LIGER, Louis (1658-1717).

Oeconomie générale de la campagne, ou Nouvelle maison rustique. Paris : Charles de Sercy, 1700.

Édition originale de ce manuel d’exploitation agricole, où l’on apprend notamment « la manière de faire quelques Confitures, dont un homme aisé laisse rarement sa Maison dégarnie ».



L'Économie générale de la campagne s'inscrit dans la lignée de la Maison rustique de Charles Estienne et du Théâtre d'agriculture d'Olivier de Serres. Elle a été continuellement réimprimée sous le titre de Nouvelle maison rustique.



Les troisième et quatrième livres sont consacrés à la taille et l’entretien des arbres, dont la vigne, et aux plaisirs de la campagne, dont la cuisine (« le lecteur sera prévenu que la cuisine dont nous parlons icy, est une cuisine purement champêtre, & qui regarde plus l’oeconomie dont nous traitons, que la délicatesse des ragoûts qu’on recherche dans les grandes tables »). Ainsi y trouve-t-on de nombreuses recettes plus ou moins sommaires de cuisine, pâtisseries, confiseries et liqueurs, parmi lesquelles le Bout-saigneux en haricot, les Citroüilles en Andoüillettes et les Pigeons en compote. Brunet, III, 1075 ; INED, Économie et population, II, 398 ; Vicaire, 520.



2 volumes in-4 (250 x 182 mm). Illustré d'un bandeau gravé sur cuivre par Lochon et une lettrine gravée sur cuivre pour l’épître dédicatoire à Mansard, bandeaux et fleurons gravés sur bois dans le texte, et 94 figures sur bois dans le texte représentant des outils de jardinage, greffes, taille des arbres et de la vigne, etc (restauration au f. 2X atteignant le texte). Reliure de l’époque : veau brun moucheté, dos à nerfs ornés, pièces de titre de maroquin rouge, tranches mouchetées rouges (menus frottements).

Provenance : Marolles (cachet sur les titres).



First edition, in contemporary calf.
