Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Rare early Paris edition of the scandalous epistolary novel Lettres de Mistriss Fanni Butlerd, presented as the private correspondence of a young Englishwoman, Fanny Butler, and her noble lover, Lord Charles Alfred of âCaitombridge.â First published in English in 1735 and quickly translated, the work belongs to the same sentimental-literary current that made Richardsonâs Pamela and Clarissa bestsellers, as well as the works of Marie Jeanne Riccoboni. This 1757 Socià tà des Libraires issue (the second French printing) retains the dramatic red-and-black title page, here with early ownership inscription. The translation is attributed to Adà laà de de Varansal, one of the few women translators active in mid-18th century Paris. The novelâs blend of illicit romance, moral anguish, and social satire typifies the pre-Revolutionary taste for passionate, confessional fiction. Surviving in its original paper wrappersâ"with manuscript spine title, a rare state for ephemeral Parisian fictionâ"this copy has remained remarkably untouched, the text block crisp, margins wide, and only minor foxing. A scarce and collectible example of 18th-century sentimental fiction, and a desirable companion to Riccoboni, Graffigny, and Rousseauâs epistolary tradition. A scarce 1757 Paris edition of Lettres de Mistriss Fanni Butlerd, in original wrappers, with red-and-black title. An important epistolary fiction bridging Richardsonâs English sentimentalism and the French pre-Revolutionary taste for clandestine, emotional novels. Good. Original wrappers worn at spine ends, some splitting, but text block solid, pages crisp, red-and-black title page bright. Ownership inscription on title. Untrimmed edges. Contemporary original paper wrappers, manuscript title to spine, edges untrimmed, fragile with wear at spine and corners; unrestored Early edition (second French edition, 1757).…

Descripción de la tienda

About Us El Sabio Books Inc. was founded in Calgary by David and Sean O’Neil, a partnership built on a shared fascination with history, philosophy, and the written word. Our journey began when a visit to a local antiquarian bookshop led to the discovery of a remarkable collection: a bulk lot of sixteenth to eighteenth century volumes found in a modest house in Humboldt, Minnesota, a quiet rural town far from any major center of the book trade. When offered the chance to see them, we found a beautiful compilation of survivors of centuries past. The idea that such a trove of knowledge and craftsmanship had resurfaced in a small Midwestern town was astonishing. When Aquila Books offered the collection for sale as a single lot, we recognized the opportunity and decided to purchase it together. If that chance had not been offered, El Sabio Books would never have begun. That decision marked the start of a family enterprise devoted to preserving and sharing the intellectual and artistic legacy contained in these works. With the generous guidance and early support of Aquila Books, one of Canada’s leading antiquarian booksellers, and the technical assistance of Bibliopolis, El Sabio Books took shape around a clear mission: to safeguard the words that have shaped civilization. We believe the words written in these books are history itself, fixed, enduring, and immune to revision. They stand as the unaltered record of human thought. Our purpose is to act as custodians of that word, protecting and presenting it with the respect it deserves, because within it lies the foundation of knowledge and truth that connects all generations. Today, El Sabio Books is a growing family business dedicated to careful research, accurate cataloguing, and respect for the craftsmanship of past centuries. Our goal is to connect modern readers and collectors with the enduring wisdom of the past, to keep alive the voices, ideas, and artistry that have guided human understanding for hundreds of years.…
