Couverture rigide. Zustand: Bon. Poids: 250gr. Intérieur roussi. De I'uvre entière de François-Augustin-Paradis de Moncrif, il ne reste guère aujourd'hui qu'un souvenir incertain. La plupart des hommes seraient fort en peine de citer quelque titre de ses ouvrages. Le moins inconnu de tous reste ce livre de jeunesse Les Chats, que nous rééditons ci-après.

4to. Pp. (iv), xxiv, 236. With French and Arabic text. Uncut copy bound in recent half calf, spine ruled in gilt and with title label. Some foxing throughout, mainly in margins. First edition of this rare work which had been preserved in MS form at the Biblioth?®que Nationale after Venture's death (1799). In 1844, Am? d? e Jaubert arranged for it to be printed and it was included in "Recueil de voyages et de m? moires, Soci? t? de G? ographie" (volume 7). Venture, renowned French orientalist and the king's interpreter for oriental languages. He held various positions as dragoman in Syria, Egypt, and North Africa and was chief interpreter for Napoleon on his expedition to Egypt. However, he had not studied Arabic in academic circles. Venture advocated the need to study oriental languages to promote commercial and political relations. The Berber languages are spoken by groups on the North African coast and far down into the Sahara. Venture incorrectly treats it as a single language, but his work appears to be one of the earliest of importance for the Berber languages.Contains an advertisement by Jaubert and a bibliographical note on Venture by Edme-Fran?ßois Jomard (a travelling companion in the Egyptian expedition). Includes a chapter of Venture's itineraries from North Africa in 1788 which is part of Raynal's papers in the Biblioth?®que Nationale. They are mainly devoted to geographical observations.
