CALMET (Augustin) & LENGLET-DUFRESNOY (Nicolas). Traité historique et dogmatique sur les Apparitions, les Visions & les Révélations particulières, avec des observations sur les Dissertations du R.P. Dom Calmet, Abbé de Sénones, sur les Apparitions et les Revenans. Avignon and Paris, Jean-Noël Leloup, 1751. 2 volumes in-12 marbled calf, ornate ribbed spine, red marbled title and green tom. pages, red tr. (period binding). Good restorations to bindings. False-title, title, xliii [1 bl.] 408 pp (vol. 1); false-title, title, vii [1 bl.] 448 pp (vol. 2). Without the plate. First edition of this curious treatise. "The 1st vol. contains chaps. I to X with proofs; X is devoted to several books of revelations; then comes a Discours hist. sur la conversion de Constantin, by Abbé Lestorcq. In the 2nd vol. chap. XI is devoted to the Revelations of Marie d'Agréda, and XII to the work of Dom Calmet: then come: Remarques sur la prétendue délivrance de l'âme de Trajan par les prières de St Grégoire le gr. Dissertation on the apparition of Samuel to Saul; Pièces (dix) concernant la vie de la Ste Vierge, par Marie d'Agreda (dont la première, la lettre publiée anonyme en 1696): Dissertation hist. sur la vision de Constantin, par le P. Du Moulinet; Retour des morts ou Traité pieux...; enfin Lettre de Mollinger à M. Schoepfflin. This work by Lenglet-Dufresnoy had been in preparation for fifty-five years (around 1696), when he decided to publish it on the occasion of Dom Calmet's work. This is the first edition of Caillet's "Recueil de Dissertations anciennes...". Abbé Augustin Calmet (1672-1757), a Benedictine monk from Lorraine, had published his Dissertations sur les Apparitions des Anges, des Démons & des Esprits, et sur les Revenans et les Vampires (Paris: De Bure, 1746) five years earlier. Lenglet-Dufresnoy's work deals with apparitions and demons, and includes reprints of curious pieces: Le Retour des Morts, ou Traité pieux, Qui prouve par plusieurs Histoires authentiques, que les Ames des Trépassés reviennent quelquefois par la permission de Dieu, published in Toulouse in 1694, Le Palais du prince du sommeil où est enseigné l'Oniromancie, published in Bourges in 1667, and others. A very fine copy of a rare and sought-after book. (Caillet II,6500; Dorbon 2632.)

LORRIS (Guillaume de) and MEUN (Jean de). Le Roman de la Rose. Revu sur plusieurs éditions & sur quelques anciens manuscrits. Accompanied by several other works, a historical preface, notes & a glossary. [Edition given by LENGLET-DUFRESNOY]. Amsterdam, Jean-Frédéric Bernard, 1735. 3 vol. in-12 of [2] ff, lxviii-362 pp., [1]-424 pp., [1]-384 pp. Basane fave jaspée, ornate spine, dark blue calf title and greevel, gilt fillets around covers (period binding). Minor worm damage to spine. Rare edition by Lenglet-Dufresnoy, the first since 1538. The text given by Lenglet du Fresnoy is based on that given in 1499 by Vérard. Without the rare Supplément au glossaire du Roman de la Rose (by J.-B. Lantin de Damerey), 1737, J. Sirot, Dijon. The first volume contains a life of Jean de Meung by André Thevet. The third volume includes : Le Codicille de Maistre Jean de Meung, Le Testament de Maistre Jean de Meung, Les Remontrances de Nature à l'alchimistre errant par l'Autheur Jean de Meung, La Response de l'Alchimiste à Nature, Testament attributed to Arnauld de Villeneufve, Petit Traicté d'Alchimie intitulé Le Sommaire philosophique de Nicolas Flamel, La Fontaine des amoureux de science composée par Jean de La Fontaine de Valenciennes, Balade du Secret des Philosophes, and Glossaire ou explication des anciens mots du Roman de la Rose. This edition, given by Lenglet-Dufresnoy, is unusual in that it has two prefaces, one by the publisher, the other by Clément Marot, which accompanied the 1527, 1529 and 1537 editions. "It must be confessed that the author appears strongly inclined towards the chemistry of the Great Work or transmutation... natural and moral philosophers can learn from it. Les théologiens, les astrologues, les géométriciens, les alchimistes... et autres gens nés sous la constellation et influence des bons astres qui désirent savoir une manière d'ars et science..." preface by Lenglet Dufresnoy. (Caillet 6802.) "In the same year (1265) that Dante was born, Jean Clopinel dit Jean de Meung continued the Roman de la Rose that Guillaume de Loris had begun forty years earlier. Under his pen, the beautiful and delicate "Art d'aimer" imitated from Ovid and sung by his predecessor became an encyclopedia of considerations on all kinds of subjects, from the origins of the world, love, fortune, nature, art, astronomy, alchemy, to religion and morality. (...) The Roman de la Rose is as learned a revelation of the occult as Apuleius'; Jehan de Meung has hidden in this work the key to the mysteries of Hermetic Philosophy." Sédir, Histoire des Rose-Croix. A fine copy.
