Antoine GACHET D'ARTIGNY

Relation de ce qui s'est passé dans une assemblée tenue au bas du Parnasse...

Chez Jean 't Lam, à Amsterdam 1739, in-12 (16x10cm), (24) 123pp., relié.


Account of what happened in a meeting held at the foot of Parnassus for the reform of belles lettres. Curious work and compound reported, according to the method of the wits of the time parts. Counterfeiting of the first edition published on the same date at Pierre Paupie in The Hague. Title page in red and black. Full speckled calf time. Back tooled raised. Part of title in red morocco. Lack of leather over 0,8 cm (irregular) at the joints along the back. Satire and denunciation of bad writers, and methods of plunder to form new books. 500 authors found in the index. This review exposes the false glories, the renowned authors in the form of a story featuring Apollo to Parnassus. The book was a resounding success. Barber IV, 206. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate. Contact us for any information!
