Cofia restaurada con discrección; cantos y puntas inferiores rozados. ligerísima rasgadura en margen exterior de portada y anteportada. Buen ejemplar, limpio y sólido.- // Proc.: Ex-libris manuscrito en margen superior de la portada C. Horrester.- // Primera edición de la versión definitiva de la 'Aritmética' de Barrême, quizás la obra de aritmética comercial más difundida del siglo XVIII. Efectivamente, la edición original, debida a François Barrême, había sido publicada por primera vez en 1672 (ver nuestra ref. C-0456), correspondiendo las ediciones posteriores a 1685 a una versión revisada por sus hijos que, con esta edición que ofrecemos, fue a su vez fuertemente corregida y ampliada a casi el doble de contenido para actualizarse y poder competir comercialmente con otro éxito de ventas de la contabilidad del momento, 'La science des négociants', de Mathieu de la Porte. Esta participación familiar en la actualización de la obra de Barrême fue posible porque la de los Barrême era un auténtica firma mercantil, establecida por François y seguida por su hijo Gabriel, su nieto Nicolás y los hijos de este, centrada en la contabilidad. Mantuvieron abierta una academia de contabilidad y teneduría de libros en París, sus miembros eran peritos del Tribunal de cuentas y, a lo largo de casi un siglo, editaron múltiples libros prácticos de aritmética comercial, cuentas hechas, tarifas, teneduría de libros, partidas dobladas., todo ello en perfecta retroalimentación. Un ejemplo es el mensaje contenido en la advertencia al lector que precede las 190 páginas de ampliación de este edición: "Es bien sabido que hay un montón de cosas de la Aritmética que no pueden ponerse en forma de libro y que necesitan ser aprendidas de la boca de un buen maestro". Las novedades incorporadas a esta edición, aparte de correcciones, recogen un tratamiento más en profundidad en materia de divisiones, fracciones, regla de proporciones y cálculo de aleaciones. Estas ampliaciones venían motivadas en que el problema al que se enfrentaba la aritmética comercial del momento era el de la necesidad de cubrir las operaciones con combinaciones de cantidades de un mismo tipo de bien (moneda, madera, aleaciones.) con cantidades de otros tipos de bienes, siendo de lo más dispar la manera de fraccionarse las unidades de unos y otros, tanto por la unidad de medida como por las proporción de unidad a la que correspondía una fracción en cada tipo diferente de bien. Algo casi incomprensible actualmente en la Europa continental, acostumbrados como estamos a la aplicación (.).

Osnabrück und Hamm, bey Philipp Heinrich Perrenon, 1789. Un volume in-8° (126 x 205 mm) de [8]+319+[1bl] pages. Reliure ancienne en pleine percaline lie de vin, pièce de titre verte, tranches marbrées de bleu. Première et unique édition. La vie de Johann Gottlieb Herrmann (1742-ca1806) s'apparente moins flamboyante toutefois à celle d'aventuriers tels que Casanova, Saint-Germain ou Cagliostro. Déserteur d'un régiment saxon en 1771, il changea dès lors une bonne demi-douzaine de fois d'identité, se parant volontiers du titre de baron, professeur d'université, écrivain et plagiaire, et même, un temps, pasteur à Berlin. Souvent démasqué comme un authentique imposteur, il disparaissait soudain de la circulation et refaisait surface un peu plus tard dans une autre région, sous une nouvelle identité et avec de nouvelles occupations. Fut-il vraiment franc-maçon? Rien n'est moins sûr, d'autant que les thèses «égyptiennes» développées dans le Mystagog étaient à l'époque largement diffusées dans le public et faisaient l'objet d'une abondante littérature. (Wolfstieg, 4868).

Clay, ca. 133 x 65 x 28 mm. A large, complete pillow-shaped tablet of biconvex cross-section, columns of cuneiform text to both broad faces and two side edges. An Old Babylonian letter from Iluni, ruler of Eshnunna, to Warassa, King of Der (now Tell Aqar, near modern al-Badrah), both of whom were younger contemporaries of Hammurabi. The communication touches upon several matters of regional politics at a volatile time when Eshnunna was seeking to preserve a modicum of independence while already de facto under the rule of Hammurabi of Babylon. - The message itself comprises 64 lines. Iluni begins with formulaic greetings invoking Tishpak, the god of the city of Eshnunna: "May the Sun god and Tishpak keep you in good health forever!" The continuation ("I kissed the flour of Ishtaran that you made me carry and as I prayed for my life, I prayed for your life") shows the relationship between writer and recipient to be excellent. - In the body of the letter, Iluni addresses three different topics. Firstly, he justifies his delay in sending to Der soldiers that Warassa required of him: as Iluni explains, an Elamite embassy occurred in Eshnunna, and he underlines how much the interests of Der depend on those of his own city. The second subject concerns a group of inhabitants of Der who were arrested at the border of Eshnunna; Iluni blames them for not going to greet him. Lastly, Iluni tackles a question of the diplomatic relationship between Eshnunna, Der, Elam and "the troop of the Sea" - a reference to a new political force which was constituted in the south of Mesopotamia. It is in this context that Iluni announces that he wrote to the Elamite Kukannashur (Kuknashur), a useful point that establishes a new synchronism between Mesopotamian history and that of Elam. - While Eshnunna had managed to survive as an independent kingdom into the Old Babylonian period, it had been effectively brought under Hammurabi's suzerainty around 1762 BCE, after having sided with an Elamite rebellion that failed. Ultimately, Iluni would prove unsuccessful in navigating the various regional cross-currents and asserting even local authority over Eshnunna: according to an Akkadian inscription from Kish (Tell Uhaimir), now kept at the Yale Babylonian Collection, New Haven, he was defeated and put to death by Shamshu-iluna, Hammurabi's son and successor ("Iluni, the king of Eshnunna, who did not heed his words, he defeated, in a neck-stock he led him away, and his life he devoured", YBC 02296, surface a, col. 3, lines 5-11). - A few portions of the surface rubbed, affecting legibility, but generally well preserved. - From a specialised collection of cuneiform texts, the property of a London gentleman and housed in London before 1988. Thence by descent to family members. Examined by Professor Wilfrid George Lambert FBA (1926-2011), historian, archaeologist, and specialist in Assyriology and Near Eastern Archaeology, in the late 1980s and early 1990s. - For Iluni see J.-R. Kupper, art. "Iluni", in: Reallexikon der Assyriologie u. vorderasiatischen Archäologie, vol. 5 (1976-80), p. 63. For Warassa see N. Morello, art. "Warassa (2)", in: ibid., vol. 14 (2014), pp. 644f.
