[DIDEROT (Denis)]: Les Bijoux des Dames, indiscrets. Ou Avantures & anecdotes particulières du Royaume du Congo. Pekin, s.n., 1756. Three parts bound in one volume. Bound with: NOCRION, conte Allobroge. 7.5 by 13.8 cm. (4)-162-(2); (2)-209-(2); 201-(2) pages. Followed by 36 pages. Contemporary full marbled basane, 5-rib ornate spine, red title page, roulette on edges. Two 3.5 cm cracks on the spines, without affecting the solidity of the work. Some freckling, and a few pages with pale marginal wetness. Nocrion has browned paper. Otherwise a good copy. Les Bijoux indiscrets is a libertine novel published anonymously by Denis Diderot in 1748. The edition was clandestine, with no publisher's name, but it was published by the bookseller Laurent Durand. Our copy is from the second edition, published with a slightly different title. A rare book... This allegory, Diderot's first work of fiction, depicts Louis XV as Sultan Mangogul of the Congo, who receives from the genie Cucufa a magic ring that possesses the power to make women's vulvas ("jewels") speak. While most of the novel focuses on the different types of ladies of the Court and of the world, whether prudish or coquettish, English or Turkish, there is also room for debates on the ideas at work in French society at the time: praise for Voltaire, the history of mathematics, the fate of the Jansenists, and more. DIDEROT appears in this text combining humor and philosophy... Nocrion is a tale attributed to Thomas-Simon GUEULETTE. It is an erotic tale, the 1st edition of which appeared in 1747. Probably a forgery. No title page (if there was one...).

Lyon, amable Leroy, 1780-1781. 6 volumes. 45 volumes in all. 19 by 25.5 cm. Contemporary half vellum, black titles, with fine handmade paper on boards. Copy in poor condition. Some loss to spines, sometimes dusty, and to title-pieces, some corners crushed. Marginal foxing on several volumes, not serious, more pronounced on volume 6 and on the false titles. A few rare fine wormholes, on few pages and always in the margins.

Portrait of DIDEROT at the head of volume 1. Third edition, in in-4 format, of this formidable work, which revolutionized the dissemination of knowledge in Europe, spreading the spirit of the Enlightenment. 36 volumes of text, 6 volumes of tables, and three volumes of plates.
