BLAEU, Johannes (1596-1673)

Theatre des états de son Altesse Royale le Duc de Savoye. Tome I: Contenant le Piémont, la ville de Turin, et les lieux voisins. Tome II: Contenant la Savoye. Traduit du Latin en François. La Haye : Adrian Moetjens, 1700.

Exemplaire en reliure de l’époque de cette première édition française, illustrée des mêmes planches qui figurent dans l'édition hollandaise, mais avec le portrait de Victor Amédée II en supplément. La collation de notre exemplaire correspond bien à celle donnée par Koeman. L'exemplaire sur lequel Koeman travailla est celui de la Bibliothèque nationale de France qui est incomplet (comme c'est le cas pour notre exemplaire) d'un portrait qui devait figurer au début du tome II mais qui n'est pas mentionné dans la table.

Les planches gravées par Decker, de Hooghe, Jan Blaeu, et d'autres artistes montrent entre autres des vues et vestiges d'Aoste, de Turin, d'Annecy, de Villefranche, de Revello et d'Asti.

Koeman BI 81, BI 82 ; Van der Krogt IV-1, 43:322.1-2.



2 vol. in-folio (576 x 325 mm).

Volume I, Piémont : frontispice allégorique, vignette de titre gravée, 3 portraits gravés à pleine page, bandeau, lettrine et gravure à pleine page aux armes de la Savoie, 1 arbre généalogique à double page avec carton en partie inférieure, culs-de-lampe gravés, et 65 cartes, plans et vues, la plupart à double page.

Volume II, Savoie : frontispice allégorique, vignette de titre gravée, bandeau, et lettrine et gravure aux armes de la Savoie, et 69 cartes, plans et vues, la plupart à double page.

Quelques salissures, rousseurs et taches. Petite déchirure sans perte au niveau de la gouttière d’une des planches doubles du t. II.

Reliure de l’époque : veau moucheté, dos ornés, pièces de titre et de tomaison en maroquin rouge, gardes de papier marbré, tranches rouges (mors usés et fendus par endroits, quelques restaurations aux dos, manques et frottements aux extrémités).

Provenance : Humbert Ier, roi d’Italie (1844-1900, ex-libris en tant que prince de Savoie et du Piémont).



First edition in French, of Duke Charles Emanuel II of Savoy's ambitious plan to add Piedmont and Savoy to the Blaeu's planned gigantic multi-volume atlas of the towns and monuments of Italy. In the event, Blaeu only saw the volumes relating to the Ecclesiastical State, Rome and Naples & Sicily through the press, with those for Piedmont and Savoy published posthumously. The plates in the present lot are the same as those in earlier the Dutch edition, but with the addition of the portrait of Victor Amédée II, Duke of Savoy. The copy comes from the library of Umberto I of Italy.
