Impression sur grand papier de Hollande. Cohen signale l'existence de sept planches spintriennes, publiées après l édition de l'ouvrage et il ajoute : « il est à observer que fort peu des exemplaires en reliure ancienne contenaient à l'origine les planches spintriennes ». [COHEN, 542]. Il est possible que ces planches aient été refusées en raison de leur érotisme (spintriae d'un mot latin désignant une débauche, cf. le T.2 du présent ouvrage à la page 62, note 1). Description de la collection de pierres gravées réunie par Louis, duc d'Orléans (1703-1752) et en grande partie constituée par la collection Crozat, achetée en bloc à la vente de 1741 pour la somme de 67 000 livres. La collection comprenait près de 1400 pierres gravées, datant de la période sumérienne jusqu'à la fin de l'Empire Romain, mais également des pierres gravées de la Renaissance française. La collection sera vendue par Louis-Philippe-Joseph d'Orléans à Catherine de Russie, en 1787. L'un des plus beaux ouvrages de glyptique.

Réunir des pierres gravées exigeait de longues et patientes recherches et beaucoup d'argent, et il n'y a guère que les souverains qui pouvaient rassembler une telle collection. Celle du Duc d'Orléans fut à cet égard remarquable. En fin d'ouvrage, une lettre de Daubenton sur l'exactitude de la représentation des hippopotames. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition, magnificently illustrated with a frontispiece by Cochin, engraved by Saint-Aubin, a title vignette by the same, 59 large tailpieces and headpieces (designed and engraved by Saint-Aubin) explained and deciphered at the beginning of the work, and 179 figures hors-texte each presenting an engraved stone (engraved by Saint-Aubin). Fine printing on deluxe Holland paper. Full black morocco-grained shagreen binding ca 1850. Smooth spine with flat raised bands decorated with fillets and roulettes on the bands. Triple-ruled frames on boards with corner fleurons. Marbled edges. Light rubbing to headcaps, corners. Paper lacking to margin of one leaf in volume I. Some leaves browned. Pale angular dampstain on 3 leaves of volume I. Handsome copy, with wide margins. * The Duke of Orléans, Louis-Philippe D'Orléans, was a great collector, both of books, antiquities and engraved stones; the latter provide useful information to archaeology and are even decisive for studies on Antiquity. Gathering engraved stones required long and patient research and much money, and there were scarcely any but sovereigns who could assemble such a collection. That of the Duke of Orléans was in this respect remarkable. At the end of the work, a letter from Daubenton on the accuracy of the representation of hippopotamuses. (32) 303pp. et (4) v (3) 215pp. (5).

Volume 1 (off 2). 33,5 : 21,5 cm. Frontispiece, Title with engraved vignette, 15 leaves, 303 pages, 88 engraved plates and 47 engraved vignettes. Contemporary calf. The members of the House of Orleans, have been, for the most part, important collectors. Gaston d'Orleans (1608 - 1660), the brother of Louis XIII, has collected a great number of cameos by the painter Pierre Paul Rubens. The collection is nowadays in the National Library of France. - A second volume was published in 1784. - Book Block lossened, spine damaged, binding rubbed, inside mostly fine.

First edition and deluxe copy from the first issue, one of very few printed on large Holland paper, as noted by Brunet. Cohen 543, Brunet, III, 727. "Lachau (Abbé Géraud de), librarian, interpreter-secretary, and keeper of the Duke of Orléans' cabinet of engraved stones, published with his friend Abbé Le Blond the second volume of the Description des principales pierres gravées du cabinet du duc d'Orléans, Paris, 1784, small folio; Abbé Arnaud is the author of the first volume of this work, the finest of its kind published to date. There are copies on large Holland paper." (Michaud) All stones described in this work, acquired in 1741 and later sold to Catherine II, are illustrated with a plate and accompanied by scholarly explanations with numerous references to ancient texts. "In any case, a superb frontispiece by Cochin, engraved by Saint-Aubin, featuring a portrait of the Duke of Orléans; 1 fleuron, the same on both title pages, by Saint-Aubin; 2 very lovely vignettes at the beginning of volumes I and II, drawn by Cochin and A. de Saint-Aubin, engraved by Saint-Aubin; 179 engraved stones by Saint-Aubin, although unsigned, and 55 tailpieces, most of great beauty (46 in vol. I and 9 in vol. II), all drawn and engraved by Saint-Aubin, except the last in vol. I, engraved by Mme E. de Sabran. The engraved stones are numbered 1 to 97 in the first volume; nos. 35 and 39 have three plates and no. 78 has two, and from 1 to 76 in the second, with no. 2 having two plates." (Cohen) Seven plates of spintrian medals containing 37 subjects, drawn and engraved by Saint-Aubin, were later pulled and added to some copies. Consequently, Cohen notes: "it should be observed that very few copies in old bindings originally included the spintrian plates." "A superb copy bound in red morocco by Derome, assembled by Le Blond, one of the authors, printed on choice paper, made up of earliest state proofs and containing 3 uncovered plates and several spintrian tailpieces, sold for 3,100 gold francs (a bibliophilic book then traded for around 5 gold francs), Beckford sale (I, no. 2464), is today in the collection of M. Henri Béraldi." (Cohen) A precious copy from the deluxe issue on large Holland paper, preserved in its beautiful contemporary red half-morocco binding.
