ndication par ordre de dates, de plusieurs actes de l�gislation, de jurisprudence et d'administration, relatifs aux privil�ges de librairie. 12 mo. [S.l., s.d., likely Paris, c. 1750]. Signatures A-B. Original blank wraps with string ties. Internally remarkably preserved with deckled edges. very rare tract detailing legislation and ordinances pertaining to French booksellers, covering the period from 1323, before the invention of printing, through 1725. RARE. OCLC cites only copy in BnF. This rare tract is a signi/0cant primary source for the study of the regulation and evolution of the French book trade from the medieval period through the early 18th century. By documenting legislative acts and administrative ordinances a2fecting booksellers from 1323 to 1725, it provides invaluable insights into the legal framework that shaped the development of the publishing industry in France. The tract illustrates the evolving relationship between the state and the book trade, highlighting the privileges and restrictions imposed on booksellers, which were crucial in controlling the dissemination of ideas in a pre-revolutionary context. The inclusion of laws predating the invention of printing underscores the long- standing state interest in regulating intellectual property and content distribution, re56ecting broader concerns about information control and censorship. This document serves as a critical reference for scholars exploring the history of censorship, the economic and legal aspects of the book trade, and the role of booksellers in the cultural landscape of early modern France.

Description de la librairie

Making the impossible possible. That is what I love about the antiquarian book trade. Books have had to endure the ravages of time, from mere careless handling to the burning pyres of Savonarola and modern war. Someone may ask me for a 15th century book on witchcraft or express interest in a biblical manuscript, and I have to seek out these treasures from the flea markets of Paris and alleys of Istanbul to New York Fifth Avenue apartments and the ritzy auction rooms of London.
