Discours préliminaire sur la mouture économique. S.l.n.d. [Paris : Prault fils, 1780].

Rare mémoire sur la culture du blé et la confection du pain à Lyon, avec pour principale visée de pouvoir en produire plus et de meilleure qualité, pour les indigents. Le mémoire est divisé en trois parties : la première s’attache aux aliments farineux, à la culture du blé et à ses différentes variétés ; la seconde partie décrit le fonctionnement des différentes sortes de moulins (à bras, à vent, à eau) et de celles les plus adaptées à la topographie et aux besoins la ville de Lyon, et, enfin, la troisième compare différentes moutures, c’est-à-dire les manières de moudre les grains. Le texte est complété par quelques chapitres supplémentaires, notamment une comparaison chiffrée des moutures.

Agronome dijonnais, Edme Béguillet est l’auteur de nombreux ouvrages d’agriculture, d’oenologie et d'économie rurale.

Si Oberlé décrit un autre exemplaire comparable comme issu d'une hypothétique édition hors-commerce, donnée vers 1768, il semble qu'il faille plutôt se tourner vers l'édition donnée en 1780, à Paris par Prault fils, du Traité des subsistances et des grains de Béguillet. Chaque partie de ce volumineux ouvrage présente en effet une pagination séparée, et un faux-titre - deux pages "d'avis sur l'ordre des volumes et le placement des planches" détaillent en outre la manière dont le relieur devait composer les volumes. La comparaison avec les exemplaires numérisés, accessibles en ligne, suffit à dissiper tout doute sur l'origine de ce mémoire. Oberlé, Fastes, 812 (décrit erronément l'édition).



In-8 (197 x 122 mm). (Les 3 derniers feuillets sont montés sur onglets. Rousseurs, plus prononcées en début et en fin de volume.) Reliure pastiche du XIXe siècle : demi-basane, tranches rouges.



Very rare publication, devoted to the way wheat could be cultivated, and bread made in Lyon. Comparison with digitized copies suggest that the book is part of larger publication, printed in Paris in 1780, under the title : "Traité des subsistances et des grains".
