RAYNAUD Théophile - Le moine marchand, ou traité contre le commerce des religieux.

Chez Pierre Brunel, à Amsterdam 1714, In 12 (9,2x15,4cm), (18) 263pp., relié. Edition originale de cette traduction française, illustrée d'un frontispice contenant 3 figures et d'une vignette de titre par Quinau. Une première traduction avait paru sous le titre d'Hipparchus en 1645 ; one ne saurait dire pourtant que cette nouvelle traduction réalisé par un protestant soit littérale, il s'agit plutôt d'une traduction libre à laquelle a été rajouté une charge pamphlétaire. Reliure en pleine basane blonde d'époque. Dos à nerfs richement orné. Pièce de titre de maroquin beige. Trous de ver sur le dos avec un manque en pièce de titre. Joli exemplaire cependant. Il y aurait selon l'auteur, tant un commerce répréhensible qu'un second qui ne le serait pas. - Chez Pierre Brunel, à Amsterdam 1714, In 12 (9,2x15,4cm), (18) 263pp., relié.
