Paul LACROIX

Sciences et lettres au Moyen-âge et à l'époque de la Renaissance

Librairie de Firmin Didot, Paris 1877, In 4 (20x29,7cm), relié.

First edition, beautifully illustrated with 13 color lithographs and 400 woodcuts in-text. Publisher's binding in its most luxurious version by Lenègre half red shagreen ornate Souze a plate, plate found on boards percaline red aggrieved; Binding evoking the rich bindings of Renaissance type Grolier. gilt edges. Small friction tail. very fine copy, with a few scattered spots in margins. The interest of the work is reflected both by his erudition and his approachability and reading (historical anecdotes ...). This is due to Paul Jacob, who was a great bibliophile, writer and scholar, and curator of the library of the Arsenal. If the entire series has become a classic in the field is that it happily combines work of publisher, printer, bookbinder, history, illustrators, documentation, and few books have finally succeeded this confusion we must Firmin-Didot, at a time when the book became mediocre. Note the presence in the science of the study of alchemy and the occult, and a chapter on heraldry. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
