ALGAROTTI, Francesco | DUPERRON DE CASTERA, traducteur | [NEWTON, Isaac] Le Newtonianisme pour les Dames, ou Entretiens sur la lumière, sur les couleurs, et sur l'attraction. Traduits de l'italien de M. Algarotti, par M. Duperron de Castera. A Paris, chez Montalant, impr…imeur-libraire, 1738 2 tomes reliés en 1 volume petit in-8 (17,3 x 10,8 cm) de LXII-279-(9) et (2)-309-(11) pages Reliure strictement de l'époque pleine basane granitée marron, dos à nerfs richement orné aux petits fers dorés, pièce de titre de maroquin rouge, tranches mouchetées de rouge. Reliure fraîche en dépit de quelques épidermures sans gravité. Intérieur en excellent état, très frais. Bien complet des feuillets d'errata. Première édition française. Très intéressant ouvrage de vulgarisation scientifique à l'usage des dames. Enfin, de nombreux hommes du commun auront bien du mal, encore aujourd'hui, à appréhender ne serait-ce que quelques lignes de ce bon résumé de la science de Newton concernant la lumière, les couleurs et l'attraction terrestre ou gravité. Ce livre est un résumé, sous forme de dialogues, des entretiens qu'Algarotti eut avec Voltaire et Madame du Châtelet lors de son séjour à Cirey à la fin de l'année 1735. Nous assistons dans cet ouvrage à une conversation galante autour de la science des astres, etc. L'ouvrage d'Algarotti (1712-1764) a paru l'année précédente en 1737 en italien sous le titre : Il Newtonianismo per le dame Ovvero Dialoghi sopra la luce (publié à Naples). De la première édition française il existe deux états, avec ou sans les commentaires d'Algarotti. Notre exemplaire est avec les commentaires (premier état), qui seront supprimés dans le tirage suivant. En décembre 1738 La Marquise du Chatelet écrit à Maupertuis : "Le Newtonianisme pour les dames est traduit. Je ne sais si vous aurez la patience de le lire dans l'impertinente traduction de Castera. Je ne sais comment M. Algarotti s'en trouve. Il méritait bien, après avoir dédié son livre à l'ennemi de Newton, d'être traduit par un homme qui se déclare l'ennemi de Newton et le sien." Voltaire se fâche alors avec Algarotti lui reprochant d'avoir écrit une préface dédiée à Fontenelle, connu comme anti-newtonien. Par ailleurs cette première édition française du Newtonianisme pour les dames parait la même année que la première édition de la Philosophie de Newton par Voltaire, ce qui est un événement éditorial portant forcément à conséquence sur les ventes de l'ouvrage du sage philosophe de Cirey. L'ouvrage de Voltaire est resté vanqueur incontesté de ce duel vulgarisateur. Sans doute parce qu'un homme de théâtre célèbre et célébré est plus à même de donner le bon point de vue sur les sciences. Le Newtonianisme pour les dames traduit en français connaîtra cependant une seconde édition en 1739, puis encore une en 1741 et enfin une dernière en 1751. Bel exemplaire de cet ouvrage important dans l'histoire de la vulgarisation scientifique, aussi approximative soit-elle.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. Edition originale. in 12, de 8ff. 352 pp. 2ff., pl. maroquin havane XIXe, coiffe sup. très lég. usée, large dentelle intérieure dorée, tr. dorées. (Chatelin). Edition originale de cette rare utopie située dans le continent de Geonotie, « vers le pôle du Midi » (le pôle Sud), entouré « d'une mul…titude innombrable d'Isles de diverse grandeur » ; « on y trouve differens Royaumes & differens peuples, leurs moeurs ont peu de rapport avec nos coutumes, mais leurs coeurs ressemblent aux nôtres. ». Rosamidor et Theoglaphire voyagent d'île en île et leurs aventures sont relatées par un philosophie indien. L'auteur déclare dans sa préface avoir donné un « libre essor à son imagination », au lieu de s'assujettir aux lois qui avaient régi le Télémaque. Il justifie les noms étranges des lieux et des héros par leurs racines grecques et latines, imitant en cela « Thomas Morus dans son Utopie » et « Barclay dans le fameux roman d'Argénis. » L'ouvrage a inspiré Alan Moore, auteur de la bande dessinée « The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen », qui a repris le nom du continent Geonotie dans le 2e volume de la série. Quérard II/690 : « Il y a des exemplaires de cet ouvrage sous différents titres portant la même date (Aventures de Rosamidor et de Théoglaphire, Théâtre des passions., Amours infortunées de .) - Barbier sup. II, 10834 - Gove, pp. 278/279 (mentionne trois éditions différentes, alors qu'il s'agit d'une édition partagée) - Jones p. 45 - Gay amour, femmes III.1203.
