About This Item
Paris, Saillant & Nyon - Lambert, 1772-1773. 6 vols. 4to. Mottled calf. (bindings expertly restored).
The most complete bibliography on 16th-century French literary history, in a scholarly enlarged edition to which has been added a discourse on the progress of letters in France by the French savant Rigoley de Juvigny, d. 1788. Unsurpassed bio-bibliographical dictionary. The first French national bibliography was published in 1584 by François Grudé de la Croix du Maine and contained a.o. an auto-bibliography of several hundred works on French history of which none has survived, earning Grudé in some quarters the title of impostor; also, the plan for a French Royal Library - this was to be arranged in bookcases according to a classification by numbers. The second French bibliography was published by Antoine du Verdier in 1585 less than a year later. Both works were considered complimentary to such an extent that even after almost two hundred years they were combined in a single edition, much enlarged and corrected by Rigoley de Juvigny. (Cioranescu 53211; Breslauer & Folter 29 & 30).
