Edition originale
First edition of this anonymous translation of the third century Greek romance Aethiopica, a work highly prized in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe as perhaps the earliest prose adventure. It was admired and imitated by European authors such as Racine, Mme de Scudéry, Marin le Roy de Gomberville, Cervantes, and Aphra Behn and exercised a profound influence on the development of the European novel. This translation is sometimes ascribed to Louis-François de Fontenu. 2 vols.,12mo (152 × 95 mm.), pp. x, 213, [1]; [ii], 190. Engraved frontispieces to each vol. (the first an additional title), 10 engraved plates, titles printed in red and black with engraved vignettes, engraved headpieces. Occasional light browning and soiling, the second frontispiece slightly stained. Contemporary mottled calf, flat spines gilt in compartments, 2 black morocco labels to each. Minor repair to spines and joints. A good copy. [Cioranescu 29097; Quérard, La France littéraire IV, 57; Cohen/de Ricci 478; Lewine 236; Gay I, 160; Hoefer XXIII, 822.].

Intérieur très frais imprimé sur beau papier avec marges amples. Les figures hors-texte sont avant la lettre. ÉDITION ILLUSTRÉE DE SECOND TIRAGE. Réimpression page pour page du premier tirage. Elle fut motivée, écrit Cohen, par le désir d'atténuer certaines illustrations un peu libres de la première édition : on couvrit la 8e figure (femme sur le bûcher), on supprima le frontispice du tome II et on répéta les vignettes de façon à éliminer six d'entre elles ; on grava de plus une vignette nouvelle (trois Amours tirant de l'arc) que l'on plaça aux livres 5, 6 et 9. Pour ce second tirage Cohen ne cite que des exemplaires reliés en veau. On ne sait pour ainsi dire rien de cet écrivain syrien de langue grecque ayant vécu au IIIe ou au IVe siècle, auteur d'un roman intitulé les Éthiopiques ou les Amours de Théagène et Chariclée. Ce roman aurait été composé dans sa jeunesse. L'arrière-plan historique que l'on devine dans l'évocation qui est faite de l'Éthiopie, ainsi que la coloration néo-pythagoricienne de l' uvre et l'insistance sur la religion du soleil (à l'honneur sous le règne d'Aurélien), tout cela incite à situer la date de la composition du roman dans la seconde moitié du IIIe siècle. C'est l'histoire d'une princesse d'Éthiopie (terme désignant alors la Nubie), abandonnée à sa naissance par sa mère la reine Persina et transportée à Delphes où elle est élevée par le Grec Chariclès sous le nom de Chariclée et devient prêtresse d'Artémis. Assistant à des jeux gymniques à Athènes, elle rencontre un jeune Thessalien qui y concourt, nommé Théagène, et ils s'éprennent l'un de l'autre. Pour obéir à un oracle, ils quittent Delphes sous la conduite du sage égyptien Calasiris, et après plusieurs aventures en mer sont jetés par un naufrage en Égypte, sur les bouches du Nil. Ils traversent alors de rudes épreuves, tantôt ensemble, tantôt séparés, notamment du fait de la passion qu'Arsacé, femme du satrape d'Égypte Oroondatès, conçoit pour Théagène. Prisonniers des Perses, ils sont finalement capturés par l'armée du roi Hydaspe et conduits à Méroé, capitale de l'Éthiopie. Inconnus, ils sont sur le point d'être immolés au soleil quand Chariclès arrive de Grèce et la reconnaissance attendue a lieu. L'histoire finit par le mariage des héros, qui se sont gardés fidèles l'un à l'autre. Chariclée, de peau blanche, se croyait grecque, mais se découvre africaine à la fin du roman. Les dernières pages donnent une explication de la couleur blanche de cette jeune fille dont les deux parents sont noirs. À la Renaissance, il fut imprimé pour la première fois à Bâle en 1534, et fut traduit en français par Jacques Amyot en 1547, en anglais par Thomas Underdowne en 1569. Son influence fut très grande aux XVIe et XVIIe siècle : il était vu comme une uvre majeure de l'Antiquité, au même titre que l Iliade et l Odyssée ou que l Énéide de Virgile. (source Wikipédia).
