LE GRAND d'AUSSY, Pierre Jean-Baptiste (1737-1800).

Histoire de la vie privée des Français… Paris : Ph.-D. Pierres, 1782.

Histoire de l'aliment et gastronomie historique. Édition originale. Exemplaire de première émission.



Jésuite, historien membre de l'Institut, Le Grand d'Aussy reprit le projet inabouti lancé par le marquis de Paulmy et Contant d'Orville dans leur Précis d'une histoire générale des François (1779). Son ouvrage est une enquête sur tout ce qui concerne la nourriture, les boissons (près de 200 pages), les mets, festins, banquets et usages de la table, le tout présenté sous forme commode par produits et assorti d'une précieuse table des matières. Si l'auteur contribua à la redécouverte des livres de cuisine anciens, ses sources sont trop rarement indiquées. L'ouvrage constitue la bible des historiens de l'alimentation et de la "vie domestique", avec une richesse de détails inégalée, anticipant les travaux de Philippe Ariès et Georges Duby. Livres en bouche, 6 ; Vicaire, 510 (« Ouvrage très intéressant et très utile ») ; Cagle, 274 ; Simon, Bibliotheca gastronomica, 946.



3 volumes in-8 (197 x 122 mm). (T. I : déchirure au f. R2 et manque de papier en pied du f. G5 ; t. III : ff. Z3 et Z4 intervertis). Reliure de l’époque : basane marbrée, dos à nerfs ornés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin rouge, filet sur les coupes, tranches rouges (frottements et légères épidermures, trous aux mors).



First edition, in contemporary binding.
