Hardcover. Condition: Internally Good +. Scarce work on Christian heresy by the French poet Carel de Sainte Garde, which examines heretical movements from the Scribes and Pharisees to the Quietists of France in the 1670s and 1680s. "Presbyteriens" and Quakers are also included here, with descriptions of the persecution of several Quakers, including founder George Fox, Syndercomb, and "Margeuritte Fett (sic)" (Fox's wife). With an interesting period manuscript annotation at the rear end paper pertaining to 2 specific beliefs of Tatian (Tatien), an Assyrian Christian theologian of the 2nd century. These are: Tatien's condemnation of marriage as nothing more than an invention of the devil; and his rejection of drinking wine, as an evil which resulted in Lot's committing incest with his two daughters (see p62). 4to, iv, [14], 496 pp. Each chapter with ornate engraved headpieces. In the original full leather binding, with ornate gilt decoration, and oval gilt device with 3 fleur de lys at front board. Full French mottled calf, bold dentelles. Severely damaged at edges.

Draft script for the 1976 French-British film. Based on the "Asterix" comic book series by writer Goscinny and illustrator Uderzo, a series that began in 1959, serialized in Pilote magazine, and ran until Goscinny's death in 1977, afterwards written by Uderzo until 2009. The series has spawned thirteen films, four of them live-action, games, and a theme park near Paris, as well as selling over 300 million copies of "Asterix" books worldwide. "Twelve Tasks" is the only Asterix film based on an original screenplay rather than material from the comic books, and was later adapted into a comic book and a series of illustrated children's book. Julius Caesar challenges the Gauls to a series of twelve tasks, inspired by the Twelve Labors of Hercules, but different since those are "outdated." Of course, Asterix and Obelix succeed at each humorous, satirical challenge, causing Caesar to retire to a house in the country with Cleopatra, and leaving the heroes in charge of the Roman Empire. Goldenrod titled wrappers. Title page present, undated, with credits for screenwriters Goscinny and Uderzo, and writer Hall. 101 leaves, with last page of text numbered 99. Mechanical duplication.

First Edition. 12mo, pp.[xxxvi], 130; bound without final blank L6; typographic ornaments to title, woodcut and typographic headpieces, woodcut initials; a very few light marks, a few shoulder notes trimmed without loss of sense, but a very good copy; bound in nineteenth-century French dark blue morocco, spine gilt in compartments and lettered directly in gilt, turn-ins roll-tooled in gilt, edges gilt, marbled endpapers, green silk placemarker; very slightly rubbed, minimal dampstaining at head of endpapers; old bookseller's description to front pastedown.First edition, very rare, of this poetic account of the expulsion of the Saracens from France by Childebrand I and Charles Martel, written by Jacques Carel de Sainte Garde, almoner and counsellor to Louis XIV. Carel (16201684) was ridiculed by Nicolas Boileau in his Art poétique for choosing the little-known Childebrand (c.678751) as the hero of his epic poem, although the suggestion that an edition had been published in 1666 under the title Childebrand, ou les Sarrazins chassez de France has been disproven. In the 1668 edition, he changed the title to Charle Martel, ou les Sarrazins chassez de France in honour of Childebrand's more famous brother, whose victory against Arab invaders at the Battle of Tours in 732 is considered a landmark in the history of western Europe. Yet as seems evident from the dedication to the Sun King which opens this edition (alternately published with and without the added subtitle 'Première partie'), Carel intended Childebrand to be the focus of his poem. By the time of the 1679 edition, Charle Martel had grown to sixteen books. Prefaced by a short treatise on versification in heroic poetry, this first edition is divided into four books, recounting the struggle of Charles Martel and Childebrand against the 'Sarrasins' from the aftermath of the Battle of Tours to the Frankish victory at the Siege of Narbonne. No copies traced in the UK and only two in the US (Harvard, Yale); OCLC records only three other copies worldwide (BnF, Caen, Göttingen).

Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. Jacques Carel de Sainte-Garde, Le Mercure Espagnol apportant quelques mémoires et nouvelles curieuses de Madrid. Sur les Festes ou Combats de Taureaux. Sur le serment de fidélité qu'on preste solemnellement aux successeurs de la Couronnes d'Espagne. Sur le Mariage des Infantes. Sur les Proverbes, les Moeurs, les Maximes et le Génie de la Nation Espagnolle. Paris [Amsterdam?], suivant la copie imprimée, 1670. Petit in-12, 132p. Contrefaçon très rare de l'édition originale et probablement plus rare que celle-ci, parue en 1670 chez Léonard sous le titre Mémoires curieux envoyés de Madrid sur les festes ou combats de Taureaux.etc. Cet ouvrage, paru anonymement, a été attribué par Alfred Morel-Fatio (1850-1924) grâce aux quelques indices laissés par l'auteur. Jacques Carel de Sainte-Garde (1620-1684) était un poète originaire de Rouen. Il était aussi aumônier et conseiller de Louis XIV. Ce texte est probablement le plus ancien texte en français sur la tauromachie (p.5 à 44). Nous n'avons trouvé que deux exemplaires, de l'édition originale, passés en vente récemment, presque en même temps (Coll. René Cluzel, Paris, Yann Le Mouël, 17 mars 2021, n°1 & Bordeaux, Briscadieu, 13 mars 2021, n°208), et l'ouvrage manquait à toutes les autres collections taurines passées en vente ces quarante dernières années. En revanche, nous ne trouvons aucun exemplaire de la contrefaçon passé récemment sur le marché. Voici ce que dit notamment Carel : « ils n'aiment que le sang, c'est l'extrême plaisir qu'on les voit prendre, les uns à couper en morceaux ces pauvres taureaux, d'autres à les percer de leurs longues épées. Ils disent que la fête n'est jamais aussi belle que lorsqu'elle est tragique. Sachant que c'est la première loi de cette réjouissance, aucun accident mortel ne doit l'arrêter si l'un des cavaliers vient à être blessé, il est contraint de prendre sa retraite. Les autres Toréadors peuvent l'accompagner jusqu'à la sortie, mais ils doivent revenir immédiatement sans perdre de temps, pour continuer le jeu. La scène rouvre comme si de rien n'était, après ces petites interruptions qui en font des intermèdes. L'un des plus grands plaisirs est de voir un taureau en colère chasser un Alguasil. Nous ne souhaitons rien tant que de les voir engagés à tirer l'épée pour se défendre. On voit parfois un taureau sortant du corral, ou au milieu de la place, qui courra de tête en tête contre des fantômes. Rien de plus grotesque ne peut être vu ». Si cet ouvrage, dans ses deux éditions, est rarissime sur le marché, le WorldCat et le CCfr nous donnent 17 exemplaires dans les bibliothèques publiques (dont 4 en France) pour l'édition originale et 8 (dont 2 en France) pour la contrefaçon. Cela confirme au passage que la contrefaçon est plus rare que l'édition originale. Lorsque Victor Hugo emprunta une dizaine de livres sur l'Espagne afin d'écrire son Ruy Blas, paru en 1838, il emprunte notamment cet ouvrage, comme le montre le registre des prêts des années 1834-1835 de la Bibliothèque Royale à la date du 15 janvier 1835. Cette information a bien entendu déjà été relevée, notamment par Gustave Simon qui en donne la liste dans le journal Le Temps daté du 28 août 1918. Ex-libris armorié en garde d'Albert de Badts de Cugnac (1841-1888), écrivain catholique du Nord. On remarquera d'ailleurs que « La Wallerie » peut avoir un lien avec une seigneurie d'Halluin, dans le Nord aussi. Cela peut confirmer cette lecture de l'ex-libris manuscrit, avec un livre qui serait resté longtemps dans le Nord de la France. Reliure plein veau début XVIIe, dos à nerfs joliment orné, pièce de titre maroquin, tranches rouges, superbe papier de garde à décor fleuri. Manque à la coiffe supérieure, mors fendillés en tête. Ouvrage très rare.…

2 parties en 1 vol. in-12 de (20)-229-(2) pp. et (4)-248-(2) pp., basane brune granitée, dos orné, tranches jaspées (reliure de l'époque). Édition définitive et remaniée de cette épopée héroïque, sortie des presses deJacques Langlois.Jacques Carel de Sainte-Garde (1620-1684), aumônier et conseiller du roi Louis XIV, avait publié ce poème en 1666 sous le titre Childebrand ou les Sarrazins chassez de France, du nom du frère de Charles Martel. Dès l'année suivante, l'auteur avait changé le titre en Charles-Martel, avant de procéder à la refonte de 1679. La cause en est connue : Boileau s'était moqué cruellement du nom mérovingien Childebrand dans son Art poétique (1674, chant III), satire qui contribua à faire de ce poème un symbole de la querelle entre les partisans de l'épopée nationale et les tenants de l'imitation antique.Précieux exemplaire d'association, enrichi d'une longue dédicace autographe signée de l'auteur adressée à Antoinette Deshoulières (Paris, 1638-1694), surnommée la « Dixième Muse » et « Calliope française » par ses contemporains, membre de l'Académie des Ricovrati de Padoue (1684) et première femme élue à l'Académie d'Arles (1689), qui lui valut d'être « la première femme académicienne en France », et non éligible, en tant que femme, à l'Académie française, bien qu'une de ses oeuvres y ait été lue en séance. Voltaire la tenait pour la plus réussie des femmes poètes de son temps.La dédicace de Sainte-Garde constitue un document rare pour l'histoire des femmes de lettres et de la Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes :« Pour Mme des Houlieres. On a soustenu que les Dames ne gousteroient point mon poëme parcequ'il estoit trop fort. J'ay repliqué que les Dames estoient capables de toutes les belles connoissances aussi bien que les hommes : l'Aspasie de Socrate. J'ay cité la dessus Madelle de Scuderi, qui avoit deia donner son suffrage en ma faveur, & je me suis fait fort du vostre. Ne permettez pas, Madame, que je perde ma cause. Vostre tres humble & tres obéissant serviteur Sainte-Garde ».Ex-libris manuscrit du couvent des Récollets de Saint-Germain-en-Laye sur la page de titre.
