HERISSANT & MONS

Relation du voyage mysterieux de l'isle de la Vertu

Chez J. Tomas Herissant, à Paris 1760, In-12 (10x16,8cm), (16) 99pp. (3), relié.

New edition, partly original because it contains the Notice to Reader and the epistle in verse Herissant, but the work is not him, he has been assigned (by Barbier particular) because of this Epistle. The first editions of this novel are actually Mons and were published at the end of the seventeenth century. Full sheepskin marbled time. Back tooled raised florets 4. Part of title in brown morocco. Head cap threadbare. A tag library on the first box. A hole on the last box. Corners bumped. Missing two cover pages before the title page and in-fine. This new strange is an allegory of virtue. A traveler from the Orient and discovers a group of islands, the central island is that of virtue, and other smaller pleasures being rejected by virtue. A guide leads travelers to explore our islands where everything works by symbol, there is a town called Complacency, a castle of the delicacy, etc.. Whenever there is a denunciation of the false virtue behind a magnificent appearance, but only by the pictures and symbols and no speech. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
