Cast in epistolary form, Part I recounts the mission of Ambassador de Nointel from Malta through the Archipelago to Constantinople, audiences with the Grand Vizier and the Sultan, and provides a detailed description of the city, the Bosphorus, and the Black Sea fortresses, together with discussions of Ottoman government, military and religious institutions, and capitulatory negotiations, concluding with a glossary of Turkish terms. Part II extends to voyages in the Archipelago, descriptions of Chios and Smyrna, an account of the Grand Vizier Köprülü Faz?l Ahmed Pasha and principal officers of the Empire, the circumcision festivities of the princes Mustafa II and Ahmed III, relations of Moldavia and Wallachia under their Phanariot rulers, Ottoman-Muscovite warfare including the siege of Czegrin, and a detailed narrative of the false messiah Sabbatai Zevi and Jewish life in the Levant. An essential early French source for Ottoman court life under Mehmed IV.

[22], 314 pp., [6], upper part of spine partly cracked at ends (not detached), title gilt & decoration on raised spine, small tear to top corner of last leaf with no loss to text, inscription on front fly leaf, occasional spotting. First original edition, dedicated to the King of France. Édouard de La Croix (often referred to as the Sieur de La Croix) was a French diplomat and orientalist, probably born around 1640, died in Paris in 1704. He stayed in the Ottoman Empire as embassy secretary between 1670 and 1686. In 1670, he accompanied the Marquis de Nointel as secretary when the latter joined his post as French ambassador to Constantinople; they arrived at the end of October in the Ottoman capital. Between January and April 1671, they traveled to Adrianople where Sultan Mehmed IV and Grand Vizier Faz?l Ahmet Köprülü resided. On June 5, 1673, after a long negotiation, Ambassador Nointel obtained the renewal of the capitulations between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of France; the Sieur de La Croix was instructed to deliver the original text of the agreements to Louis XIV (September 1673 - summer 1674). During this stay at the court of France, the Minister Colbert asked him, on his return to the East, to find him manuscripts for his library. #32018.

First edition. First edition. In contemporary leather. Spine with five raised bands, compartments gilt, titled. Tinted edges. (30), 370, (4) p. [Complete.]. First edition of Du Vignau's important work dealing with the decline of the Ottoman Empire. L'état présent de la puissance Ottomane was written after the unsuccessful siege of Vienna by the Ottomans in 1683 and the following withdrawal. It deals with the possible reasons led to the decline of the Ottoman Empire and provides an overview of the period Ottoman power. The book gained interest throughout Europe, and in the subsequent year a second edition was printed in the Hague and an English translation was also published. A year after the present work Du Vignau published another book Le Sécretaire turc. "In both works, he described himself as a former secretary at the French embassy in Istanbul, the 'secrétaire-interprète' to the King's fleet in the Mediterranean, and even a godson to Louis XVI. None of these claims appear to be true." (Ghobrial, 2013) Sieur des Joanots Du Vignau was a pseudonym invented by Édouard de La Croix who was indeed a secretary in the French embassy in Istanbul between 1670 and 1680 and again between 16851686. La Croix published his Mémoires in 1684 and four other books between 1686 and his death in 1704, among them Le Sécretaire turc and the present book. "The reason for his having used a pseudonym remains unclear. Interestingly, the two titles published under the name Du Vignau [], are the only books written by La Croix that were not dedicated to Louis XVI, but instead to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, an indication perhaps of his attempts to cultivate a new patron in the person of Cosimo III de' Medici." (Ghobrial, 2013) Scarce, we could trace only 3 copies in institutional holdings (BL; BnF; Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon).

Fine woodcut printer's device on title, woodcut port. on verso of the dedicatee, Henri III, & several woodcut illus. in the text. 22 p.l., 558, [5] pp. Folio, fine 18th-cent. marbled calf (joints & ends of spine very carefully repaired), arms in gilt on both covers of the great bibliophile. the duc d'Aumont, triple gilt fillet round sides, spine richly gilt, red morocco lettering piece on spine, a.e.g. Paris: A. l'Angelier, 1584. First edition, a fine copy from the library of the great bibliophile, the duc d'Aumont (1709-82), one of the outstanding book and art collectors of his age, with his arms in gilt on both covers. This is the first French national bibliography, a monumental work of fundamental importance for the history of French literature and scholarship. It has remained an indispensable reference and source book to this day, as attested by Brunet, Petzholdt, and Besterman. The roughly 3000 authors are arranged alphabetically by their given names, and La Croix du Maine gives succinct bio-bibliographical information for each. Our edition contains a remarkable proposal (not reprinted in the 18th-century edition) for the formation of a French national (royal) library housed in about 100 "noble" bookcases, of which a most attractive illustration is printed on p. 511. This woodcut appears to be the first illustration of library furniture in a printed book. La Croix du Maine also urges the arrangement of the books by a system that is quite close to a decimal classification. La Croix du Maine (1552-92), began this bibliography at the age of 17 and in the process accumulated a large library. A Protestant sympathizer, he was assassinated at 40 and was therefore unable to issue further volumes as he had planned. A fine copy. This copy appeared in the auction (lot 2977) of the library of the duc d'Aumont, which was sold in January 1783 in Paris by De Bure. ? Besterman, The Beginnings of Systematic Bibliography, pp. 24-25.

4 vols. (24), 484, (28) pp. (4), 470, (18) pp. (4), 599, (1), 89 (1) pp. (40), 411, (5) pp. With a total of 2 engr. frontispieces (in vols. 1 and 4). Original French calf with giltstamped spine. Encompassing study of the Ottoman Empire in the late 17th century, at a time when its power in Europe was waning, but it remained a force to be reckoned with. Rare, especially when including the 4th volume ("Suite de l'Etat general de l'Empire otoman [.] Quatrieme tome") which contains accounts of the state of the Greek, Armenian and Maronite churches in the Ottoman Empire. "According to the Gennadius Library, this was translated by Petis de la Croix and edited by La Croix. In fact the privilege is ceded to La Croix, former secretary of the French embassy at Constantinople. It seems likely that there must be a family connection between the two, although the original family of Petis de la Croix was Petis, not La Croix" (Atabey). - Binding slightly rubbed, but on the whole in good condition. The Atabey copy (3 volumes only) commanded £15,000 at Sotheby's in 2002 (lot 646). - Atabey 651. OCLC 470426837. Not in Blackmer or Cobham-Jeffrey.
