Couverture rigide. Etat : Bon. Jacques RAVENEAU. Traité des inscriptions en faux et reconnoissances d'Escritures & signatures par comparaison & autrement. 1666, Thomas Jolly, Paris. 1 vol. in-12 (15,2 x 8,4 cm) relié de [22], 215 pages. Reliure de l'époque demi veau, dos lisse orné de caissons, filets, frises, fleurons, et titre, frappés à l'or fin. Tranches rouges. Coiffe supérieure rognée sur la partie gauche, intérieur frais, note bibliographique en fausse garde, coins émoussés. Deux planches gravées sur cuivre en début d'ouvrage. Rare édition originale de la toute première étude de graphologie. Jacques Raveneau, expert en graphologie auprès du Parlement, a étudié les divers moyens de contrefaire et d'altérer les écritures. Il fut victime de son habilité. Ayant tiré lui-même parti de ses connaissances il fut emprisonné et mourut dans les fers. Son livre fut interdit comme pernicieux car il mettait à la portée du public les procédés des faussaires». La Bibliothèque nationale de France possède un exemplaire unique de l'ouvrage de Raveneau dont la page de titre est datée de 1665. D'après Anne Sauvy, 'Livres saisis à Paris entre 1678 et 1701 (1972) n° 19', l'édition de 1665 porte un privilège daté de juillet 1665. cette copie est une note indiquant que ce privilège a été obtenu irrégulièrement. Vraisemblablement, Raveneau a dû retarder la publication jusqu'à ce qu'il obtienne un privilège accepté ; le privilège dans l'édition de 1666 est daté du 8 avril 1666. Cette édition de 1666 comprend une riche dédicace au magistrat français Guillaume Ier de Lamoignon, marquis de Basville, qui fut premier président du Parlement de Paris. La dédicace figure bien en évidence sur la page de titre.

Couverture rigide. Etat : Bon. In 12 (170x100 mm), veau granité, tranches rouges, dos orné, reliure époque. Pièce de titre, 2ff-444 pp- 1ff catalogue Nouvelle édition de cet important témoignage sur les flibustiers américains dont l édition originale avait paru en 1689. Bel exemplaire 12mo, 19th cent. Gilt calf ; joints sl. Worn, very good copy Raveneau de Lussan, a young Frenchman who wished to see the world, sailed from France for San Domingue in 1679. His indebtedness led him to join the buccaneers in search of his fortune ; France and Spain were at war, and French buccaneers found both wealth and protection while harassing the Spain. By his own reckoning, Raveneau de Lussan was very devout, never allowing his crew to molest priests or nuns, or to sack churches. After taking a Spanish town, he and his men would attend Mass before commencing to loot. He also recounts his love affair with a Spanish widow. Raveneau spent several months raiding in the West-Indies, and several years raiding the Pacific coast between Guatemala and Chile. He details both the romantic and the bleak sides of the buccaneering profession, interwoven with colourful descriptions of the natives of the regions and a clear picture of the Spanish colonies on the Pacific. Raveneau de Lussan s journal was first published in Paris in 1689. Other French editions were issued in 1705.

Raveneau, Jacques (d. ca. 1683). Traité des inscriptions en faux et reconnoissances d'escritures & signatures par comparaison & autrement. 12mo. [22], 215pp. 2 engraved plates, folding printed leaf after p. 124. Paris: Thomas Jolly, 1666. 152 x 84 mm. Mottled calf, gilt spine ca. 1666, hinges cracked, extremities and corners worn. Minor foxing but very good. Former owner's note on the verso of the front free endpaper. First Edition of the first book on the detection of forged documents, with the imprint dated 1666 and privilege dated 8 April 1666. The Bibliothèque nationale de France has a unique copy of Raveneau's work with title-page dated 1665. According to Anne Sauvy, Livres saisis à Paris entre 1678 and 1701 (1972) No. 19, the 1665 edition bears a privilege dated July 1665. In that copy is a note indicating that this privilege was obtained improperly. Presumably Raveneau had to delay publication until he obtained an accepted privilege; the privilege in the 1666 edition is dated April 8, 1666. This 1666 edition includes a florid dedication to French magistrate Guillaume Ier de Lamoignon, marquis de Basville, who was first president of the Parliament of Paris. The dedication is prominently featured on the title page. Raveneau, a professional calligrapher and scrivener, described here the various methods of counterfeiting documents and signatures, articulating the important legal principle that a signature should be considered false if it conforms too closely to a known example. The French authorities suppressed publication of the Traité, believing that the information it contained was as useful to forgers as it was to those detecting forgeries, and it is possible that Raveneau may have been imprisoned for writing the book . The 1666 edition is very rare on the market. Further editions were published in Luxembourg in 1673, and in Paris (presumably after the ban had been lifted) in 1691. This copy contains an old inscription facing the title page, probably from the 19th century, that may be translated, "This book was prohibited for the reason that it gave forgers the means to falsify, fake or alter writings, and has become excessively rare." .

