Six volumes, 8vo in fours, a complete set of 180 numbers, each of 8pp. but continuously paginated; pp. [viii], 240; [viii], 240; [viii], '260' (actually 240); xvi, 240; [xvi], 240, [xvi], 244; a very good set in contemporary calf, all with red and green morocco labels (a little faded and slightly rubbed; two headcaps a bit chipped); red edges, marbled endpapers. The very rare first edition of this series of letters supposedly by a Jewish traveller called Aaron Monceca, commenting on the culture and politics of contemporary France: the immediate inspiration was of course Montesquieu's Lettres Persanes (1721), which had used the same light disguise. D'Argens (1704-71) came from a prosperous and respectable provençal family, but rejected the family's strict adherence to the church, and also his training in the law. In the mid-1730s he moved to the low countries and began a career as a writer: this was his first important work. Subsequently he became friendly with Voltaire, and in the early 1740s moved to Berlin and the court of Frederick the Great. The Lettres Juives consist of 180 eight-page letters, issued in periodical numbers at a rate of two per week, on Monday and Thursday: each number has an imprint - the first seven are dated 1735, as publication actually began in December of that year. The title pages and prefaces were supplied free as each volume was completed. Although there were several later editions, and indeed an almost contemporaneous reprint in Amsterdam by Paul Gautier, complete sets must be regarded as very uncommon. Cioranescu 8303. The BnF's online catalogue claims that only the first six letters are dated 1735, but the seventh in this set also has 1735 in its colophon.

Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Later half calf and marbled boards. 16mo. Xii, 303, [45] pages. 17 cm. First English edition. Translated from the original into French, by the Marquis d'Argens; and now done into English. A translation of the first 40 letters only of Lettres juives. "The original â Lettres juives, ou correspondence philosophique, historique et critique.' began publication as a series of weekly pamphlets as early as March or April, 1736. By 1737, a year after they were printed at the Hague in book form, they were well known throughout France. . The first English edition, entitled The Jewish Spy, appeared in London in 1739 (first forty letters only) - followed by four more volumes in 1740. The second edition, in five volumes, appeared in 1744. . Matters relating to Jews and Judaism occupy only a small portion of The Jewish Spy, but they engaged some sixteen letters completely [letters 1, 23, 36, etc. ], and references are scattered through no less than seventy others. . D'Argens, though frequently salting his letters with earthy and ribald humor - often anti-clerical, rarely descends to jesting about Jews. . Transparently, the author is no Judaeophile. He offers many harsh chastisements of both Faith and People. Just as he uses Judaism as a constant foil against the weaknesses of Christianity, he exalts Karaism time and again to the detraction of Rabbinism or traditional Judaism. . undoubtedly he helped create the new atmosphere that made Emancipation possible by the end of the century. " (Stanley Brav, â Jews and Judaism in the Jewish Spy'; Studies in Bibliography and Booklore, volume 4, June 1960) . Later fine binding, half calf, raised bands outlined in gilt, title in gilt on spine, marbled boards. Subjects: Jews - Europe. Lettres juives. English. Selections. French Enlightenment. Books published before 1800. OCLC lists 29 copies. Light soiling to corner on title page, otherwise very clean and fresh. Great condition. (SPEC-36-54).

"A young diplomat and soldier from the Provence, the Marquis d'Argens (1703-1771) left his native country to live in Holland among her philosophes and littérateurs; there he wrote his first book -- the Lettres juives. Later in Berlin, as a member of the French entourage which Frederick the Great had assembled, he served as director of the philosophical section of the Prussian Academy. His Lettres juives, a fictitious correspondence between prominent Jews, show d'Argens' interest in Spinoza, evidenced also in many of his subsequent works [La philosophie du bons-sens, 1737; Mémoires secrets, 1744; Lettres chinoises, 1739-1740]" (Bamberger). An enlarged edition of the Lettres appeared in 1764; an English version appeared in 1739-1740 as The Jewish Spy. Jonathan Israel describes d'Argens as "[o]ne of the most widely read radical deist writers of Early Enlightenment Europe, an author steeped in Bayle and Spinoza, a born rebel, unrelentingly hostile to the European status quo, if not politically then certainly in everything concerning thought and belief." According to his own Memoires, d'Argens' philosophical odyssey "began in 1727 in Constantinople, where he lived for some time and was converted to a philosophical cast of mind by a sophisticated Sephardic Jew and a formidable Armenian who had lived in Amsterdam where he had become a 'grand Spinosiste.'" Throughout his life D'Argens "nurtured a strongly philo-Semitic attitude, at least regarding such emancipated and culturally sophisticated Sephardic Jews as he had met in Venice and Holland, and deliberately deploys the term 'Jew' polemically to designate individuals who have escaped the bondage of theological ways of thinking." In a remarkable passage within his Lettres Juives, d'Argens "has his Sephardic interlocutor comically report to his rabbinic correspondent in Constantinople that he has discovered in Paris 'un nombre infini de Juifs qui le sont, sans croire l'être, et sans en rien savoir' [an infinite number of Jews who are (philosophical deists), without believing they are, and without knowing anything about it" (Israel). Provenance: engraved bookplate of Marston House at the front paste-downs. References: Cf. Caillet 1606 (ed. 1754). Cf. Bamberger 340 (ed. Amsterdam: P. Gautier). For d'Argens, see J. Israel, Radical Enlightenment (O.U.P., 2001), esp. pp. 586-90.

