Description

[Manuscript]. [Gaudriole]. [PIDANSAT DE MAIROBERT]. Factitious collection of light and bantering manuscripts, satires and songs. Fort in-4, contemporary speckled havana calf, 5-rib spine, garnet morocco title page, ornate caissons, gilt coat of arms at tail of spine, triple cold fillet on covers, double gilt fillet at edges, untrimmed (flaws including uncovered headpieces, dull corners). An exceptional collection, most probably composed by Mathieu-François Pidansat de Mairobert (1727-1779), secretary to the Duc de Chartres and Bachaumont, polygraphist, editor of Mémoires secrets, and friend of Rétif de La Bretonne. It comes from his library and is a precious testimony to the literary history of 18th-century France. It comprises 250 items, most of them single-sheet, but many of them multi-page, the earliest dated 1753; written by a variety of hands, some diligently, some in rapid handwriting, some bearing traces of circulation. There are a few "nouvelles à la main", but above all, all kinds of light, satirical, comic and entertaining texts, some with notated music; they are all of the kind that Pidansat de Mairobert liked to circulate in the salons he frequented. Here are a few examples: "Placet à Madame la Marquise de Pompadour"; "L'Hermine, fable", to the same lady; "Chansons sur les avocats"; "Lettre de S.A.R. Madame d'Orléans abbesse de Chelles à une de ses amies", followed by the royal decree printed in 1725 condemning this writing; "Madrigal galant et philosophique"; "La Bedaine, conte physique, moral et politique tiré du Conte du tonneau et mis en vers par la Musée éclopée"; "Brevet de la Calotte"; a very disrespectful "Ode sur la santé du Roi": "Viens me tenir lieu d'Apollon / Esculape dieu des clistères / Que ta canule et ton canon / Digne instrument de tes mystères / Me faire chier sans effort / Des vers et puants et sublimes / Tels que tout les jours il en sortie / Des culs huilés de nos minimes! "etc. The volume bears the arms of Pidansat de Mairobert on the spine - a rare mark unknown to Olivier Hermal and de Roton - and his name in gilded letters on the edge of the upper flyleaf. Following provenances: Alphonse Dubarle (ex-dono by M. Bezout in 1832, handwritten); Robert de Billy (1859-1963), ambassador, close friend of Marcel Proust (bookplate); Daniel Appia (bookplate).
