[PLANCHER, Urbain (dom)]: Histoire générale et particulière de Bourgogne, avec des notes, des dissertations et les preuves justificatives. Composée sur les auteurs, les titres originaux, les registres publics, les cartulaires des églises cathédrales et collégiales, des abbayes, des monastères et autres monuments anciens. Dijon, Antoine de Fay, 1739-1741-1748. 3 volumes. 24.5 by 39 cm. (42)-532-CCXXIII pagesand 2 maps, 15 plates including one double, 11 engraved bands; (44)-524-CCCXXX pages, and 24 engraved plates and 7 engraved bands; (20-596-CCCLXXII pages, and 7 engraved plates and 6 engraved bands. Contemporary full calf, 6-rib spine, ornate caissons, lace on edges. The binding has been recently restored, and has a number of defects. Nevertheless, it remains solid and presentable. The first 3 or 4 leaves of each volume are damaged in the center, with occasional loss of text. This appears to be the result of an early and disastrous chemical attempt to erase handwritten ownership from the title pages. Otherwise suitable inside. Our copy features 2 maps, 46 plates (including three double plates) and 24 headbands. One double plate has a tear at the fold without missing. The book's iconography is particularly valuable, as it shows many monuments that have now disappeared. Seals, tombs and other architectural elements are also reproduced. Volume III contains two magnificent portraits of Philippe Le Hardy and his son Jean, Duke of Burgundy. First edition of the most monumental work on the history of Burgundy. Dom Plancher wrote the first two volumes alone, and the third with the help of Dom Salazar. The fourth volume, absent from our copy, is not by him but by Dom Villevieille; it was published by Dom Merle in 1781, 33 years after volume 3.

DOM CALMET (Augustin) - Histoire ecclésiastique et civile de Lorraine qui comprend ce qui s'est passé de plus mémorable dans l'Évêché de Trèves & dans les Évêchés de Metz, Toul & Verdun, depuis l'entrée de Jules César dans les Gaules, jusqu'à la mort de Charles V, duc de Lorraine et de Bar. Nancy, Jean-Baptiste Cusson, 1728 ; in-folio, Preface + CCXL columns + 11 plates + 1268 columns + 580 columns of proofs+ table and errata of the first volume + XV + 1466 columns + 21 plates (seals and coins) + DCLXXX columns of proofs + table + errata of the second volume + CCVII + 13 plates + 1340 columns + DCXCVI columns of proofs + table of contents, contemporary full vellum bindings, smooth spines, red morocco title-piece, spotted edges, jaws restored. All 3 volumes. Antoine Calmet, Dom Augustin in religion, was born on February 26, 1672 in Ménil-la-Horgne near Commercy, Lorraine, into a modest family (his father was a blacksmith). A keen student from an early age, he was an 18th-century exegete and scholar from Lorraine, known as Dom Calmet, a Benedictine from the Congregation of Saint-Vanne et Saint-Hydulphe. In 1728, Dom Calmet was appointed abbot of Senones, the capital of the principality of Salm. It was in the great Vosges abbey that he worked and lived the latter part of his life, maintaining a correspondence with numerous scholars. He died there on October 25, 1757. Dom Calmet left an immense body of work. His best-known work is his Histoire de Lorraine, the second edition of which was written in Senones. It was also in Senones that he wrote a now-forgotten work, a 17-volume Histoire universelle, on which Voltaire collaborated for a few days in 1753; a Bible in Latin and French, with a Commentaire littéral et critique sur tous les livres de l'Ancien & Nouveau Testament (Paris (1707-1716; 26 vol. in-4). The Commentaire, a major work by the Abbé de Senones, who constantly returned to make corrections or check translations, was reproduced separately under the title Trésor d'antiquités sacrées et profanes, from 1722, in 9 volumes. Complete with plates. Proofs at the end of each volume. Ex-libris Claude Hirtzmann.
