in-4 oblong, [176 x 235 mm] de (2), 170 [i. e. 150], (8) pp. Maroquin noir, encadrements de filets dorés avec fleuron aux angles sur les plats, dos à nerfs orné, tranches dorées. (Reliure de l'époque.). Magnifique manuscrit, oeuvre d'un calligraphe professionnel. C'est un recueil d'airs de musique illustré d'innombrables dessins à la plume. Parmi tous les compositeurs, Jean-Philippe Rameau, alors au sommet de sa gloire, y figure en première place par le nombre d'extraits de musique que l'on y trouve : les Indes Galantes, Dardanus, Hippolyte et d'Aricie, Zaïs, Pygmalion . Ces deux derniers opéras avaient été joués pour la première fois l'année précédente. Et aussi l'Amadis de Lully, des airs de vaudevilles, des chansons à boire, les cantates de la Musette et de Medée, de Clerambault, et des airs de musiciens moins connus aujourd'hui comme Bertin, Mouret, Rochard, de La Garde, de Monteclair. Il n'y a pas d'ordre apparent dans la suite des airs contenus dans ce recueil, ce sont des "airs choisis" comme il est inscrit sur la pièce de titre de la reliure. On trouve au recto et au verso du premier feuillet les armes du commanditaire de cet ouvrage : Girard de Vannes. Il s'agit de Pierre-Jacques Girard de Vannes (1705-1767) lieutenant des maréchaux de France pour le Nivernais, puis conseiller à la Chambre des Comptes et grand-Bailli d'épée du Nivernais. (Armorial du Nivernais, tome II, planche XVII). La belle reliure en maroquin, aux gardes de papier étoilé peut-être attribué à Derome. La date de Mai 1749 figure à la fin, avant une table alphabétique. La pagination passe par erreur de 59 à 80 sans manque. Charnière frottée. Très bel exemplaire de ce manuscrit étonnant par le raffinement de ses dessins. in-4 oblong, [176 x 235 mm] de (2), 170 [i. e. 150], (8) pp. Maroquin noir, encadrements de filets dorés avec fleuron aux angles sur les plats, dos à nerfs orné, tranches dorées. (Reliure de l'époque.) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A splendid manuscript, the work of a professional calligrapher. It is a collection of musical arias illustrated with countless pen-and-ink drawings. Of all the music composers, Jean-Philippe Rameau, then at the height of his fame, is at the top of the list in terms of the number of musical excerpts included: Les Indes Galantes, Dardanus, Hippolyte et d'Aricie, Zaïs, Pygmalion. These last two operas had been performed for the first time the previous year. And also Lully's Amadis, vaudeville arias, chansons à boire, Clerambault's cantatas de la Musette et de Medée, and arias by lesser-known musicians such as Bertin, Mouret, Rochard, de La Garde, de Monteclair. There is no apparent order to the arias contained in this collection; they are "airs choisis" (chosen arias), as inscribed on the title-piece of the binding. On the front and back of the first leaf are the arms of the book's patron: Girard de Vannes. This was Pierre-Jacques Girard de Vannes (1705-1767), lieutenant of the marshals of France for the Nivernais region, then counselor to the Chambre des Comptes and Grand-Bailli d'épée du Nivernais. (Armorial du Nivernais, tome II, plate XVII). The fine morocco binding, with starred paper endpapers, may be attributed to Derome. The date 'May 1749' appears at the end, before an alphabetical table. The pagination erroneously skips from 59 to 80, with no gaps. A very fine copy of this surprisingly refined manuscript. . -.…