Testatine, finalini ed iniziali ornati. Piccolo difetto della carta a pagina 245, pre stampa, che ha creato un piccolo strappetto senza perdita di carta abilmente e anticamente restaurato al margine esterno bianco. Alcune pagine leggermente ed uniformemente brunite come tipico della carta utilizzata a La Haye. Tagli marmorizzati. Frontespizio in rosso e nero. Fregio figurato in fine: due putti reggono un festone, al centro un cuore fiammeggiante. Esemplare nel complesso in ottime condizioni di conservazione. Antica firma di proprietà privata settecentesca alla prima carta bianca del celebre senatore e bibliofilo veneziano Giacomo Soranzo (1686-1761) che raccolse una delle più grandi collezioni settecentesche di volumi composta da quattromila manoscritti e ventimila opere a stampa poi venduta in un famoso catalogo stampato nel 1780. Prima assai rara edizione, due soli esemplari censiti in ICCU, di questo importante scritto galante, uscito tradotto in italiano nel 1764 con il titolo "Il filosofo innamorato ovvero le memorie del conte di Mommejan" opera del grande scrittore, filosofo ed avventuriero francese Jean-Baptiste de Boyer, marchese d Argens (Aix-en-Provence, 24 giugno 1704 Castello di La Garde, 11 gennaio 1771). "Figlio di un procuratore generale, seguì la carriera d armi (entrò nell esercito a 15 anni) e condusse una giovinezza molto avventurosa e licenziosa, per via della quale venne diseredato dal padre. Ferito davanti a Philipsburg nel 1734, lasciò il servizio militare e si ritirò ad Amsterdam nei Paesi Bassi, al fine di potervi scrivere liberamente i propri pamphlet. Qui scrisse alcune compilazioni storiche e cominciò le sue famose Lettres juives (The Hague, 6 volumi, 1738-1742), Lettres chinoises (The Hague, 6 volumi, 1739-1472), e le Lettres cabalistiques (2ª ed., 7 volumi, 1769); scrisse inoltre le Mémoires secrets de la république des lettres (7 volumi, 1743-1748), in seguito rivedute e accresciute come Histoire de l esprit humain (Berlino, 14 volumi, 1765-1768). Attirò l attenzione di Federico II, re di Prussia, con i suoi attacchi contro il Cristianesimo: il sovrano lo chiamò alla sua corte a Potsdam, lo rese suo ciambellano con 6.000 franchi di trattamento e lo nominò direttore generale dell Accademia. Fu nominato "Kammerherr" e Direttore dell Accademia. Tuttavia, Federico rimase amaramente offeso per via del suo matrimonio con l attrice berlinese Mlle Cochois. Dopo aver vissuto 25 anni in intimità con Federico II, il marchese d Argens tornò a Aix per trascorrere i suoi ultimi anni con la famiglia. Argens tornò infine in Francia nel 1769 e morì nei pressi di Tolone l 11 gennaio 1771. Era dotato di un erudizione vasta e varia, e i suoi scritti sono ispirati dalla filosofia scettica dell epoca. I suoi scritti erano indirizzati a un pubblico generico; in questo modo, egli favorì un ampia diffusione delle idee dell Illuminismo. Scrisse di filosofia, storia e religione, e semplificò le innovative discussioni empiriche di filosofi come Voltaire, Pierre Bayle e Bernard de Fontenelle.". Opera assai rara ed in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione e appartenuta ad un celebre collezionista. A good copy, original binding.

