Histoire de Gouberdom, portier des Chartreux. Nouvelle édition, revue, corrigée & augmentée sous les yeux du St. Père. Rome : s.n., 1786 ou Grenoble : de l’Imprimerie de la Grande Chartreuse, s.d.

Exemplaire en reliure de l'époque. Cet ouvrage pornographique, généralement attribué à Jean-Charles Gervaise de Latouche, avocat au Parlement de Paris, parut pour la première fois en 1741. Succès de librairie, il fut réédité à de nombreuses reprises, sous des titres différents. Ici, le Gouberdom éponyme est bien évidemment l’anagramme de Dom Bougre, dont le nom apparaît d’ailleurs en fin d’ouvrage. Son histoire est ici est augmentée d'un poème intitulé "Félicités éternelles", et de deux pièces en vers ("On baise la mule du Pape", et le "Chapitre général des Cordeliers").



Cohen-de Ricci, col. 431, évoque une édition à la même adresse grenobloise, mais dont la pagination se suit, ce qui n’est pas le cas de celle-ci ; Pia, Enfer, col. 620-621 ; The Private case, n°799 (évoque bien 1 frontispice + 20 planches, tirées en sanguine, avec un titre gravé portant l’adresse de Grenoble, comme ici) ; Dutel A-522 ; Gay-Lemonnyer, II, col. 497.



2 parties en 1 vol. in-8 (210 x 125 mm). 1 frontispice, 1 titre gravé et 20 planches (respectivement 11 et 9), l’ensemble tiré en bistre. Reliure de l'époque : veau moucheté de l’époque, dos lisse orné, pièce de titre et tomaison de maroquin vert, gardes de papier décoré, tranches ornées (quelques frottements, un coin restauré).

Provenance : Tony Fekete (ex-libris).



Contemporary-bound copy of this pornographic novel, illustrated with 20 plates.