Raveneau de Lussan, a young Frenchman who whished to see the world, sailed from France for San Domingue in 1679. His indebtedness led him to join the buccaneers in search of his fortune. Raveneau spent several months raiding in the West Indies, and several years raiding the Pacific coast between Guatemala and Chile.

Lyon, Duplain, 1774. Quatre volumes in-12 (170 X 107 mm) basane fauve granitée, encadrement de filet noir sur les plats, dos lisse cloisonné et orné d'urnes dorées, pièces de titre et de tomaison, coupes filetées à froid, tranches rouges (Reliure de l'époque).

NOUVELLE ÉDITION de l'UN DES PLUS CÉLÈBRES OUVRAGES CONSACRÉS À LA FLIBUSTE dans la version française de Jean de FRONTIGNIÈRES. Elle est corrigée et augmentée du "Journal du Voyage fait à la Mer du Sud" [tome 3) par le flibustier français Jacques RAVENEAU DE LUSSAN et de l'"Histoire des pirates anglais" (tome 4) attribué à Daniel DEFOE et Nathaniel MIST (1685-1737), publiée pour la première fois en 1724 sous le pseudonyme du « capitaine Charles Johnson ». Ce grand classique de récits d'aventures dans les mers des Caraïbes rédigé primitivement par A.-O. EXQUEMELIN (1645-1707/11), flibustier français et chirurgien de bord pendant huit années du corsaire Henry Morgan, fut publié pour la première fois en néerlandais en 1678. Il y est notamment décrit avec précision la guerre des Caraïbes opposant Français, Hollandais et Espagnols, guerre dans laquelle Exquemelin joua un rôle important. L'ouvrage connut un succès de librairie immédiat qui déclencha des traductions allemande, espagnole, anglaise et française. La première version française de Jean de FRONTIGNIÈRES fut publiée en 1686 sous le titre "Histoire des Aventuriers" : elle est très augmentée par rapport à la version néerlandaise d'origine et comprend de nombreux détails et anecdotes qui ne figurent pas dans les autres traductions. BEL EXEMPLAIRE conservé dans sa reliure d'époque en PARFAIT ÉTAT. (Sabin, 23478 - Polak, 7143 : « Cette édition ne comporte pas de planches mais elle est plus recherchée que l'originale car elle comporte les tomes 3 et 4 » - Leclerc, 199, pour la deuxième édition (1688) de la traduction française de Frontignières, en 2 volumes in-12 ). NICE COPY. PICTURES AND MORE DETAILS ON REQUEST.

Second and earliest feasibly obtainable edition, the Fletcher de Saltoun copy, of the first manual on the detection of forged documents. A pioneering work in the scientific study of handwriting, it teaches how to identify different types of fakes, discusses penmanship, paper, and erasures, and provides a recipe for an invisible ink. The treatise was published in Paris the year before "chez l'Auteur", with a privilege dated July 1665. No copies of the first edition are traced in auction records, and only one is recorded in libraries worldwide, in the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Sauvy notes that the BNF copy bears a privilege dated July 1665 and a manuscript note indicating that such privilege had been obtained improperly. Presumably, Raveneau (died c.1683 had to delay publication until he secured a legitimate privilege du Roy, which is included in this second edition and dated April 1666. Raveneau was a maître écrivain and forensic writing expert. Traité des inscriptions is a "pivotal work - the one which, until recent years and before the use of laboratory methods, remained the most comprehensive, the most insightful, and the model to follow. [Raveneau] knows how to determine whether handwriting is old or freshly done, whether certain lines or words were added, whether there was any addition, subtraction, or replacement of pages, alterations, or substitution of one number for another" (trans from Locard, p. 11). Parisian authorities suppressed the work, believing its contents would be as valuable to forgers as to those attempting to detect forgeries. Despite this, it was reprinted in 1673 and 1691. In 1682, Raveneau was arrested, tried, and sentenced to life imprisonment - an outcome that Sauvy suggests was a result of him exploiting his expertise for personal gain. Provenance: Andrew Fletcher (1653-1716), the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, with his signature on the rear pastedown. He gained a reputation as a patriot for his opposition to union with England. His library was the largest private collection of books in Scotland at the turn of the 18th century. He spoke Italian and travelled extensively across Europe (sometimes in political exile), including to the Netherlands, France, Spain, and Germany. It was most likely on these travels that Fletcher acquired the greater part of his library. Sauvy 19. Edmond Locard, Les faux en écriture et leur expertise, 1959. Duodecimo (145 x 85 mm). With 2 engraved plates (an elaborate monogram and the coat of arms of dedicatee Guillaume de Lamoignon), folding letterpress table. Contemporary sprinkled calf, spine with raised bands, compartments lettered and tooled in gilt, gilt foliate roll to board edges, edges sprinkled red. Old library labels on spine, near-contemporary inscription at foot of rear pastedown. Spine ends and corners worn, joints cracked, but firm, rear pastedown sometime scratched to remove inscription, contents lightly toned, occasional marginal foxing. A very good copy.
