Title: Catalogue des Livres rares et précieux, et des Manuscrits, composant la Bibliothèque de M*** [“de Cotte” supplied in a contemporary hand], dont la Vente se fera le Jeudi 22 Germinal (12 Avril 1804) et jours suivans…
Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: COTTE, Jules François de)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: xii, 320, [4] pp. 8vo, cont. polished calf triple gilt fillet round sides, flat spine gilt, blue morocco lettering pieces on spine. Paris: G. De Bure père et fils, 1804. An important sale, containing a large portion of books from the famous De Boze collection. De Boze’s library was acquired in 1753 before the scheduled auction jointly by Cotte (1721-1804), Président au Parlement de Paris, and Charles Robert Boutin, Maître des Requêtes, for the sum of 83,000 livres. They, in turn, sold most of the fifteenth-century books, reputedly for 80,000 livres, to Louis-Jean Gaignat, except for the Gutenberg Bible, of which he probably already owned a copy. Cotte and Boutin then divided up among themselves the books they wished to keep, and sold the remainder by auction through Martin in 1754. This was one of the great and most highly anticipated sales of the period which dispersed a very large portion of the legendary De Boze collection formed more than fifty years before. The sale was an enormous success and Didot was a major buyer. Cotte made his first important purchases at Count d’Hoym’s sale in 1738. Fine and pretty copy with the four-page schedule of sale at end. 2422 lots plus two further numbered lots and one lot of three dozen skins of red morocco. Pages [308]-320 list another ca. 180 lots of manuscripts. Priced throughout with buyers’ names in a contemporary hand. This catalogue is rare. ❧ Gustave Brunet, Dictionnaire de Bibliologie Catholique, col. 439–“Les classiques grecs et et latins y dominent. Belles éditions et exemplaires de choix payés alors à des prix qu’on ne retrouverait plus aujourd-hui.” Guigard, II, pp. 162-63. Peignot, p. 91–“Catalogue intéressant; beaucoup d’articles se sont vendu exorbitamment cher.”.

Title: Catalogue des Livres et Estampes de feu M. De La Haye, Fermier general. Par G. Martin
Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: LA HAYE DE FOSSÉS, Marin de)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: xii, 396 pp. 8vo, cont. mottled calf, spine gilt, red morocco lettering piece on spine. Paris: G. Martin, 1754. A rare sale catalogue of the library of a Fermier général. According to the Preface by Gabriel Martin, La Haye (1684-1753) was a son of one of the Sécretaires du Roi; he became a Fermier General in 1718 and served in this capacity until his death in 1753 at the age of sixty-nine. He was extremely successful and acquired the Hôtel Lambert from the Marquis du Châtelet in 1745 and lived there in great luxury with a large staff. He formed one of the major collections of paintings of the time and his library was considered to be one of the best when compared to those of his contemporaries. For obvious reasons, the collection was strong in works on finance, French history, and government. The first 3547 lots describe the books, lots 3548-3620 the prints and illustrated books, 3621-3708 maps and atlases, 3709-88 a marvelous collection of engraved and printed music, 3789-97 books ordered by subscription, and 3798-3820 a supplement of books. This is one of twenty-two catalogues by Martin with an index. Fine copy, priced throughout in a contemporary hand. From the library of Jean Viardot. ❧ Grolier Club, Printed Catalogues of French Book Auctions…1643-1830, 115. Lugt 855. Peignot, p. 106.

Title: Catalogue des Livres du Cabinet de Mr. G... D... P...disposé & mis en Ordre par Guill. François De Bure le jeune…avec une Table alphabétique des Auteurs
Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: [GIRARDOT DE PRÉFOND, Paul])
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Par Guillaume-Franç. De Bure, le jeune. 3 p.l., lv, [1], 241 pp. 8vo, cont. mottled calf (head of spine a little worn), triple gilt fillet round sides, spine gilt, red morocco lettering piece on spine. Paris: G.F. De Bure, 1757. One of the choicest and most celebrated collections formed in France during the 18th century, this copy has been priced throughout in a contemporary hand. Girardot, a timber merchant, on his retirement from business, became depressed. As Bogeng relates, his doctor, Hyacinthe Baron, himself an important collector, advised him to cure his melancholia by forming a library. The result is recorded in De Bure’s excellently compiled catalogue. Many of the books and MSS. in the collection were bound by Padeloup in the most luxurious fashion. 1428 lots with nine scientific instruments also sold at the end. One of the principal buyers was the Duc de La Vallière. Immediately upon having sold this collection, Girardot embarked upon forming a second, which he sold in 1769 for 50,000 francs to Count Mac-Carthy, displaying both great taste and business acumen. Very attractive copy. ❧ Grolier Club, Printed Catalogues of French Book Auctions…1643-1830, 135.
