Description

Middle East - MARCEL (Jean-Joseph). Leçons de langue syriaque, données au Collège Royal de France. Paris, Eberhart, 1819. Thirteen issues in a small in-8 volume, purple half-sheepskin, smooth spine decorated throughout (Romantic binding). Very rare private printing of the contents of the short Syriac language lessons given at the Collège de France by the printer Jean-Joseph Marcel (1776-1854), who from 1817 to 1820 acted as substitute teacher for Prosper-Gabriel Audran (1744-1819). Each issue corresponds to a special course, which, as was still common practice in the early 19th century for oriental languages, consisted of an explanation of a text from the Bible or the liturgy. Bound with two Hebrew-language titles: I. MARCEL: Leçons de langue hébraïque, données au Collège Royal de France. Paris, Eberhart, 1819. II. A collection of prayers entirely in Hebrew ([100] ff.). Remarkable typographical composition, a specialty of Marcel publishers, particularly during the Egyptian expedition. Ex-libris of Abbé Schermesser and curious cut-outs pasted on the endpapers. A fine copy.
