COLNET DU RAVEL, Charles-Joseph (1768-1832).

L'Hermite de Belleville, ou Choix d'opuscules politiques, littéraires et satiriques de Charles Colnet... Paris : Bureau de la Gazette de France, Le Normant, Dentu, 1833.

Savoureux recueil renfermant de nombreuses "gâteries gastronomiques" (Oberlé), de la bibliothèque du cuisinier du Grand Véfour. Édition originale.



Chroniques parues notamment dans la Gazette de France. Un long poème culinaire intitulé La Rissoléide ouvre le volume, avant un chapitre élogieux consacré à la Physiologie du goût de Brillat-Savarin : "L'ouvrage que j'annonce honore notre époque, et même un jour il suffira pour la caractériser." Un chapitre intitulé "Le Gastronome français" traite du livre de Grimod et Cadet de Gassicourt, paru en 1828. Parmi les autres chroniques, on trouvera l'amusant "Livre des époux et des femmes", "L'art de la grimace", ou encore le "Dictionnaire des gens du monde". Journaliste et libraire, Colnet du Ravel était également propriétaire d'un cabinet de lecture où se retrouvaient des opposants politiques. De la bibliothèque de Raymond Oliver (1909-1990), auteur de plusieurs ouvrages de cuisine et chef du restaurant Le Grand Véfour au Palais-Royal. Oberlé, Fastes, 393.



2 volumes in-8 (209 x 127 mm). (Brunissures en marges, piqûres et rousseurs éparses.) Reliure de l'époque : basane bleu nuit, encadrement de quintuples filets dorés sur les plats, dos lisses ornés de filets et fleurons dorés, tranches dorées (quelques accrocs aux plats, charnières et coiffes très légèrement frottées).

Provenance : Raymond Oliver (ex-libris).



First edition of this amusing gathering of literary chronicles, among which a critic of Brillat-Savarin's Physiology of taste. From Raymond Oliver's library, who was a cook at the restaurant Le Grand Véfour in Paris.
