Zustand: Good. Folio sheet. 47.5 x 30 cm. Lithographed printer's marks and manuscript. Plate 36 from Bilder-Hefte zur Geschichte des Bücherhandels und der mit demselben verwandten Künste und Gewerbe by Heinrich Lempertz. Jean, son of Abraham, born in 1622, had since 1647 been in partnership with his father and uncle at Leiden, and when they died Daniel, son of Bonaventure, born in 1626, joined him. Their partnership did not last more than two years, and after its dissolution Jean carried on the business alone until his death in 1661. In 1654 Daniel joined his cousin Louis (the third of that name and son of the second Louis), who was born in 1604, and had established a printing press at Amsterdam in 1638.From 1655 to 1666 they published a series of Latin classics in 8vo, cum notis variorum; Cicero in 4to; the Etymologicon linguae Latinae; and in 1663 a magnificent Corpus Juris Civilis in folio in two volumes. Louis died in 1670, and Daniel in 1680. Besides Bonaventure, another son of Matthieu, Isaac, born in 1593, established a printing press at Leiden, where he carried on business to 1625; but none of his editions attained much fame. The last representatives of the Elzevir printers were Peter, grandson of Joost, who from 1667 to 1675 was a bookseller at Utrecht, and printed seven or eight volumes of little consequence; and Abraham, son of the first Abraham, who from 1681 to 1712 was university printer at Leiden.

Amstelodami (Amsterdam), 1681, in-12°, 18 x 10 cm, untrimmed copy. Title + (1)(bl) + (38) pp. Bound in old but not contemporary half leather, gilt title on back, marbled endpapers. Printed on laid-paper with watermark ( 'three spheres, diameter ca. 7 mm, touching each other and topped by a right-angled triangle with a height of ca. 10 mm). See Willems 20 ; Berghman 2002. The Berghman catalogue (note at n° 2002) estimates that only 4 or 5 copies are still in existence., We collated our copy against the BM copy. It looks as if our copy is from a previous imprint. It has been used as a proof copy and bears the manuscript ink marks of a professional corrector; e.g. pp A3 Bassecourt, Sermons de Pieté =/Piété ; Baxter.pecheurs =/pécheurs ; pp A4 Calvifii =/Calvisii. Page A9recto :*histoire de l'Eucharistie, 8. This last entry has been changed in (format) 4. (Correction as it appears in the BM copy). Most of the corrections have been taken over by the British Museum copy. According the previous owner, in the 19th century the catalogue belonged to a French collector named De Viry from the neighbourhood of Rodez. Willems (n°20) states in his description that this catalogue is extremely rare. As pointed out above our copy seems to be from an imprint which preceded Willems 20. We reckon this copy to be of the utmost rarety - perhaps unique !! We add to our copy the CD-Rom with the BM copy. We also add the very rare reprint made in 1823 by J. Motteley, printed by Firmin Didot, in 100 copies only. Incidently this reprint corresponds exactly with the BM imprint.
