Small 8vo. Pp. (xvi), 315. With two folding plates with Hebrew characters (the first plate with tears and the second with tears repaired at the back with some loss). Contemporary limp vellum, stained. Internally with some insignificant stain. A scholarly treatise on ancient talismanic magic and Jewish mysticism (Kabbala). Gaffarel (1601-1681), theolog, was the librarian to Cardinal Richelieu. Around 1623 Gaffarel travelled to Italy where he acquired a.o. the Kabbala manuscripts of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. This work comprises four parts; the first part defends "the Oriental men", part two treats the use of talismans or amulets in ancient times; the third part deals with the ancient Hebrew astrology and the last part is about reading messages in the stars. Gaffarel then describes the "celestial writing" or arrangement of stars into Hebrew characters. This is illustrated in the two plates. First published in 1629, reprinted many times and translated into English in 1650. This work was critized and condemned by the Theology Faculty in Paris but defended by Gassendi and studied by Descartes. Brunet ii, 1433. Caillet ii, 4293. Thorndike vii, pp. 304-306.
Couverture rigide. Zustand: Bon. (54), 644pp., 2 planches Paris, Hervé du Mesnil, 1629, in-8, (54), 644pp, 2 planches repliées, vélin souple de l'époque avec attaches (quelques manques de vélin et les attaches de cuir ont été arrachées), Un grand traité de kabbalistique condamné par la Sorbonne. Edition originale parisienne de cet important traité au croisement de l'alchimie, de l'occultisme et de la kabbale. Son livre étant condamné par la Sorbonne dés 1629, le prêtre, docteur en droit canon qu'était Jacques Gaffarel, ne tint pas tête à la censure ecclésiastique et désavoua son livre en signant une double rétractation ("Retractatio Jac. Gaffarelli, auctoris libri. Des Curiositez inouyes" [.], Paris, J. Guillemot, 1629). Malgré cette condamnation, l'ouvrage fut très largement diffusé tout au long du XVIIe siècle, tout d'abord à Lyon et Rouen au début des années 1630, puis, de nouveau, à Paris, à partir de 1650. Jacques Gaffarel, ecclésiastique, orientaliste et hébraïsant, acquit une culture singulière par la lecture de textes judaïques et orientaux. Il la mit à profit dans ses "Curiositez", publiés alors qu'il n'avait que 28 ans. En effet, dans le présent ouvrage, il tente, en suivant la méthode de Guillaume Postel, d'appliquer l'interprétation kabbalistique à l'astronomie. Ainsi les figures ou les formes des talismans du fait de leur ressemblance avec les signes de certaines constellations, celles-ci influant sur l'existence des hommes, expriment des puissances naturelles efficientes sur la vie et les corps humains. De cette méthode analogique, l'auteur peut justifier la divination par les songes et la physionomie et recommander le recours à l'astrologie des anciens hébreux pour "lire tout ce qui arrive d'important dans l'univers". Deux grandes planches repliées figurent deux planisphères au sein desquels les étoiles ont été substituées par des signes hébraïques selon le système d'Hamahalzel, traduit du persan en hébreux par Khomer. De nombreuses notes anonymes de l'époque en français courent dans les marges du présent exemplaire. Il s'agit de notes de travail : résumé, répétition de noms propres, traductions de mots en grecs, références bibliographiques, etc. Curieux ouvrage emprunt de ce syncrétisme passionné et passionnant qui caractérise encore le premier XVIIe siècle, après les grandes théories ésotériques de la Renaissance. Bon exemplaire grande de marge dans sa reliure d'époque.

Erstausgabe
First edition of this work on star reading, Persian talismans, and the Kabbalah by Gaffarel, Richelieu's librarian and the noted orientalist. This copy is from the library of Jérôme Bignon II, Advocate General to the Paris Parlement and the librarian to the king, with his gilt arms on the covers. Gaffarel (1601-1681) studied in Valence and Paris, and had a wide knowledge of oriental languages, including Hebrew, Arabic, Syrian, and Persian. Curiositez was his major work, based on his competence in the field of Jewish manuscripts and especially the Kabbalah. "Gaffarel was one of the most scholarly connoisseurs of such manuscripts and had long travelled all over Italy collecting them for Richelieu's library" (Mulsow, p. 342). The work is divided into four sections: the first is a defence of astrology from Christian charges of superstition and idolatry, the second is concerned with the talismanic sculpture of the Persians, the third focuses on Hebrew astrology, and the fourth concerns star reading. The fourth part argues that the letters of the Hebrew alphabet can be deduced from constellations and that this alphabet being "written" in the stars has a divine origin. This idea, previously advanced by Guillaume Postel in his De originibus seu de Hebraica lingua (1538), is here illustrated in two large celestial maps bound at the end showing the stars arranged to form Hebrew letters. Gaffarel also reports, on pages 97-98, his discovery in Italy of a Persian text by an author named Hamahalzel, in the Hebrew translation by Rabbi Khomer; no authors with these names are known, and the authenticity of the text is debated by modern scholars. "On August 1, 1629, the faculty of theology at Paris condemned Gaffarel's book as 'entirely to be disapproved', and called its doctrine false, erroneous, scandalous, opposed to Holy Writ, contumelious towards the Church Fathers, and superstitious" (Thorndike, p. 306). On 4 October, Gaffarel signed a rather vague retraction stating that in the book he was merely recording opinions collected from Arabic and Hebrew sources. Despite this controversy, Curiositez proved extremely popular; it was immediately republished in a number of authorized and pirated editions, translated into Latin and English, and was still being reprinted in the early 18th century. Provenance: with Bignon's manuscript shelf mark "Bignon. No. 307 00" on the front pastedown; a few early underlinings and manuscript corrections to the text providing alternate spellings might be in his hand. Bignon (1627-1697) had inherited his offices in the Parliament and Royal Library from his father. The books in the Bignon family library were sold by Father Jean-Paul Bignon (1662-1743) to the financier John Law, who resold them to Cardinal Dubois (1656-1723). This book was lot 1092 in the catalogue of Dubois's sale in 1725. It later entered the collection of François-Michel de Verthamon, marquis de Breau (d. 1738), with his armorial bookplate on the rear pastedown.
