[Blaise PASCAL]. Les Provinciales ou Les Lettres écrites par Louis de Montalte à un provincial de ses amis, & aux RR. PP. Jésuites: sur le sujet de la Morale, & de la Politique de ces Pères. Cologne, Pierre de La Vallée (D. Elsevier), 1657. In-16, blond calf, double gilt fillet, coats of arms in the center of the boards, 4-nerved spine decorated with a repeated fleur-de-lys (Period binding). Brunet, IV-395 / Maire, II-171 / Olivier, 335 / Tchemerzine-Scheler, IV-69 /// (12f.)-396-108. Reprint, at the same date, of the Elzévirienne edition of 1657, recognized by the mention of religieux mandians instead of moines mendians, as well as by a slight difference in collation. This second in-12 edition includes a number of variants and corrections, as well as the definitive text as adopted in all subsequent editions. A copy bearing the coat of arms of François Dugué, a Lyon bibliophile who was intendant of justice, police and finance in the 17th century. His son, also named François, used the same irons; he was President of the Chambre des Comptes de Paris and died in 1688. The binding has undergone extensive restoration, and we believe that the arms were added later. Heads, spines and corners restored, spines rubbed, worm gallery in the lower margin of the first 25 leaves. Attached: PASCAL. Les Provinciales... Amsterdam, J. Fr. Bernard, 1735. 3 volumes in-12, brown calf, 5-nerved spine (period binding). Maire, II-1ère partie, 244 /// I. (8f.)-404 / II. (6f.)-376 / III. (6f. of which one blank)-372.
