Description
London, 1710. Bayle, Pierre (1647-1706). An historical and critical dictionary . . . translated into English, with many additions and corrections, made by the author himself, that are not in the French editions. 4 vols. [28], 800; [4], 801-1550; [4], 1551-2434; [4], 2439-3108, xciv, [56]pp. (numerous irregularities in the pagination). London: Printed for C. Harper, D. Brown, J. Tonson, A. and J. Churchill [etc.], 1710. 368 x 235 mm. Paneled calf ca. 1710, rebacked, endpapers renewed, some rubbing and wear. Minor spotting, soiling and toning, but very good. First Edition in English of Bayle's Dictionnaire historique et critique (1695-97). Bayle's monumental Dictionnaire was one of the two first vernacular encyclopedias to make an impact on the European world of letters, the other being the Abbé Moréri's Le grand dictionnaire historique (1674; see no. xx in this catalogue), a work deliberately designed as an apologia and defense of the Catholic Church. Bayle, a French Protestant philosopher living in exile in Rotterdam, intended his Dictionnaire to be "an anti-clerical counterblast to Moréri's work," written, "as he put it, 'to rectify Moréri's mistakes and fill in the gaps.' Bayle championed reason against belief, philosophy against religion, tolerance against superstition. In a seemingly detached way he posed arguments and counter-arguments side by side, reserving his most daring insinuations to the renvois (references) which supplemented the actual entries. For over half a century, until the publication of the Encyclopédie, Bayle's Dictionnaire dominated enlightened thinking in every part of Europe" (Printing and the Mind of Man 155). Bayle's Dictionnaire had a profound influence on many thinkers of the Enlightenment, including Diderot and the other Encylopédistes, David Hume, and George Berkeley. . 4500.

Description
In Bologna: dall’Erede di Vittorio Benacci per la Stamperia Camerale, 1707. Broadside.  435 x 305 mm., [17 x 11 ½ inches].  Illustrated with a woodcut of the arms of Grimaldi enclosed in red ink by a cardinal hat and ties.  Text of the broadside printed in black ink.  Broadside previously folded resulting in a small tear at lower fold, otherwise a very good copy. Official notice or “grida”, the text of which begins, “We have heard that many Jews who pass through that City and who need to stop there do not lodge in the Capello Rosso Osteria, a place designated for them. . .”  Jews who do not stay in this restricted quarter of the city are called “transgressori” and are libel for fines and punishments as outlined in the original law, published in 1682, which is reprinted here at the bottom of this broadside.  The original restrictions state that Jews arriving before 9pm must not stop in the city and those who arrive after this time must take lodging at the Capello Rosso Osterias, “a place designated for them, and no other, and then, the following morning they must leave at sunrise . . .under penalty of three strokes of cord. . .” This broadside was published in 1707 as a reminder to travelers, as it was found that many Jews coming into Bologna were staying in many parts of the city and even in private house which was strictly forbidden. Rare:  Not cited in ICCU (Italian Union Catalogue) or OCLC.  .
