AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Jean-Marie-Bernard Clément (Clément de Dijon), Satires (1786), 175 pages with ancient handwritten inscription

Amsterdam, and is available in Paris at the Booksellers of Nouveautés.

Collection of satires by Jean-Marie-Bernard Clément, famous French literary critic of the eighteenth century, known for the vigor of his polemics and his opposition to several Enlightenment philosophers.

In this work, Clément wields his sharp pen against the literary world and the society of his time. He particularly criticizes mediocre writers, literary cabals, favoritism, luxury, and corruption.

Interesting feature: the copy bears an old handwritten inscription, dated 1837 and mentioning Montpellier, which adds provenance value.

An old copy in its period binding, showing the usual signs of its age. The interior is well preserved.

An interesting eighteenth-century literary work, made even more special by its ancient handwritten provenance.
