About This Item

Paris: : Chez Nyon, Fils, Quay del Augustins, 1725. First Edition. Contemporary full leather binding, with six raised bands to the spine. Five panels decorated with gilt devices, and the 6th with a burgundy and gilt label. Marbled end papers. Complete with 34 folding plates. There is a curious vandalism to the title page and dedication page. An early owner has crossed out the name of Le Duc du Maine, who the book was dedicated to, and has coloured in portions of the Duc's crest. In the same ink is written "La livre ma coute 15 denier" (my book which cost 15 denier). To the following page (the dedication) again the Duc's crest has been defaced, along with his name, and several of the titles which pertained to him. The Duc was the legitimised son of Louis XIV, but despite this, was disliked by many who still considered him a bastard. The boards and spine are clean, A little bumping to the head and tail of the spine, with a touch of the cover rubbed. Inside, the book and plates are clean and tidy other than the sabotage to the Duc! Belidor (1698 - 1761) was a Frenchman born in Catalonia, an artillery professor at La Fère, whose work on artillery, engineering and hydraulics was widely disseminated in the 18th century. (24),560,(32) pp. 250 x 200 mm (9¾ x 7¾ inches). Reliure plein cuir de l'époque, avec six nerfs au dos. Cinq panneaux décorés d'appareils dorés, et le 6ème d'une étiquette bordeaux et dorée. Feuilles de garde marbrées. Complet avec 34 assiettes pliantes. Il y a un curieux vandalisme sur la page de titre et la page de dédicace. Un ancien propriétaire a barré le nom du Duc du Maine, auquel le livre était dédié, et a colorié certaines parties de l'écusson du Duc. Dans la même encre est écrit « La livre ma coute 15 deniers » (mon livre qui coûtait 15 deniers). À la page suivante (la dédicace), l'écusson du duc a encore été effacé, ainsi que son nom et plusieurs des titres qui le concernaient. Le duc était le fils légitimé de Louis XIV, mais malgré cela, il était détesté par beaucoup qui le considéraient encore comme un bâtard. Les plats et le dos sont propres, Un petit choc en tête et en queue du dos, avec une touche de la couverture frottée. A l'intérieur, le livre et les planches sont propres et bien rangés à part le sabotage du Duc ! Belidor (1698 - 1761) était un Français né en Catalogne, professeur d'artillerie à La Fère, dont les travaux sur l'artillerie, l'ingénierie et l'hydraulique ont été largement diffusés au XVIIIe siècle. (24) 560, (32) pages. 250 x 200 mm (9¾ x 7¾ inches).
