Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. First. AN EXCEPTIONAL COPY, UNSOPHISTICATED AND WITH A DISTINGUISHED PROVENANCE. First edition of the translation by Abbé de Bellegarde. Duodecimo (6 3/8" x 3 5/8", 162mm x 92mm). [Full collation available.] With an engraved frontispiece and an engraved headpiece (to the dedication) by P[ierre Franço…is] Giffart. Bound in contemporary speckled armorial calf. On the boards, a blind fillet border and in the center the arms of Gabriel Nicolas de la Reynie within an oval, all gilt. On the spine, five raised bands. Gilt ornaments in the panels with a small gilt "P" in the sixth panel. Title gilt to russet morocco in the second panel. Gilt roll to the edges of the boards. Marbled end-papers. All edges of the text-block speckled red. Celadon silk marking ribbon. With a (contemporary) slip of paper pasted to the title-page correcting the author's name from Balthazar, and one to the end of the dedication (*4r) correcting "tres-affectioné Serviteur" to "tres-obéîssant Serviteur." An utterly unsophisticated copy with its original celadon and white head-bands. Some minor chipping to the extremities, otherwise a fine copy indeed. Essentially without foxing and with exceptional margins (often 20mm at the bottom and fore, 10mm at the top). On the front paste-down, the bookplate of Chateau de Rosny and an oval shelf-mark plate (2451 corrected in red crayon to 3). On the first free end-paper, the bookplate of Bibliotheque Jean-Paul Morin from his Pierre BergéDrouot-Richelieu sale (4 November 2011, lot 36). With the ownership signature of "de la Reynie" in ink to the upper edge of the recto of the initial binder's blank. Bartolomé de Las Casas (14841566) was the first priest ordained in the Americas. He was also the first resident bishop (the first two died before being consecrated) of Chiapas in the southernmost state in Mexico. He had accompanied his father to the New World in Columbus's second voyage of 1493. Appointed as the first Protectoría de los Indios, Las Casas devoted his life and ministry to the betterment of conditions for native people. This work was first published as Brevissima relacion de la destruycion de las Indias (Seville, 1552). He describes in the sharpest detail the mistreatment of these people by the colonists: murder and rape, starvation and beating among a great many other atrocities. His post allowed him to be a conduit between the native people and the Spanish crown, but his writing was the major tool of his advocacy. The translation was carried out by Abbé Jean-Baptiste Morvane de Bellegarde (16481734), a prolific Jesuit writer and translator, whose central interest was ethics. That subject clearly drove the interest in Las Casas's writing, but the timing of publication is curious. The Franco-Spanish War had ended nearly forty years prior, and Maria Teresa of Spain has reigned as Marie-Thérèse, Louis XIV's queen, until her death in 1683. Doubtless anti-Spanish sentiment lurked in the heart of Bellegarde, and a rehearsal of Spanish wickedness would have nourished that sentiment. Gabriel Nicolas de la Reynie (16251709) was the founder of the of the first modern police force, and served as the inaugural lieutenant-general of Paris police. He was also responsible for the program of lighting the streets of Paris, the city of light. More importantly de la Reynie amassed one of the great private libraries of his era. Chateau de Rosny was the home of the Duchesse de Berry (17981870). After the assassination of her husband for whom the Palais d'Elysée, now home of the French president, was designed Madame de Berry sold the chateau in 1836 and its library was auctioned in 1837 (the present item was lot 2178). The shelfmark on an oval label appears on other items from the bibliothèque Rosny. Jean-Paul Morin assembled one of the great libraries of exploration, as his motto JAMAIS PERDU EN MER attests. Hill 982; Sabin 11273.
