Dialogue entre A, B et C sur la nature de l'éloquence, A ayant le rôle de Socrate et employant la maïeutique, B et C répondant aux questions de A. Les personnages discutent d'un sermon qu'ils viennent d'entendre et définissent à partir de là les qualités de la véritable éloquence en puisant ces dernières parmi les exemples des Anciens. Fénelon critique à la fois les Anciens et les Modernes, donnant la préférence à l'éloquence des saintes Ecritures. L'essai de Du Cerceau tente de caractériser la poésie française et ce qui fait la spécificité du vers par rapport à la prose. Les deux ouvrages s'étayent sur des analyses grammaticales assez fines et pertinentes (adjectifs, figures, génitif et ablatif.). | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition. Another edition appeared on the same date from Florentin Delaulne in Paris. Title page in red and black. Full old red morocco binding ca 1860, unsigned. Raised bands spine in Jansenist style decorated with blind compartments. Gilt title and "Edition originale" at foot. Double blind fillet frame on boards. Rich interior border. Edges gilt. Foxing, angular lack at head of leaf 45-46 not touching text, light rubbing at foot of spine, a very small marginal dampstain affecting some leaves at head, otherwise handsome copy, in an unsigned master binding. Dialogue between A, B and C on the nature of eloquence, A having the role of Socrates and employing maieutics, B and C responding to A's questions. The characters discuss a sermon they have just heard and from there define the qualities of true eloquence by drawing these from examples of the Ancients. Fénelon criticizes both Ancients and Moderns, giving preference to the eloquence of Holy Scripture. Du Cerceau's essay attempts to characterize French poetry and what makes verse specific in relation to prose. Both works are supported by quite subtle and pertinent grammatical analyses (adjectives, figures, genitive and ablative.). * (10) 374pp. (7).
