[FRANÇOIS DE SALES]. - ARNAULD (Antoine). Le Magnifique triomphe de saint François de Sales, évesque et prince de Genève, fondateur de l'Ordre de la Visitation de sainte Marie. ÀParis, Gilles Tompère, 1680. Small in-8, 10pp. numbered 1-10, 16pp. unnumbered, 134pp. numbered 11-144, 147pp. numbered 73-219, 11pp. not numbered; signatures: A4-B1, ã4, 4, B2-3, C-I4, K-N8, O*4, K-Z4, Aa-Ee4, Ff1, 2; tobacco morocco, ribbed spine, double cold fillet dividing the spine and framing the boards, gilded fillet on the edges, gilded inner lace, gilded edges; head and first cover slightly sunned (19th-century binding). Apotheosis of Saint François de Sales, combining an anthology of his thoughts with texts by Antoine Arnauld himself - not the great Arnauld, as Sainte-Beuve had remarked. This Antoine Arnauld's interest in the saint may well stem from the fact that, as parish priest at the Hôpital général de Paris, known as the Salpêtrière, where beggars were confined, he would have been sensitive to the Introduction à la vie dévote, in which Saint François de Sales says he considers confinement sites - hospitals or prisons - as places of salvation where an appropriate pastoral care should be exercised. Fine copper-engraved portrait-frontispiece of Saint François de Sales by Herman Weyen after Jean Boulanger. A bibliographical case. This is probably the original edition, or at any rate the first to be published, if we take into account the absence in the CcFr of a single copy of an earlier edition, and take into account the following elements: here we find the mention of "second edition" in the title, and that of "second printing" in the preface. The volume forms a composite whole: on the one hand, it includes a first set of 113ff. in regular signatures (i.e. 219pp. paginated, followed by 7 unpaginated pages for the table of contents), bearing several texts, some of which clearly appear to be occasional pieces written on the occasion of the canonization ("triumph") of Saint François de Sales (1665) - the table of contents mentions only the texts in this first set. The volume also includes a second set of 46ff. with signatures in uppercase with a star or in lowercase with a tilde, bearing additional texts: treatises on piety, prayers, a text on Saint François de Sales and his brothers, and a preface mentioning the fact that the canonization has long since passed. The two sets of printed leaves, however, bear dates from the same year: the first set includes a title dated 1680, the approvals of two Sorbonne theologians dated June and August 1680, and a permission from the Lieutenant General of Police in Paris, Gabriel Nicolas de LaReynie, dated June 1680; similarly, the second set of printed leaves bears an approval from the Bishop of Geneva dated August 1680. However, the dates of the first set appear on its title leaf and last leaf, both apparently on different paper, which would logically suggest that they were renewed for the "second edition" and therefore belong to the second set. In any case, it is highly probable that the work in its form before the additions was never distributed. Provenance: Pingon (double signature on title, scratched). Possibly from the Savoyard family of this name, the barons of Cusy, one of whose wives married the brother of Saint François de Sales.

Paris, Aubert et Cie, 1839-1840 2 Volumes in 4to. 266x210 mm. Coeval binding in the arms of the Duchess of Berry, red morocco, plates framed by gilt and cold-stamped roulettes, gilt coat of arms of the Duchess in the center of the plates, 5-nerved spine with gilt title, fillets and fleurons, gilt fillet on the lips and gilt Greek-style decoration inside the plates, guard sheets in polychrome marbled paper, gilt trimmings. Each volume contains 6 unnumbered pages, with Frontispiece and two Eyelets, 50 notebooks of 4 pages each, with three pages of text and one page with lithographic illustration and legend; at the end 4 pages with the 'Table des matieres' and the 'fin' of the first and second volumes. A portrait of Daumier drawn and engraved in copper by August Boulard is added to the first volume. At the end of the second volume 8 pages with the Catalogue of Aubert Publications. In total, one copper-engraved plate out of text with Portrait and 101 full-page Lithograph Impressed Tables. Slight sporadic foxing and some paper browning, nice copy. First edition, rare first run of Daumier's 101 lithographs. Specimen belonged to the Duchess of Berry, in magnificent red morocco binding at Arms. Maria Carolina Ferdinanda Luisa di Borbone, Caserta 1798 - Mureck 1870, Princess of the Two Sicilies by birth and Duchess of Berry by marriage, is a fantastic historical icon of the 19th century. Her epic destiny embodied the spirit of Romanticism: daughter of the King of the Two Sicilies Francis I Xavier and Maria-Clementine of Austria, she married in 1816 the Duke of Berry Charles-Ferdinand (1778-1820), son of Charles X, by whom she had a son, the Duke of Bordeaux. Widowed at the age of twenty-two by the murder of her husband, she began an adventurous political existence. Exiled during the July Revolution of 1830, she returned to France in April 1832 and tried unsuccessfully to stir up the people of the Vendée and Brittany with the goal of a legitimist restoration: arrested at Nantes in November 1832, she was imprisoned at Blaye. She gave great scandal by giving birth in captivity to a son of Hector Luccesi-Palli (1808-1864), son of the Grand Chancellor of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Prince of Campo-Franco, whom she had secretly married in 1831. She was freed in 1833. Daumier's work is a scathing satire of Louis-Philippe's bourgeois France, pillorying the business world and liberal professions through the character of Robert Macaire, an unscrupulous businessman. The famous caricatures of 'Robert Macaire' made Honoré Daumier the giant of costume painting and social criticism. Carteret emphasizes the rarity of this work in good condition.
