OFFICE OF THE CHAMBER (Marin). The Characters of the Passions. Amsterdam, Antoine Michel, 1658 (1662)–1663. 5 tomes in 4 volumes, 12mo, red morocco, triple gilt fillet, decorated spine, interior lace, gilt edges (Capé). A delightful Elzevirian edition, adorned with a beautiful etched frontispiece title page dated 1658. (Willems, no. 1233.) The work, a masterpiece by the philosopher Cureau de La Chambre (1594–1669), physician to Chancellor Séguier and Louis XIII, deals with simple and mixed passions: love, joy, laughter, desire, hope, anger, animal instinct, hatred, tears, fear, and despair. The first two volumes are presented here in the second edition of 1662. An 18th-century handwritten bookplate, now almost faded, appears on the title pages. A very fine copy from the Robert Hoe Library (1912, III, no. 1810), with bookplate. Minimal scuffing on the caps and corners. The endpapers are slightly yellowed.
