2 SS. 8vo. An Gräfin Philippine Schlik mit der Mitteilung, dass er auf Christine wartet, die dabei ist, einen Roman für die Gräfin zu kaufen, und er zu diesem Anlass ein spöttisches Gedicht "Faute de livre bon à lire" ("Fehler eines gut zu lesenden Buches") verfasst hat. Ein solches Buch - so Ligne - entstelle und verkleide jedes Abenteuer denen, die sich dort wiedererkennen. Am Ende rät er der Gräfin noch mit ironischem Unterton, sein Buch ins Feuer zu werfen, und merkt an, dass es andererseits womöglich auch zwei Buchhändler ohne Bücher gäbe, da Christine gerade unverrichteter Dinge zurückgekehrt sei: "En attendant que Christine [hs. eingefügt: des Fürsten Schwester, Fürstin Clary] trouve quelque Roman ou ouvrage passable a envoyer à Votre bien belle et excellent Excellance [hs. eingefügt: Gräfin Philippine Schlik], [.] Voicy un dètéstable de ma facon. - Faute de livre bon a lire [.] Défigurant chaque avanture | La déguisant a qui s'y reconnaît, | de quelques bons moments vous verrés la peinture, | et de qui j'aimai le portrait. | Cachant le nom, et voilant chaque trait, | Je ne suis pas même coupable. [.] Enfin, il en est encore Tems, chere Comtesse. Jettés mon livre au feu; ou dites que Vous n'avés pas Voulu le lire. Mais songés qu'il y a icy deux libraires sans livre, et que Christine qui rentre chés moi, n'en a pas encore trouvé [.]". - Mit kleiner Notiz zu Personen und Ort von anderer Hand.…

Store description
We have been dealing in valuable books, manuscripts, and autographs since 1883. As members of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), the Verband der Antiquare Österreichs (Austrian association of antiquarian booksellers), as well as the Verband deutscher Antiquare e.V. (German association of antiquarian booksellers), we are bound by these organizations' code of ethics. A large proportion of our customers is made up of institutions, including renowned international universities and major state libraries. We keep contact with our private customers at international book fairs and through our online catalogues. You are welcome to visit us on our business premises from Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM. We are happy to take buying orders for the important book auctions in Germany and Austria, which we attend regularly. We dedicate special attention to the estates and archives of important personalities of the arts and sciences in European and world history. Through specially prepared archive catalogues we have been able to sell the archives of Viktor Léon (librettist, 1859-1940), Leo Fall (operetta composer, 1873-1925), Lotte Lehmann (singer, 1888-1976), Otto Tressler (actor, 1871-1865) and Max Reinhardt (director, 1873-1743), as well as the last privately owned important original manuscripts by Ludwig Wittgenstein (philosopher, 1889-1951). Along the lines of this specialization our buying policy concentrates especially on these fields.…
