Relié en plein maroquin brun janséniste à grain long, dos à nerfs, double filet doré sur les coupes, doublures de reps bordeaux ornées de nombreux filets dorés, gardes de reps bordeaux, tranches dorées, non rogné avec témoins, couvertures conservées. Reliure signée de Canape R. D. 243 x 155 mm. --- Édition originale de ce roman d'Ernest Renan, l'un des 25 exemplaires de tête sur Japon. Vicaire, Manuel de l'amateur, 1032 ; Bibliothèque de Backer, 2129 ; Carteret, II, 258. « L'Abbesse de Jouarre est la seule pièce de Renan au sujet de laquelle la question d'une représentation ait été sérieusement posée. Son histoire a donc l'intérêt d'une expérience. [?] Impossible d'éviter « la couleur locale » ; l'action est un épisode de la Révolution française : il faut bien jouer en costumes du temps et recréer autour des personnages le climat de la Terreur. De fait, même si la fable inventée par Renan n'est pas une histoire vraie, elle est une histoire vraisemblable. Renan insistait volontiers sur ce point qui distingue le quatrième drame des trois précédents. « Je ne connais, écrit-il un jour, aucun récit du temps de la Révolution qui présente la donnée même que j'ai essayé de mettre en action dans l'Abbesse de Jouarre. » Mais, « quant à l'état psychologique des prisons du temps de la Terreur, et au développement que prirent, dans ce milieu terrible, les intrigues amoureuses, je n'ai rien dit qui ne soit tout à fait conforme à l'histoire. Les textes sont innombrables? » Cette fable est l'aventure de Julie Constance de Saint-Florent, abbesse de Jouarre, religieuse sans la foi mais strictement fidèle à ses v?ux, aventure en deux époques. Quelques jours après la bataille de Fleurus, le 25 juin 1794, Julie est en prison dans l'ancien Collège du Plessis ; elle revient du Tribunal révolutionnaire ; l'exécution est p /// Paris, Calmann Lévy, 1886.8vo [243 x 155 mm] of (2) ll., vi pp. of foreword, (1) l., 110 pp., (1) l., (1) bl.l. Bound in full brown straight-grained morocco, spine ribbed, claret rep doublures decorated with gilt fillets, claret rep endleaves, gilt over untrimmed edges, wrappers preserved. Binding signed by Canape R. D. --- First edition of this novel by Ernest Renan, one of only 25 copies printed on Japanese vellum. Vicaire, Manuel de l'amateur, 1032; Bibliothèque de Backer, 2129; Carteret, II, 258.« L'Abbesse de Jouarre is the only play by Renan about which the question of representation was seriously posed. Therefore, its story has the interest of an experiment. [?] It is impossible to avoid the "local colour"; the action is an episode of the French Revolution: you surely have to act with contemporary costumes and recreate around the characters the climate of the Terror. Actually, even if the story invented by Renan is not a true story, it is a probable story. Renan willingly stressed the fact which distinguishes the fourth drama from the three previous ones. "I don't know, he wrote one day, any account in Revolution's time which presents the same subject that I tried to set in motion in l'Abesse de Jouarre." But, "as for the psychological state of the prisons in the time of Terror, and the development followed, in this terrible environment, the love affairs, I haven't told anything which is not entirely conform to history. Texts are innumerable?" This story is the adventure of Julie Constance de Saint-Florent, abbess from Jouarre, faithless nun but strictly faithful to her vows, story in two epochs. A few days after the Battle of Fleurus, on June 25th 1794, Julie is in prison in the former Collège du Plessis, she comes back from the Revolutionary Tribunal; the execution is for the following morning. The man who loves her and that she loves, the marquis d'Arcy, is in the same prison and will be, tomorrow in the same cart. The abbess' vows had sepa.…
