About This Item
Furetiere, Antoine. (1619-1688) Novvelle Allegoriqve ov Histoire des Derniers Trovbles arrivez au Royaume d'Eloquence. Seconde Edition, reveue & corrigee. Paris: chez Pierre Lamy, au Palais au second Pilier de la grand' Salle, au grand Cefar, 1659.
Duodecimo. Second Edition a8, A-H12, I6, K3. This book is bound in red quarter calf over marbled boards. The edges of the leaves are marbled as well. The spine is gilded. The leaves have some browning and spotting but nothing that impairs legibility.
Antoine Furetiere: Well esteemed by both Racine and Moliere, Furetiere is probably best known for his Dictionary. His 'Nouvelle Allegoriques,' however, is a fascinating piece that was first printed in 1658. It describes eloquence, allegory, and writing in general. Antoine Furetiere was "a French writer, born in Paris in 1620, became Abbe of Chalivoy. He was chosen a member of the French Academy in 1662. In his "Bourgeois Romance" ("Romance Bourgeois," 1666) he satirized the manners of the middle or inferior class; he also wrote "The Voyage of Mercery", a satire in verse, (1673). Having undertaken to compile a Dictionary of the French language while that of the Academy was in progress, he was accused of plagiarism, and expelled from the Academy, in 1685. He died in 1688. His Dictionary was published in 1690, and was received with favor." (Thomas)
Not in Graesse. See vol. 2, 647. Only one copy in the USA. Second copy is in Tokyo, Japan. A very rare edition.
