, histoire japonoise. [Tansaï et Neadarné]. Nouvelle edition.

    Amsterdam et Leipzig: Chez Arkstée et Merkus, 1743. Although entitled a new edition, this is a first edition thus. A scarce Dutch counterfeit edition of this scandalous work. Text in French. Issued under the title "L'Ecumoire" whilst the original was Tansaï et Neadarné. Bizarrely, the original title was used at the head of each page - so if this was an attempt to disguise the work, it was a fairly thin disguise. The original text only edition - published 1734 - was addressed to Beijing. In this edition, a frontispiece engraving is repeated in each volume. This shows the Emperor of China and his Court with monkeys in the trees. The preface claims that this is a classic work…

    Amsterdam et Leipzig: Chez Arkstée et Merkus, 1743. Although entitled a new edition, this is a first edition thus. A scarce Dutch counterfeit edition of this scandalous work. Text in French. Issued under the title "L'Ecumoire" whilst the original was Tansaï et Neadarné. Bizarrely, the original title was used at the head of each page - so if this was an attempt to disguise the work, it was a fairly thin disguise. The original text only edition - published 1734 - was addressed to Beijing. In this edition, a frontispiece engraving is repeated in each volume. This shows the Emperor of China and his Court with monkeys in the trees. The preface claims that this is a classic work of Chinese antiquity. Title pages both in red and black. Bound in full speckled leather, with contemporary designs in gilt to the spine, and burgundy title label. Very slight rubbing to the binding only, in very presentable condition. Internally, a fresh work, with just a touch of marking to the pages. The recto of the rear end paper has some doodle lines to it, in pencil. The book was both popular and scandalous from its publication. It was considered a criticism of the Papal Bull Unigenitus (against Jansenism) and of Cardinal de Rohan, and Crébillon found himself imprisoned following these accusations. The lead character, Tanzai, is looking for a wife, despite the prophecy forbidding him to do so. He falls in love with the beautiful Neadarné, and their marriage takes place. The wedding night is rudely disrupted, and they must embark on a fantastical journey to free themselves from a curse. It was so inventive, that it led Voltaire to write in 1735: "I don't know anything as crazy as this book. If I had done it I would have been burned." (2) XVIII (4) 208 pp; (6) 328 pp. 135 x 80 mm (5¼ x 3¼ inches).

    . Bien qu'il s'agisse d'une nouvelle édition, il s'agit d'une première édition. Rare édition néerlandaise contrefaite de cet ouvrage scandaleux. Texte en français. Publié sous le titre "L'Ecumoire" alors que l'original était Tansaï et Neadarné. Bizarrement, le titre original a été utilisé en tête de chaque page - donc s'il s'agissait d'une tentative de déguiser l'ouvrage, c'était un déguisement assez mince. L'édition originale en texte seul - publiée en 1734 - était adressée à Pékin. Dans cette édition, une gravure en frontispice est répétée dans chaque volume. Elle représente l'empereur de Chine et sa cour avec des singes dans les arbres. La préface affirme qu'il s'agit d'un ouvrage classique de l'antiquité chinoise. Les pages de titre sont en rouge et en noir. Reliure en plein cuir moucheté, avec des motifs contemporains dorés au dos et une étiquette de titre bordeaux. Très légers frottements à la reliure seulement, en très bon état. L'intérieur de l'ouvrage est frais, avec juste un peu de marquage sur les pages. Le recto de la dernière page de garde présente quelques lignes gribouillées au crayon. Le livre a été à la fois populaire et scandaleux dès sa publication. Il fut considéré comme une critique de la bulle papale Unigenitus (contre le jansénisme) et du cardinal de Rohan, et Crébillon se retrouva emprisonné à la suite de ces accusations. Le personnage principal, Tanzai, cherche une épouse, malgré la prophétie qui le lui interdit. Il tombe amoureux de la belle Neadarné, et leur mariage a lieu. La nuit de noces est brutalement interrompue et ils doivent s'embarquer dans un voyage fantastique pour se libérer d'une malédiction. Ce livre était si inventif qu'il a conduit Voltaire à écrire en 1735 : "Je ne connais rien d'aussi fou que ce livre. Si je l'avais fait, on m'aurait brûlé". (2) XVIII (4) 208 pp ; (6) 328 pp. 135 x 80 mm (5¼ x 3¼ pouces).

He was a French Huguenot, (his actual name was Jean Guillaume de la Fléchère.) and came to England in 1740. He spent most of his career as curate of the Parish of Madeley. Although a key Methodist, he always remained loyal to the Church of England.

This hand coloured lithograph is #16 in a series for the Encyclopédie Bouasse Lebel - other lithographs from this series were produced in 1839. There was also a matching lithograph showing the male religious orders. Our copy is pasted onto a stiff mounting board (and has been mounted at some point) so it is a good, strong copy, without edgewear. A little darkening to the sheet only. A couple of the black habits have a touch of surface loss (easy not to notice) it looks as if the paint has been pressed against the glass frame at some point and left some behind. The design shows us the representatives of the monastic orders dressed in their particular costume, full-length, head-on, in front of a grotto and convent behind. Although the costumes are exact, there are variations depending on the convent. Sheet is 52 cm X 66 cm (20½ by 26 inches). picture area 31 cm x 61 cm.

    . Première édition. Bel exemplaire de cette lithographie représentant 44 des ordres religieux féminins. Illustration coloriée à la main, avec des notes sur chaque ordre ci-dessous. Une lithographie rare dans ce grand format. Le Musée d'Art Religieux date l'original de cette lithographie entre 1714 et 1719. Cette lithographie coloriée à la main est la 16e d'une série pour l'Encyclopédie Bouasse Lebel - d'autres lithographies de cette série ont été produites en 1839. Il y avait également une lithographie correspondante montrant les ordres religieux masculins. Notre exemplaire est collé sur un carton de montage rigide (et a été monté à un moment donné) ; il s'agit donc d'un bon exemplaire, solide, sans usure des bords. Un petit assombrissement sur la feuille seulement. Quelques habitudes noires présentent une légère perte de surface (facile à ne pas remarquer), comme si la peinture avait été pressée contre le cadre en verre à un moment donné et avait laissé des traces. Le dessin nous montre les représentants des ordres monastiques vêtus de leur costume particulier, en pied, de face, devant une grotte et un couvent à l'arrière. Bien que les costumes soient exacts, il y a des variations selon les couvents. La feuille mesure 52 cm x 66 cm (20½ x 26 pouces). La surface de l'image est de 31 cm x 61 cm.

The spine is a little rubbed, and there is no gilt to the titles so they are very faintly embossed. Internally the book is clean and tidy with just a little darkening to the page edges. William Hume (1651-1714) was the Vicar of Tavistock and Milton Abbot in Devon from 1696-1714. His son (John Hume) became Bishop of Bristol, Oxford, and Salisbury. xxiii, [i], 410, [6]. pp.
