The Art of verifying dates, historical facts, charters, chronicles, and other ancient monumens, since the birth of our lord... Paris, Alexandre Jombert Jeune, 1783-1787. 3 volumes in-folio, marbled calf, triple fillet, spine with 6 ornamented ribs, inside roulette, gilt edges (contemporary binding).
Barber, I. 296 / Brunet, I. 513 / Saffroy, I. 10107 /// I. (4f.)-XXIV-XLI-88-849 / II. (2f.)-VIII-924 / III. (2f.)-IV-864-XC.
Third edition of this work first published by Desprez in 1750, enlarged by François Clément in 1770 and here published by the same.
Title vignette and heading, repeated, drawn and engraved by Prévost, a folding genealogical table and a leaflet of text unfolding into a table.
A work of incredible erudition that deals chronologically with all the dynasties of all countries from the birth of Christ to the present day. An indispensable in-fine table makes research easy. The reading is fascinating because it is accompanied by commentaries and anecdotes on the different characters of history.
A fine copy in spite of minor faults in the caps and stains on a few pages.
