87 - [TOULOUSE]. DUROSOI [FARMIAN de ROSOI (Barnabé), known as]. ANNALS OF THE CITY OF TOULOUSE, dedicated to His Highness the Dauphin. Paris, Veuve Duchesne, 1771–1780. Five parts bound in four sturdy in-4 volumes in porphyry calfskin, with triple gilt fillet framing on the covers, a five-ribbed gilt spine, a garnet morocco title label, and marbled edges (contemporary binding). A small loss on the upper cap of volume 1, a tear on the upper cap of volume 2, 5 rounded corners, scuff marks, and small losses of leather on several covers. FIRST EDITION, illustrated with 5 engraved PLATES. This historical compilation, commissioned by the capitouls of Toulouse, is intended as a supplement to the works of CATEL and LAFAILLE, drawing primarily on the Annals of City Hall. Its author, the Parisian Barnabé FARMIAN de ROSOI, known as DUROSOI (1745–1792), was honored with the title of citizen of Toulouse and generously compensated for his work. He made extensive use of the notes of Charles-Geraud de BOUSQUET, a councilor in the Parliament, and especially those of BENECH, who wrote the supplement published in 1780, which constitutes the fifth part of this work. From the LIBRARY of the Marquis DADVISARD, with a heraldic ex-libris pasted to the inside front cover of each volume. A PLEASANT COPY in uniform period binding, complete with the SUPPLEMENT, which is often missing. ¶ Barbier, I, 195 - Hermet, 11600 - Limouzin-Lamothe, 142.
