Item description from seller

A complete 11-volume set of Rousseauâs collected works, printed in Neuchâtel by Samuel Fauche in 1775 â" a landmark Enlightenment edition issued during Rousseauâs lifetime and widely circulated in the turbulent years leading up to the French Revolution. Includes Rousseauâs most influential writings: Du Contrat Social, Ãmile, Julie, ou la Nouvelle Hà loà se, La Nouvelle Hà loà se, Confessions, his political essays, and his works on botany and music. Lavishly illustrated, this set features a fine engraved portrait of Rousseau, numerous full-page plates, and c.14 fold-out engraved musical examples from Rousseauâs pioneering musicological writings â" all present and intact. The Fauche Neuchâtel edition is celebrated for its completeness and accuracy, âsoigneusement revue et corrigà e,â and for the quality of its illustrations. It embodies the dissemination of Rousseauâs radical political and social philosophy on the eve of the Revolution. His critiques of inequality, theories of natural freedom, and treatises on education and civil society profoundly influenced both 1789 and the trajectory of modern thought. Condition: Bindings rubbed, spines with some wear and chipping, but internally clean and crisp; plates strong impressions; fold-outs fresh, complete, and rarely surviving in such good state. A highly desirable set, both bibliographically and historically. Complete 11-volume Neuchâtel edition (1775) of Rousseauâs works, with engraved portrait, plates, and fold-out music examples â" a cornerstone Enlightenment set in contemporary calf. Good overall; bindings worn but attractive; interiors clean; engravings and fold-outs all complete and in strong impressions. Complete set in 11 volumes. Contemporary mottled calf, spines gilt in compartments with floral tooling and morocco title labels, marbled endpapers. Bindings rubbed with some chipping at spine ends and joints, but attractive, uniform, and sound Nouvelle à dition, soigneusement revue & corrigà e.

Description de la boutique

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.
