HAY, Augustin-Eugène (1715- après 1770)

Recueil des chartes, créations et confirmations des colonels, capitaines, majors, officiers, arbalestriers, archers, arquebusiers et fusiliers de la ville de Paris. Paris : Guillaume Desprez, 1770.

Exemplaire sur grand papier avec toutes les planches coloriées à l’époque, présentant un rare exemple de reliure à dentelle signée du XVIIIe siècle. Il s’agit de l’édition la plus complète de cet ouvrage paru pour la première fois en 1658.

La reliure est signée Durand, probablement Antoine Durand, « établi au XVIIIe siècle, rue du Mont-Saint-Hilaire. Se rendit célèbre sous la Révolution en proposant de faire disparaître les armoiries sur les reliures des ci-devant » (Fléty).

Fort heureusement, celles qui ornent la reliure de cet exemplaire sont intactes : il s’agit de celles d’Antoine-Gaspard Bouchet d’Argis, avocat, conseiller au Parlement de Paris et théoricien du droit.

Cohen – de Ricci, col. 477 ; Colas, n°1393 ; Von Lipperheide, 2297.



Grand in-4 (324 x 234 mm). Exemplaire sur grand papier vergé. 2 portraits gravés (Armand Jérôme Bignon, prévôt des marchands et dédicataire de l’ouvrage, et le colonel Augustin-Eugène Hay, auteur du livre) ; 43 planches de costumes militaires et de postures, gravées sur cuivre, toutes coloriées à l’époque. Il n’a pas été gravé de planche n°3. Quelques taches brunes, surtout marginales. Reliure de l’époque en maroquin rouge de Durand, signée en queue du dos : armes d’Antoine-Gaspard Boucher d'Argis au centre des plats, riche dentelle aux petits fers en encadrement, dos à nerfs et caissons ornés, pièce de titre de maroquin vert, double filet doré sur les coupes, gardes de papier marbré, tranches dorées (discrètes réparations aux coiffes, légers frottements aux coins).

Provenance : Antoine-Gaspard Boucher d’Argis (1708-1791 ; reliure aux armes) – aux feuillets D4 et U1, estampille « Biblioteca del Duca di Genova », probablement Ferdinand de Savoie, duc de Gênes (1822-1855) -- Amédée de Caix de Saint-Aymour (1843-1921 ; ex-libris), archéologue, historien, linguiste et bibliophile.
