Item description from seller

An extraordinary, structurally superior exhibition copy showcasing High Enlightenment religious censorship. Printed by the elite Guérin/Delatour syndicate, this copy uniquely features the hand-suppressed, oxidized title-page imprint of Sworn University Printer Cornelius Mailertinus legibly revealed beneath 270-year-old iron-gall erasure. Contains the scandalous unedited text of the heretical thesis (Sectio Tertia) loopholed into the Sorbonne's official refutation layout. Uniquely bound with 22 blank scholarly flyleaves at the rear. A flawless text block housed in its highly preserved, highly decorative contemporary French marbled calfskin, rich gold-tooled spine, and brilliant red edges. 6pp blank, 1 small corner missing on blank, Title, preface ix, privilege & errata 2pp, main inc index etc 552pp, 22pp blank (Notebook). 419 grams, 16.5 x 9.6 x 3.5 cm's. Bump to page edges, accidental historical liquid stain to cover, close ups in the images. THE CENSORSHIP CONTEXT & PROVENANCE MARKINGSThis specific copy serves as a pristine, textbook artifact of 18th-century ideological censorship. The Imprint Cover-Up: The main title page features a contemporary, systematic suppression via hand-applied iron-gall ink strikes targeting the printed university endorsement formulas flanking the central vignette. Due to natural oxidation over 273 years, the acidic ink has faded to a translucent purplish-brown with a faint metallic sheen, revealing the legibly suppressed typography beneath: CORNELIUS MAILERTINUS (the Latinized imprint of Sworn University Printer Cornelis Maillart). This mark represents a forced administrative damnatio memoriae to sever the Sorbonne's press from the work after Abbé de Prades' Locke-inspired thesis was declared heretical. The Printing Loophole: The internal structure documents a clever legal bypass. The text layout features the repeated margin abbreviation "Thef." (Thesis) flanking compressed italic paragraphs. This visual isolation allowed the publishers to safely print De Prades' unedited forbidden text (including the radical Sectio Tertia comparative analysis of religion on pages 240–241) under the legal guise of an orthodox, line-by-line faculty refutation. Legal Architecture: Housed at the rear are the complete Approbatio (signed by censor Millet, Dec. 1752) and the Privilége du Roi (registered by Herissant), documenting the complex legal framework managed under the oversight of Malesherbes to navigate the publishing checkpoints of the French Counter-Enlightenment. Contemporary 18th-century French marbled calfskin (veau marbré), featuring standard acid-spattered boards. Spine Layout: Five prominent raised bands dividing the spine into six compartments. The compartments are heavily and elaborately gilt-tooled with late-Baroque floral and foliage motifs using bright, genuine gold leaf. Labels: Retains both original, vibrant morocco leather spine labels; the upper red label is crisply gilt-lettered "THESIS / J. M. DE / PRADES", and the lower label reads "DISCUSSA".

Description de la boutique

The Architecture of Memory: An Immersive Guide to the World of Rare, Antiquarian, and Fine Books. The joy of a rare book is a quiet thrill that connects you instantly to history. It begins the moment you spot a unique spine on a high shelf. Pulling it down brings a wave of wonder: the scent of old paper, the texture of handmade sheets, and the heavy weight of centuries in your palms. The true happiness is the discovery. Holding an antiquarian volume means holding a physical survivor. You trace the ink of a long-dead owner or find a pressed flower left by a reader from generations ago. It is a direct link to the human hands that shaped our world. A screen gives you words, but a rare book gives you presence and history. It reminds you that you are the temporary guardian of human thought.…
