Reliure de l'époque. Etui.178 x 90 mm. --- « The dedication copy for the Comte de Clermont, one of the most eccentric personages of the Ancien Regime: destined at the age of nine for the church and endowed with enormously rich benefices, he took up a military career without renouncing these, became nominal commander-in-chief of the French armies, but was relieved of his command after a disastrous campaign against the Prussians in 1758. He had literary ambitions, maintained a kind of salon and engineered his election to the Académie which gave rise to much ridicule. In 1744 he was made Grand Master of the French Free Masons, but soon abandoned this dignity to his dancing master Lacorne (Dict. de Biogr. franç.). He amassed a not inconsiderable library (sold by Prault in 1771) employing no less than five different versions of his arms on his bindings ; that on the above binding is reproduced by Olivier, Hermal (pl. 2633, No. 2) from it. - The British Union Catalogue of Early Music identifies the author with Jean-Jacques Naudot, a flute virtuoso who published several compositions for that instrument, although Eitner (VII, 151) doubts their identity. The Hirsch copy (III, 952) also with Clermont's arms, lacks the last 8pp. of part II. - A delightful volume."
