AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The original and only edition of the first work on the observation and interpretation of dreams: the author's aim is to combat predictive interpretations, without denying his faith in exceptional divine dreams. It notably contains remarks of great interest on the association of ideas. In the 18th century, it is a book directly precursor to Freud's 'Science of Dreams' ('French Precursors of Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis', No. 5561); Caillet, 9401; Guaita, 2052, 'very rare'.
Vintage copy in period binding, havana calf with porphyry. Smooth spine, with a title piece and gold tooling. - Losses at the headbands, ends of the boards cracked, one corner pierced. Overall interior is fresh, with a burn mark on the leaf of pages 211-212 and slight loss of one or two words (see photos). Condition is fair.
Richard, Abbé Charles-Louis
