LAMENNAIS (Félicité de): Le Livre du Peuple. Paris, Delloye et Lecou, 1838. One volume. 13.5 by 22 cm. (4)-194 pages. Vintage half carmine morocco with corners, bradel, untrimmed copy. Binding signed PAGNANT. Perfect condition, except for a small rub on the 1st cover (not serious). First edition of this great text by LAMENNAIS, a powerful manifesto in favor of a social Catholicism based on a humanistic reading of the Gospels. The work predicts the assumption of a generous, fraternal people, in contrast to a narrow, mediocre bourgeoisie. Le Livre du peuple continued the scandal provoked by Paroles d'un croyant (1834), condemned by the Vatican as soon as it appeared.

[HANCARVILLE (Pierre-François Hugues d'). Monumens de la vie privée des douze Césars, d'après une suite de pierres gravées sous leur règne. Rome, de l'imprimerie du Vatican, 1786. In-8 XII-236 pp. Brown basane, ornate smooth spine, p. de titre et de tomaison (contemporary binding). Rubbed and worn, corners dulled. Angular brown staining to last leaves and back cover. Some foxing. Marginal tear with lack not reaching the engraving on plate I. The illustration consists of a frontispiece and 50 free copper-engraved figures, each accompanied by an explanatory text. The edition is often accompanied by its sequel, "Monumens du culte secret des dames romaines" (which explains the presence of a title page on the spine). After an adventurous life, the antiquarian Pierre-François Hughes, known as d'Hancarville (1719-1805), collaborated with William Hamilton in his archaeological research in Naples; "The engravings are almost all of Hancarville's invention, and not taken from ancient stones or cameos as the preface implies. The text offers an explanation full of passages borrowed from Suetonius and Martial. Work condemned to destruction in 1815 and 1826" (Apollinaire, Fleuret et Perceau, L'Enfer de la Bibliothèque Nationale, n° 343 and 911).
