Abstract

'A passion for possessing books, not so much to be instructed by them, as to gratify the eye by looking on them': thus is described 'bibliomania' by one of the characters of Thomas Frognall Dibdin, in this humorous novel first published in 1809. Introduced in English at the end of the 18th century, the term 'bibliomania' gained popularity with the publication of Dibdin's eponymous work. Using the entirely revised 1811 edition, this reissue brings back to life Dibdin's bibliomaniac characters and their playful dialogues on the nature and history of book collecting, and, most importantly, on the dangers of the 'fatal disease' that is bibliomania, its strange manifestations - such as the 'vellum', 'first edition', and 'unique copies' symptoms - and its possible cure. The author of numerous bibliographical works, Dibdin provides erudite comments and clarifications to his characters' dialogues in a parallel narrative of footnotes.

Abstract

"Ce petit ouvrage est couvert d'une reliure mosaïquée de maroquin vert, avec un large encadrement de maroquin rouge cerise, jaune citron et vert cerné de filets dorés simples et doubles. Au centre des plats, un décor mosaïqué entoure une miniature sous mica représentant saint Pierre au premier plat et sainte Thérèse au deuxième plat. L'ensemble de la reliure est doré aux petits fers, plusieurs zones des plats étant ornées d'un fond pointillé d'or. Le dos à cinq nerfs est mosaïque de maroquin rouge et jaune citron, orné de fers dorés. Tant la date de l'ouvrage que la dédicace permettent d'identifier le destinataire de cette oeuvre exceptionnelle: la reine Marie Leszczynska, épouse de Louis XV. La reliure est attribuée à Nicolas-Denis Derome, dit le Jeune pour deux raisons principales: parmi les motifs de la dorure, on remarque un petit fer en forme d'ancre. Or, ce motif est très couramment utilisé par Derome le Jeune. En outre, c'est une spécialité de l'atelier Derome, semble-t-il, d'appliquer au centre des plats un motif sous mica. Cette technique fut surtout utilisée pour l'ornementation des almanachs royaux entre 1755 et 1772"--Page 4 of cover.
