MOURADJA-D'OHSSON, Ignace de (1740-1807) & Constantin (1779-1851)

Tableau général de l’Empire Othoman. Paris : Firmin Didot, 1787-1789 et 1820.

Exemplaire en reliure de l’époque. La publication d'Ignace de Mouradja d’Ohsson est considérée comme la meilleure description de l’Empire Ottoman de son époque. Il y éclaire notamment son système légal et juridique qui étaient occultes pour ses contemporains. Au service du roi de Suède, l’auteur vint en France en 1787 pour y publier les t.I et t.II. Secoué par les évènements de la Révolution, d’Ohson rentra à Constantinople, sa ville natale, pour poursuivre la rédaction de son œuvre. Constantin, son fils, poursuivit le travail de son père, mort en 1807 et publia un troisième volume treize années plus tard.  

Cohen de Ricci, 763 ; Brunet, III, col. 1932 ; L. Navari, The Ottoman World, II, 846.



3 vol. in-folio (505 x 335 mm). Édition originale, illustrée d’un frontispice par J-B. Simonet d’après Moreau, dédicace avec une vignette aux armes fu roi de Suède et de 235 gravures hors texte en pointe sèche d’après J.B Hillaire exécutées par Cochin, Moreau, Le Barbier et d’autres, planches du t.I gravées avant la lettre (une gravure manquante au t.III [n°170], les cahiers Ee du t.I et Dddd du t.II. sont manquants, une mention manuscrite en fin du t.II datant du premier quart du XIXème siècle indique déjà l’absence de ces derniers, certaines planches reliées dans le désordre, rousseurs dans l’ensemble des trois volumes, planches comprises). Reliure de l’époque : demi-maroquin rouge à long grain à coins, dos à doubles nerfs et caissons ornés, gardes de papier marbré, tranches jaspées (frottements, griffures, dos du t. III passé). Le tome III ayant paru trente ans après les deux premiers, le décor de la reliure, quasiment identique, a été exécuté avec des fers différents.
