AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The rare treasury of which only a few intact copies remain, by the Mathematician: LAMY, De Tabernaculo Foederis... (Paris, 1720) (dimensions approximately H40 cm x 26 cm x 6.5 cm)
A rare opportunity for the discerning scholar: a volume that defies time, where ancient wisdom meets exceptional preservation.
For collectors who recognize value not only in bibliographic rarity but also in the purity of its pages, we present this monumental specimen.
LAMY, Bernardo. Of the Tabernacle of the Covenant, Of the Holy City of Jerusalem, and of Its Temple. Seven Books. Paris: Dionysium Mariette, 1720. (First Posthumous Edition)
The Essence of the Volume: Wisdom and Sacred Architecture
This is the solemn Latin treatise by the French mathematician and theologian Bernard Lamy, published posthumously thanks to Pierre Nicolas Desmolets. In a rare and impressive Folio Elephant format, Lamy unfolds his erudition on the architecture and vessels of the Ark of the Covenant, on the topography of the Holy City of Jerusalem, and on its most sacred structure, the Temple.
A fundamental work, recognized by OCLC (8396780) and Brunet (III, 803), that must be in the library of anyone investigating religious history and antiquarian studies.
The Engraved Boards: Perfect Visions
Here is where rarity turns into a miracle. The true gem of this volume lies in its illustrations, kept in a condition that can only be described as excellent: they are perfect.
20 Copper Plates of Unaltered Splendor: The 20 copper plates are sharp, clear, and bright, as if just taken from the press. Many are foldable, allowing a majestic view of the designs.
The View of Jerusalem: In particular, the fabulous double-page spread of Jerusalem offers breathtaking detail, showcasing the highest engraving art of the eighteenth century. Their integrity is a point of pride for this specimen.
Details Intatti: The title vignette engraved, the decorative headers, and the initials are preserved with absolute precision.
The Body of the Book: An Exceptional State
The Latin text, printed in two columns (columns 1361 / 340 pages), exhibits a condition of the pages that is simply excellent.
Pages in Excellent Condition: The interior is clean and solid. The only minor water stains found on some lower margins of the first pages are a sign of age that never interferes with the text or print clarity.
Historical Integrity: Only a small antique library stamp, almost a seal of provenance, is found at the corner of the title page.
The Keeper of Time: The Binding
The volume is enclosed in its original parchment (hardcover), with eight embossed bands along the spine.
Honorable Wear: The outer cover, although showing obvious signs of wear from its long journey through the centuries and slightly deformed, is in overall good condition. These marks are not defects but scars that confirm the authenticity and venerable age of the volume.
It is not just a simple purchase, but an investment in beauty and historical knowledge. Such exemplars, in such excellent condition, are destined to quickly disappear from the market.