Deux ouvrages sur le travestissement et "l'identité de genre" reliés à l'époque. 1- Edition originale. "L'histoire est racontée par Mademoiselle de Mainville, une jeune femme qui se travestit en homme pour échapper à un mariage forcé. Sous son identité masculine, elle devient le 'feint chevalier' et se lance dans des duels et des intrigues amoureuses, tout en essayant de préserver son secret. Elle relate son histoire à un ami et dévoile les complexités de sa situation. Le roman aborde des thèmes tels que l'identité de genre, la liberté individuelle et les relations amoureuses. Il est considéré comme un modèle précoce de littérature féministe" (Kessinger Publishing, 2010). L'ouvrage a été censuré et interdit. (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 36:248. Gay, III, 138. Fr. Weil, 'L'interdiction du roman et la libraire', p. 625). 2- Seconde édition du récit, par l'abbé de Choisy lui-même, de ses aventures galantes travesti en femme sous le nom de "Comtesse des Barres". François-Timoléon de Choisy (1644-1724) avait été élevé comme une femme, en son éducation comme en son apparence et il vécut les dix-huit premières années sous des vêtements féminins. Il fut introduit auprès de Philippe d'Orléans "Monsieur" frère de Louis XIV, dont les "tendances efféminées", selon Choisy lui-même, auraient été renforcées par Mazarin depuis l'enfance afin d'éviter toute turbulence politique. Travesti, joueur, voyageur et diplomate, prêtre, missionnaire et académicien, paré de splendides robes, de diamants et de mouches à la Cour, cet ecclésiastique libertin traversa le Grand Siècle. Il accumula les conquêtes parmi les deux sexes sous plusieurs identités féminines dont "Mme de Sacy" à Paris et "comtesse des Barres" en province. Louvet de Couvray en tira le sujet de 'Faublas'. Laporte ('Bibliographie clérico-galante', p. 54) dit de ce livre: "Ce sont les aventures débauchées de l'abbé, racontées gaillardement et effrontément par lui". (Gay, II, 520). Provenances: Louis Robert Hippolyte de Bréhan, comte de Plélo (1699-1734) breton d'origine, officier supérieur et diplomate sous Louis XV, il mourut au combat à Dantzig. Bibliophile passionné, son importante bibliothèque passa à son gendre, le duc d'Aiguillon. (Olivier, Hermal, Roton, pl. n°1715). Ainsi que: Raphaël Esmérian, avec son ex-libris (Bibliothèque Raphaël Esmérian, II, 1972, n°103). Une petite trace de restauration à la reliure. Bel exemplaire, parfaitement conservé dans sa première et exceptionnelle reliure.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
4to. 3 pp. Doppelblatt. Mit Lacksiegel. Wichtiger Brief an den Mathematiker, Philosoph und Naturforscher Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis (1698-1759) in Berlin mit Erwähnung von Voltaire und Friedrich II. le roy". Jean-Baptiste de Boyer, Marquis d Argens war ein französischer Schriftsteller und Philosoph, dessen Werk im 18.Jahrhundert in zahlreichen europäischen Ländern große Beachtung fand. Siebenundzwanzig Jahre seines Lebens verbrachte er, von kurzen Unterbrechungen abgesehen, am Hofe Friedrichs des Großen, wo er als Kammerherr des Königs, Direktor der Historisch-philologischen Klasse der Berliner Akademie der Wissenschaften und weiterhin als Schriftsteller und Philosoph wirkte.Am 12.Mai 1746 wurde Maupertuis offiziell zum Präsidenten der Berliner Akademie ernannt. 1748 erwirkte er beim König Asyl für den in Frankreich und den Niederlanden verfolgten Arzt und Philosophen Julien Offray de La Mettrie, der radikal atheistische Schriften veröffentlicht hatte; Friedrich machte ihn zu seinem Vorleser in Sanssouci und zum Akademiemitglied.Maupertuis geriet aber bald in verschiedene Querelen, unter anderem weil er kaum Deutsch konnte. Eine der Querelen wurde ausgelöst von Johann Samuel König, der Maupertuis Werk über Lappland übersetzt hatte. Er warf Maupertuis vor, das von ihm in seinem Essai de cosmologie 1750 formulierte Prinzip der kleinsten Wirkung" stamme von Leibniz.[7] Als der Akademiepräsident dies ungeschickt bestritt, wurde er von Voltaire, der seit Juli 1750 in Berlin und Potsdam lebte und Mitglied der von Maupertuis geleiteten Akademie war, mit dem anonym veröffentlichten Pamphlet Diatribe du Docteur Akakia attackiert. Friedrich II. hielt zu Maupertuis und verlieh ihm 1750 den an sich nur für kriegerische Leistungen gestifteten preußischen Orden Pour le Mérite, der sehr selten an Zivilpersonen vergeben wurde.
