AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
New edition of this standard work, better known as the 'Dictionnaire de Poitiers,' first published in 1739, authored by Charles Leroy. It was later taken up by the grammarian Restaut. Edition of Poitiers published in 1775, revised, corrected, and expanded by him.
Full marbled veal of the period, with a nerve-backed back decorated with gilded irons of floral boxes. Filet cuts. Red slices.
Binding with some defects: rubbing, perforated corners, faded gilding on the back, missing title piece. Ink stain on the edge. Loose binding and slight play in the hinge. Interior generally fresh and clean, with rare foxing.
Title page in red and black, pretty borders and engraved lamp bases. Good copy.
The Treatise on French orthography was published in 1739 under the prestigious patronage of Le Nain, steward of Poitou, to whom this work is dedicated. Unfortunately, Leroy died shortly before the release of his book, at a time when he was beginning to write a new work, of which only the preparatory notes have been found, and he was unable to witness the public success of his treatise. The Journal of Verdun speaks of it as a 'very good abridgment of the Dictionary of the Academy and those of Furetière and Richelet,' while Abbé Goujet praises the order, clarity, accuracy, and usefulness of this book.
Reprinted for the first time in 1742 in an expanded new edition, especially concerning vocabulary related to art, geography, and sciences, a new edition was published in 1747, supported by Cardinal de Rohan, who, according to the publisher, was eager to support and improve 'one of the most generous presents that could have been given to France for the progress and perfection of our language, which can justly be called the language of all Europe.'
