About This Item

London (i.e. Paris), n. pr., 1765. With engr. title and vignette, engr. frontispiece "Puits d'Amour", 3 engr. vignettes, 28 pages engr. music (numbered 97-124 and bound between pp. 120 and 139), woodcut ornaments and initials. 120 pp., pp. 139-142 (table of contents). 12mo. Full green morocco, spine richly gilt, tripple gilt fillets around sides, single gilt fillet on outer edges, inner pentelles, all edges gilt (Thierry-Simier). London (i.e. Paris), n. pr., 1765. First edition of this love story by Billardon de Sauvigny (1730-1809), later published as "L'Innocence du premier âge en France" ou "Les Amours de Pierre Le Long". The author's aim was to imitate a more ancient form of French, an idea which was very much appreciated by his readers. The songs inserted between pages 120 and 139 are by François-André Philidor (1726-1795), one of the most successful French opera composers in the 18th century and also known as top chess player. In the present copy, the songs of Philidor are continued by "airs", written by Antoine Albanèze, an Italian opera singer, successful in Paris between 1752 and 1762. - Fine copy in a luxurious binding. - Quérard, La France littéraire I, 334; Cohen/de Ricci 148; Gay II, 486; Barbier II, 639; cf. MGG X, 1194-1197 (Philidor); cf. Hoefer I, 525 (Albanèze). Not in Lewine. LITERATURE: FRENCH ; ILLUSTRATED BOOKS (BEFORE 1900) ; MUSIC ;
