Bernard Le Bouvier de Fontenelle (11 February 1657 - 9 January 1757), also called Bernard Le Bouyer de Fontenelle, was a French author born in Rouen, France and died in Paris just one month before his 100th birthday. His mother was the sister of great French dramatists Pierre and Thomas Corneille. He trained in the law but gave up after one case, devoting his life to writing about philosophers and scientists, especially defending the Cartesian tradition.A noted gourmand, he attributed his longevity to eating strawberries. At ninety-two one woman wrote that he was as lively as a man of 22. When, in his late nineties he met the beautiful Mme Helvétius, he reportedly told her,"Ah Madame, if only I were eighty again!" It was by his Nouveaux Dialogues des morts (1683) that Fontenelle established a genuine claim to high literary rank. (above biographical information from the Britannica 1911 edition). This particular copy has the following issues: Both front and rear boards have become detached, both boards and backstrip show considerable wear but nothing beyond what would be expected given the book's age. Title page has a signature of the previous owner, date of ownership (1709), and two small comments that have at some point in the lifetime of this volume been covered over. Interior pages present some foxing and some disoloured areas, but nowhere do these issues mar the ability to read the text blocks. The engraving is particularly lovely - clean and fresh with no foxing save a touch along the margins. All in all, a good binding copy.

The Eloges were Fontenelle's greatest glory. They remain an astonishing - occasionally unique - source of biographical information on the scientists of the epoch. and one finds in his writing what is undoubtedly the best approach in French to the works of Malebranche, Leibniz, Newton, Johann I. Bernoulli, Jean-Dominique Cassini, Varignon and Boerhaave, to cite only a few names". (DSB V p. 61)**6646/L2.

Full Calf. Etat : Very Good+. New Edition. New Edition. Full Calf. Translation to English: Complete Works of M. de Fontenelle, of the Francoise Academy. New Edition, Enhanced and Enriched with figures engraved by BERNARD PICART the ROMAIN. (First, Second, Third Volume) Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle (11 February 1657 9 January 1757), also called Bernard Le Bouyer de Fontenelle, was a French author and an influential member of three of the academies of the Institut de France, noted especially for his accessible treatment of scientific topics during the unfolding of the Age of Enlightenment. He is noted for the accessibility of his work particularly its novelistic style. This allowed non-scientists to appreciate scientific development in a time where this was unusual, and scientists to benefit from the thoughts of the greater society. Minimal head and tail wear, discolored spine/tabs, rubbing/chipping to boards, minor foxing, else tight, bright, and unmarred. Three tomes in folio (22 x 28 cm), full mottled calf binding, titles and friezes in gold on the spine (initial P) and on edging, marbled endpapers, pp (8), 376 for the first volume; pp (8), 440 for the second; pp (3), 434 for the third, which bears the date "1729" on the title page + illus (engravings). Six full-page copper engravings by Picart, including one with the portrait of Fontenelle by Picart and Rigaud. Ex libris label on endpapers (M.Piller).

Couverture rigide. Etat : Très bon. Edition originale. ---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE GRAND DE MARGES ---- Ex-LIBRIS HENRI DE JUVENEL ---- P., Imprimerie Royale, 1727, un volume grand in 4 (26 cm x 19,5 cm) grande marges, relié en plein veau marbré, dos orné de fers dorés, tranches rouges (reliure de l'époque), (13), 548pp., 1 PLANCHE DEPLIANTE ---- "As a member of the Academy of Sciences, FONTENELLE also wished to do work of his own. In 1727, as a "Suite des mémoires de l'Académie royale des sciences", he published the ELEMENTS DE LA GEOMETRIE DE L'INFINI. He had worked on it for a long time, probably since the period of his preface to the Analyse des infiniment petits. The term élémens is to be understood in the sense of "first principles". According to FONTENELLE, none of the geometers who had invented or employed the calculus of infinity had given a general theory of it. That is what he proposed to do. The work is divided into a preface relating the history of this branch of calculus and into two main parts : Système général de l'infini and Différentes applications ou remarques". (DSB V p. 61)**21420/2142/N1.

Eight volumes, octavo, engraved portrait frontispiece in volume 1 and a folding plate in vol. 2; a fine set in contemporary French polished marbled calf; flat spines ornately gilt with double red labels. A very attractive set of Fontenelle's works, including his enormously popular Entretiens sur la Pluralité des Mondes: this utopian analysis of the universe took Europe by storm and was precursor and inspiration to scores of imitations. It was first published in 1686, and first translated into English by Aphra Behn only two years later. Although the Entretiens clearly owes a tremendous debt to the astronomical traditions of Galileo and Brahe, Fontenelle's sensational tale of the inhabitants in "other planets, in other galaxies, and even on comets, could hardly fail to captivate" (Nina Rattner Gelbart, Introduction to the Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds). In the form of an elegant dialogue between a scientist and a Marquise, it takes as its starting point that "Toute la philosophie n'est fondée sur deux choses: sur ce qu'on a l'esprit curieux et les yeux mauvais": that is, that if we had a perfect understanding we would not need science because all would be spontaneously revealed. Meant as a quick summation of scientific discovery, but also as pure speculation on the possibilities of the universe, it suggests that as it has taken six millennia for Europeans to cross the Atlantic Ocean to America, it may take a little longer for the inhabitants of other worlds to cross the far greater expanses of space. This set also includes "Dialogues des Morts anciens" and "Histoire des Oracles", works which exemplify Fontenelle's desire to propagate philosophical thinking. Voltaire described Fontenelle as having the most universal mind produced by the era of Louis XIV. . One or two joints slightly weak.
