Documents de travail d'un société des sciences de Marseille. 

Marseille, s.n., 1740.
More Details >
450 €

Interesting set of working documents of a Scienfitic Society from Marseille in the 18th century.
At the beginning of the eighteenth century two projects of a foundation of a Marseille Academy clashed, the first wanted to devote himself solely to Sciences, the second on the model of the French Academy, wanted to focus on Letters. It is the second project supported by the governor of Provence which won the support of Louis XV and the Academy of Belles-Lettres de Marseille was founded in 1726. It was only in a second time, in 1766, that it will open up to Sciences and the Arts.
We imagine the dismay of Marseilles scientists during the interval, and it is probably this frustration which is at the origin of the creation of the Société des Sciences de Marseille of which we present some documents here.
Lot consisting of 6 pieces:
- 3 transcripts of speeches, one of which addresses the question of the rules of the "Academy" which excluded the religious. It offers openness to abbots and monks, those with interest libraries, but seeking a solution that avoids animosities between the different orders.
- Speech by the perpetual secretary summarizing the work of the Academy during the period 1739-1740.
- Work report: Geometry of Mr Gérard, Mechanics of Mr De Pontis.
- Bundle of 10 tickets, "Tasks of the Academicians for 1741": Each academician offers on a small autograph ticket signed the scientific work they undertake to address during the year 1741. We find the names of Ganteaume, De Pontis , Pelissery, Gérard, Saint-Jacques, Roussin.

We are in January 1941, Claude Levi-Strauss after his demobilization is appointed as professor in Montpellier but is dismissed at the end of 1940 following the racial laws of Vichy. He then seeks to recover his works that have remained at the Museum and for this, asks the recipient to be put in touch with Louise Alcan:
"I, of course, left my functions last month and my great concern is the recovery of all my scientific documents, currently deposited at the Museum, and without which it is impossible for me to return to work".
Louise Alcan (spelled Alkan in the letter) is then a member of the resistance network of the Musée de L'Homme, she will be deported at the end of the war to Auschwitz.

A naturalist, he touched on all sorts of subjects: botany, zoology, mineralogy, antiquities...

Remarques sur le Gouvernement du royaume durant les trois règnes de Henri IV, de Louis XIII, de Louis XIV. 

s.l., s.n., [v. 1750].
More Details >
500 €

Handwritten copy of a work published anonymously by Pierre Marteau in 1688. Barbier attributes the book to Gratien de Courtilz but adds: "Dubious".

The content is rather discourteous towards the monarchs, of whom inglorious episodes are recounted: the lack of merit of Louis XIII (Richelieu having governed for him), Louis XIV preferring the beds of his mistresses to the battlefields... This doubtless explains why handwritten copies were able to circulate under the cloak of the laughers. In fact, two other similar handwritten copies can be found in public libraries.

What remains is a very pretty manuscript, in a perfectly legible late 17th century handwriting.

Handwritten course in Latin probably given in a Jesuit college (the patronage of St. Louis de Gonzague is repeated many times), in the first half of the 18th century. The manuscript is part of the tradition of Aristotelian and Thomistic philosophy which was taught in seminaries and theological faculties in the form of a Compendium mixing physics and metaphysics. The first volume is devoted to metaphysics and logic, including the schemata of Aristotelian categories. The second volume, devoted to physics, is divided into four treatises (on the senses, bodies, movement, gravity) and finally a chapter on meteors.

Original manuscript.
The content seems to include a selection of articles from Abbé Rozier's Cours complet d'agriculture which was published in the form of a dictionary from 1781 to 1800.
Our dictionary stops at the article "Rhue des jardins" which will not appear than in 1789 in Volume VIII of the Cours de Rozier.
Our manuscript, whose writer is unknown, is dated 1786, when Rozier was then a professor at the Practical School of Agriculture in Lyon. This manuscript may therefore be a transcription of the course given by Rozier in Lyon before its publication.
