Estimate value
€ 800 – 1 200
CHANVALON, abbé de (mort en 1765).

Manuel des champs, ou Recueil choisi... Paris : Lottin le Jeune, 1764.

Édition originale : exemplaire aux armes des ducs de La Rochefoucauld.



Le livre comprend quatre parties : le jardinage, l’agriculture, l’élevage et la cuisine. On trouve dans cette dernière divers conseils de conservation et préparation : on y évoque également le vin, la bière et le cidre. Les recettes sont très brèves, et tiennent souvent en quelques lignes - il s’agit avant tout d’un ouvrage pratique. L’auteur indique dans l’avertissement avoir puisé "dans les meilleures sources, et ne fait aucune difficulté” de lister les ouvrages dont il s’est inspiré. Parmi ces derniers se trouvent notamment la Maison rustique de Liger ou divers écrits de Duhamel du Monceau. En raison de son grand succès, le livre est réédité à trois reprises au XVIIIe siècle. Livres en bouche, 157 ; Cagle, 131 (deuxième édition) ; Peignot, col. 574.



In-12 (164 x 97 mm). (Petit manque de papier en marge extérieure du feuillet de titre, du feuillet v2 et du feuillet E8 occasionnant sur ce dernier la perte de quelques lettres, cahier L bruni.) Reliure de l’époque : veau marbré, armes de La Rochefoucauld au centre des plats, dos à nerfs et caissons ornés, pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, gardes de papier marbré, tranches rouges (très légers frottements à un caisson, habiles et discrètes restaurations aux coins).

Provenance : sur le titre, estampille de la bibliothèque du château de la Roche-Guyon et reliure aux armes de La Rochefoucauld ; Kilian Fritsch (ex-libris).



First edition, bound with the gilt arms of the Ducs de La Rochefoucauld.
