Conlon 41: 497; European Americana 741: 93; Muller, Biblio. des Kaffee 91. "Previously 1st published, London, 1736, as Geoffroy's "A treatise of the fossil vegetable, and animal substances that are made use of in physick", which purports to be based upon a ms. of the author's lectures. American plants include balsam of Peru, cacao, ipecacuanha, Jamaica pepper, Virginian snakeroot, etc." (European Americana). "Etienne-François Geoffroy, a native of Paris, was a master apothecary and doctor of medicine in Paris. Geoffroy proposed a classification of chemical substances according to their greater or lesser "disposition to unite" with a reference substance. The idea that some substances could unite more easily than others was not new, but Geoffroy took credit for bringing together all available information in a large general table, later called the affinity table. The controversy between him and Louis LEMERY, one of his colleagues at the Académie, bears witness to the new way of practicing science, with everyone putting forward a conjecture that they tried to corroborate with experiments, and proposing new experiments to refute the opposing conjecture. This new art of scientific debate was to provide a solid foundation for the emerging science of chemistry.

Part 2: An engraved title for part 2, 43 moral emblems, and a final engraving. Complete (in 103 tables). Bands and initials. First edition of this work composed at the request of MAZARIN for the instruction of the young LOUIS XIV. GOMBERVILLE (1600-1674), writer, was one of the first members of the Académie Française. Part of his literary work focused on morality, and he became a Jansenist, ending his life in seclusion. Beautiful book of emblems. This is a reprint of Otto Vaenius' Emblemata horatiana (1607), with figures retouched by Pierre Daret, the book's engraver and editor. Above all, it's a morality book for children, with a complete teaching device that was new for the time: an illustration (a composite scene) of a moral precept, with an explanation of the engraving and the moral story it tells on the facing page. Below, in Latin, quotations from ancient authors on the same theme. And below the engraving, a short poem also centered on the moral precept evoked: four ways of approaching the moral precept.

Togroul Narimanbekov (1928-2013) (ТОГРУЛ НАРИМАНБЕКО) St. Basil's Cathedral (diptych) 1973 Oil on canvas signed and dated upper left in Cyrillic, mounted on board, countersigned and titled in Cyrillic on the back. 170 x 184 cm Provenance: > Union of Artists of the USSR, label on back. > Художественный салон по экспорту ХФ СССР (art salon for the export of the artistic philosophy of the USSR) label on back > Galerie de France, label on back Condition report: framed Togrul Narimanbekov, Azerbaijani painter and singer, was born in Baku. He is the first artist from his country to appear in France's encyclopedia of contemporary art. His artistic career is steeped in exceptional cultural diversity. Trained at the Azimzade School of Art in Baku, Narimanbekov continued his studies at the Fine Arts Academy in Vilnius. In the 1960s, he introduced innovative art forms to Azerbaijan, breaking with the canons of fine art imposed by Soviet ideology. His approach and style, totally at odds with the aesthetic criteria of socialist realism, laid the foundations for the Absheron school of painting. Alongside Ashraf Murad, Javad Mirjavadov, Tofig Javadov, Rasim Babayev, Kamal Akhmedov and Gennady Brijatyuk, he contributed to the emergence of a new art that flourished after the fall of the Soviet Union. Togrul Narimanbekov's work is characterized by a singular fusion of Azeri and European artistic traditions, combining abstract and figurative elements. Traditional ornamental motifs merge into swirling, brightly-colored compositions that evoke the traditions of Azerbaijani art. His impasto paintings are often imbued with a surreal dimension, oscillating between joyful and melancholy emotions, dancing and singing. Narimanbekov was named People's Artist of Azerbaijan in 1967 and received the USSR State Prize in 1980. He ended his life between Paris and Baku, passing away in the City of Light in 2013. The work presented here honors the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed, a 16th-century masterpiece emblematic of traditional Russian architecture. Located on Moscow's Red Square, this monument is famous for its colorful curves, whose shape and palette recall Togrul's swirling compositions and vivid colors. (MLD)
