Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Paris 2024. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Broché collé . Couverture illustrée . Format in-8°( 24 x 16 cm )( 312 gr ). ------ 227 pages . **************************** 4ème de Couverture : "" Aigues-Mortes est une cité magique, envoûtante, prenante à tel point qu'on est toujours à se demander quelles raisons mystérieuses ont pu déterminer les conseillers et les ingénieurs du roi Louis ix à choisir ce lieu aride et désert, entouré de marais malsains et dépourvu d'eau potable, pour y bâtir une ville qui, dans l'esprit de ses créateurs, devait devenir le centre commercial et maritime du royaume de la Méditerranée. René JEANNOT Durant son année de captivité en Égypte, en 1250, Saint Louis a eu plusieurs entretiens avec les émirs qui le retenaient prisonnier. Dans ces conversations, il a eu des surprises. Lui qui était venu dans l'idée dominante en Chrétienté que les musulmans n'avaient pas de religion, mais étaient des païens ensorcelés par le sorcier Mahomet, il s'aperçut que les émirs étaient, quoique dans l'erreur, des hommes profondément religieux, parfois plus que les meilleurs chrétiens. Jacques LE GOFF Ce moment historique de la fin du xiiie siècle, qui coïncide avec l'accession au trône de Jacques II en 1291, se traduit par une rénovation de la manière de percevoir le monde méditerranéen depuis Barcelone. L'argent arrive sans aucun obstacle à la ville, qui se montre à chaque fois plus réceptive aux valeurs mercantiles. D'autre part les partisans de la conquête militaire n'avaient bénéficié qu'épisodiquement d'un meilleur support auparavant. Le point commun à ces faits est la consolidation de l'État monarchique. Sous Jacques II, Barcelone s'oriente vers le modèle économique qui s'était formé en Sicile, sous le règne de Frédéric II, et qui était en fait bien antérieur. Jose Enrique RUIZ-DOMÈNEC Jihad et croisade ont pour particularité d'être deux violences sacrées, inspirées et justifiées par la foi, et ont façonné profondément les mentalités respectives de l'Islam et de l'Occident. Chrétienté et Islamité s'étaient affrontées dès le départ dans un duel sans merci. À la fin du XVIe siècle, la balance commença à pencher sérieusement en faveur de la Chrétienté. Mohamed TALBI Nous avons la chance d'avoir à ce propos le témoignage du roi lui-même, dans sa lettre d'août 1250, que corroborent les souvenirs du sire de Joinville sur les propos tenus au cours du conseil qui suivit l'arrivée des nouvelles d'Égypte (§437). « Nous étions venus au secours de la Terre sainte », écrivait le roi pour justifier sa décision de différer son retour en France jusqu'à ce qu'il eût remédié à l'état de la Syrie franque. Et Joinville lui fait dire : « Si je m'en vais, cette terre est perdue. J'ai donc considéré qu'à aucun prix je ne laisserai le royaume de Jérusalem se perdre, lui que je suis venu protéger et conquérir. Jean RICHARD Le moment est venu de conclure, en disant que la Méditerranée à l'époque de Saint Louis, ce n'est peut-être plus le nombril du monde. Ce qu'il me paraît intéressant de voir, c'est que, jusque-là, les différentes nations - enfin nations est un terme impropre, disons les différents ensembles civilisés - vivaient autour de la Méditerranée comme des grenouilles autour d'une mare, mais, à partir de l'époque de Saint Louis, le monde se dilate, il va depuis le Maroc jusqu'à Pékin, depuis Londres jusqu'à la mer Rouge et la Perse : il y a donc une sorte de déplacement de ce centre du monde qu'il me paraît important de souligner.

Full Calf. Condition: Very Good. First Trade Edition. Bound in full red calf by Sangorski & Sutcliffe. 12mo. 18 by 12.5 cm. xxx, [2], 236 pp. 130 Brock illustrations. The Sangorski & Sutcliffe binding is fairly plain, with gilt ruled borders on the boards, but ornate gilt decoration in the spine compartments between the raised bands. All edges gilt. Endpapers unusual, we think -- not a marbled paper, more like a country kitchen wallpaper. The leather is healthy, in the sense it is supple and bright generally, but there is rubbing along the joints and spine extremities, some minor gilt loss, and corners have ever so slightly show wear. Border of FEP has band of heavy browning which tracks perfectly the turn-ins opposite. Trivial soiling of leaves; overall, the book does read as a clean, and tight, copy. Charles E. Brock (illustrator).…

Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Hard cover, 8 vo. (5" x 7 1/2") in unusually pretty duck egg blue full calf, 236 pp. First illustrated trade edition in a alternative binding (not signed.) Four gilt rose sprigs decorate the corners of the front and rear boards. The spine has intertwining gilt rose branches climbing through the author and title. All edges are gilt, including board edges and spine edges, as well as the elaborately tooled turn-ins. Endpapers are in a cream and purple "spatter" pattern, with a modern bookplate. Preface by Alfred Ainger, and One Hundred and Thirty Illustrations by Charles E. Brock. Printed by R. and R. Clark, Edinburgh. CONDITION: Near Fine. Very slight wear to boards and a couple of corners. Spine is lightly sunned. Overall, however, the book makes an excellent, and elegant, impression. The interior is fresh and bright with only a couple of small spots of foxing on the end papers. Hinges are in order, and the gilt remains bright. **Author English poet and humorist Thomas Hood (1799-1845), born above a bookshop in London, would later begin his poetry career in Dundee whilst recovering from an illness. Despite his humble beginnings, Hood's early verse gained the attention of Coleridge and Charles Lamb, the tale of which is told in Ainger's Preface to this volume.*This was book illustrator Charles E. Brock's debut in lavishly illustrated "gift books", published during this period. The expressiveness of his pen and ink illustrations have been favorably compared to the work of fellow book artist Hugh Thomson. Brock and Hood would work together at the Magazine Punch during this time. Charles E. Brock (illustrator). Book.…
