GUICHENON (Samuel). Histoire généalogique de la royale Maison de Savoie. ÀTurin, chez Jean-Michel Briolo, 1778-1780. 4(sur5) volumes in-folio, 24[ciphered vàxxviii without missing]-435-(1) +458 +444 +(6)-406-(6of which the last is blank)pp., titles printed in red and black, fawn half-basin with corners, spine ribbed with title and giblets (red and green for the 3 volumes of History and blond for the volume of proofs), red edges; second part of tomeIV missing (continuation of the proofs, including the Bibliotheca Sebusiana), bindings rubbed with slightly stained spines, a small handwritten paper label at the head of the first volume, one headband and corners worn (period binding). Enlarged edition of this classic work, originally published in 1660, "more beautiful than [the original], as rare, but less sought-after" (Saffroy, vol.III, n°50107). Extensively illustrated: 54 copper-engraved compositions, mostly by Luigi Valperga, (mainly portraits and representations of funerary monuments), including one in repetition to the titles, comprising 4 hors texte including 3 fold-outs; and over 310 wood-engraved vignettes (mainly sigillographic, numismatic and heraldic representations). The first modern historiographical work on Savoy. This vast Histoire généalogique, which took ten years to write, links numerous historical accounts in the order of succession of the dukes, with detours to evoke the fate of personalities belonging to the family's lateral branches. In this work, commissioned by the Duchess of Savoy, Christine de France (daughter of HenriIV), Samuel Guichenon certainly sets out to demonstrate the antiquity and power of the Savoyard dynasty, while insisting on its links with the House of France, but he applies the scientific methods of French historiography as established by Étienne Pasquier and Claude Fauchet. Unlike his predecessors, who confined themselves to compiling annals and ancient chronicles, Samuel Guichenon systematically sought to compare earlier versions, and above all to establish a corpus of reliable sources by copying original documents. As a result, despite a few errors, the work is still of great use to historians today. The greatest historian of Savoy. Samuel Guichenon (1607-1664) was born into a Protestant family in Mâcon, but converted in 1631. He first worked as a lawyer in Bourg-en-Bresse, before marrying well and devoting himself entirely to historical works. The publication of his Histoire de Bresse et du Bugey (1650) brought him to the attention of the learned world and earned him the posts of historiographer of France and historiographer of Dombes. He then entered the service of the Duchess of Savoy, Christine de France (1606-1663), who in turn appointed him historiographer of Savoy and commissioned him to write the history of the Savoy dynasty - which he did with the present work. Provenance: Counts of Antioch (ex-libris vignettes).

Recueillies et mises en forme par noble et discret missire Jehan de Bourdigne prestre, Docteur es droiticts, et depuis reveues et additionnees par le Viateur [Jean PELERIN]. Paris, Couteau & Angers, Clément, 1529. In-folio, brown calf, ribbed spine decorated with gilt small irons, gilt fillets framing the covers with motifs in spandrels and central medallion, gilt edges (period binding). Fine edition in Gothic type of this famous chronicle of Anjou, composed by Canon Jean de Bourdigné and completed by a fellow Angevin by the name of Jean Pélerin, known as the Viator, the author of the famous Livre de perspective. The illustration features a handsome title in red and black, set in a large architectural frame by Galliot du Pré with the shield of France on the reverse, a large full-page woodcut depicting the author offering his book to Louise de Savoie, mother of François I, a woodcut in the text showing the Trojans building the city of Angers, a number of other woodcuts in the text, numerous lettering and Galliot du Pré's mark on the last leaf. A unique work by Jean de Bourdigné, who was born in Angers towards the end of the 15th century and died there in 1547; doctor of law, canon of Saint-Laud and then Saint-Maurice. This chronicle, which stretches from the time of the Flood to 1529, is recognized as a valuable historical source in its final chapters (he has personal memories and information on events close to him: his father was in Ravenna, and he witnessed the King's entry into Angers in 1518). Naturally, he expands on the people and things of Anjou. He insists on the acts of Louise de Savoie, to whom the book is dedicated as Duchess of Anjou). A fine copy presented here in its rare period binding, which has been skilfully and recently restored. The text has been previously washed but has retained excellent inking. Restorations in the upper and lower parts of the title page and in the upper margins of leaves III, IV, VIII to XI, XXXIII, XXXIV, XXXIX, XL, XLV & XLVI are to be noted. & XLVI. without missing, restorations to leaves XCIX. & C with loss of a few letters on the sur-title but without affecting the text, and a wormhole in the sur-title over most of the work, more pronounced on the last 10 leaves (but still without affecting the text).
