Description:
Paris: [Leblanc for] F.L. Regnault-Delalande, 1817. Contemporary red sheep-backed marbled boards (rubbed), flat spine and title gilt, uncut. Buying his first prints in 1762, the comte Rigal (b. 1747) formed an extraordinary collection, here "scientifically described" by the auctioneer Regnault-Delalande (Lugt, tr.). His exceedingly detailed notes record states unknown to previous scholars, including Bartsch. The prints account for some 1000 lots, then a few collecting guides and lastly twelve copperplates from the renowned French flower painter Pancrace Bessa's monumental Fleurs et fruits of 1808, along with 2999 proofs printed in color, colored by hand or pulled in black. The Bessa made 8405 francs - no other lot breached 800 fr. The final twenty pages list Regnault-Delalande's two hundred eighty-three art auction catalogs (1785-1817). In good condition, priced throughout in contemporary ms., indexed by artist, and with the 15-page printed price list bound in. ¶Blanc, Trésor de la curiosité II:… Read More

Description:
Rome: Paolo Manuzio, 1566. Contemporary vellum over flexible paper boards (soiled), manuscript spine title, evidence of four pigskin ties. First Edition of the Tridentine catechism, one of two issues (priority unresolved). this justly handsome book is the bedrock of roman catholic faith instruction. Five popes oversaw its extended and complex creation.      Paolo Manuzio's papal privilege expressly prohibiting domestic and international piracy is backed by the threat of excommunication for any infringement. However, by the end of 1568, it had been printed a dozen times in four countries. A few quires on poorer paper, pale stains in half the lower margins, a few outer margins uncut, a Macerata cleric's partly canceled ownership inscription dated 1626, stamps of the church of San Paolo (Macerata; deconsecrated). ¶Mortimer, Italian 16th-Century Books 504; Bellinger, Bibliographie des Catechismus Romanus 1 & Abb. 1; Renouard, Annales...des Alde 200,5; EDIT16 CNCE 12057 var.
