‎The Works of William Congreve in Two Volumes. ‎

‎London Tonson in the Strand [i.e. The Hague: T. Johnson and H. Scheurleer, c. 1720-1753]. A Paris, chez Barrois le jeune, Quai des Augustins C1780 2 volumes in-8 (16 × 10 cm). Tome I : [1-14], 14-94 ; 113 ; 117, [3] pp. de catalogue ; 126 pp. Tome II : [1-11], 12-108 ; 224 pp. Titre général pour chaque volume imprimé en noir, l'adresse parisienne de Barrois le jeune ajoutée en rouge. Chaque oeuvre avec sa page de titre propre. Reliure de l'époque en plein veau marbré, dentelles dorées, dos richement ornés de fleurons dorés, pièces de titre en maroquin bordeaux « Works of Congre », tomaison dorée « Tom I » et « Tom II ». Gardes de papier marbré à la main. Quelques frottements avec de légers manques à la reliure, petite fente au mors du tome I. Intérieur frais et propre, sans marque notable. Tome I : The Old Batchelour (« London, Printed for T. Johnson, 1720 », marque de Johnson) ; The Double-Dealer (« London, Printed for the Company of Booksellers », sans date, marque de Johnson) ; The Way of the World (« Writen by Mr. Congreve », « London, Printed for the Company of Booksellers », sans date), suivi de trois pages de catalogue de T. Johnson, libraire à La Haye ; Love for Love (« London, Printed for H: Scheurleer F-Z, 1752 »). Tome II : The Mourning Bride (« London, Printed for H: Scheurleer, F-Z, 1752 ») suivi de The Judgment of Paris en pagination continue ; Semele, an Opera (« Printed in the Year 1752 ») et Poems upon Several Occasions (« By Congreeve », « Printed in the Year MDCCLIII »), en une seule séquence. Contrefaçon hollandaise de l'édition collective de Congreve donnée par Tonson, présentée ici dans une émission en deux volumes apparemment non répertoriée, à adresse parisienne postérieure. Thomas Johnson, libraire écossais établi à La Haye de 1712 à 1728, contrefit le théâtre anglais sous de fausses adresses londoniennes, laissant souvent paraître son nom et sa marque. Après sa mort, ses feuilles invendues furent remises en vente par Henri Scheurleer fils. Trois pièces de Johnson, vers 1720-1725, sont ici réunies à des impressions nouvelles de Scheurleer de 1752-1753 pour compléter l'ensemble. Le catalogue de Johnson, laissé à la fin de The Way of the World, se trouve désormais au milieu du tome I. L'ESTC signale The Way of the World de Johnson (T14891) comme également publié dans des « Works » de La Haye à fausse adresse de Tonson, 1752, dits « the fifth editton » et répartis en trois volumes. Les présents titres généraux ne portent aucune mention d'édition et divisent l'ensemble en deux tomes, les quatre comédies dans le premier, la tragédie, le masque, l'opéra et les poèmes dans le second. Ils présentent en outre des graphies de compositeur étranger (« Tragedie », « Judjement »). L'ESTC décrit l'émission en trois volumes (T231667), dont les titres généraux répartissent différemment les oeuvres : les trois comédies de Johnson au tome I, Love for Love, The Mourning Bride et The Judgment of Paris au tome II, Semele et les poèmes au tome III sous un titre particulier. Les présents titres généraux constituent une composition distincte, qui répartit les mêmes feuilles en deux volumes. Nous n'avons localisé aucun autre exemplaire de cette émission. L'exemplaire témoigne de la confection de ces titres. Le cahier G de The Mourning Bride ne compte que six feuillets, contre huit ailleurs, sans aucune trace de feuillets coupés. Le verso de G6 porte un net report du titre général du tome II. Les titres généraux furent donc vraisemblablement imprimés comme derniers feuillets de cette feuille et détachés avant la reliure. L'adresse parisienne en rouge fut ajoutée plus tard. Théophile Barrois le jeune, second fils du libraire parisien Marie-Jacques Barrois, n'exerçait pas encore en 1752. La maison Barrois devint la principale librairie parisienne de livres anglais et étrangers, et ces volumes semblent provenir d'un fonds hollandais remis en vente pour le marché français plusieurs décennies après l'impression. Passionnant recueil composite, témoin de la contrefaçon hollandaise du théâtre anglais et du commerce du livre anglais à Paris, dans une jolie reliure française de l'époque. ESTC T14891 (The Way of the World); ESTC N3074 (Love for Love).‎

‎2 volumes, 8vo (16 × 10 cm). Volume I: [1-14], 14-94; 113; 117, [3] pp. advertisements; 126 pp. Volume II: [1-11], 12-108; 224 pp. General title to each volume printed in black, with the Paris imprint of Barrois le jeune added in red. Each work with its own title page. Contemporary French full mottled calf, gilt dentelles, spines richly gilt with floral tools, burgundy lettering-pieces 'Works of Congre' and gilt volume numbers 'Tom I' and 'Tom II'. Handmade marbled endpapers. Some rubbing with slight loss to the binding, a little cracking to the hinge of volume I. Internally clean and tidy throughout with no significant marks. Volume I: The Old Batchelour ('London, Printed for T. Johnson, 1720', with Johnson's device); The Double-Dealer ('London, Printed for the Company of Booksellers', undated, with Johnson's device); The Way of the World ('Writen by Mr. Congreve', 'London, Printed for the Company of Booksellers', undated), with three pages of advertisements for T. Johnson, bookseller in the Hague; Love for Love ('London, Printed for H: Scheurleer F-Z, 1752'). Volume II: The Mourning Bride ('London, Printed for H: Scheurleer, F-Z, 1752') with The Judgment of Paris in continuous pagination; Semele, an Opera ('Printed in the Year 1752') and Poems upon Several Occasions ('By Congreeve', 'Printed in the Year MDCCLIII'), in one sequence. A Hague counterfeit of Tonson's collected Congreve, in an apparently unrecorded two-volume issue with a later Paris imprint. Thomas Johnson, a Scottish bookseller at The Hague from 1712 to 1728, pirated the English stage under false London imprints, his own name and device often in plain view. After his death his remaindered sheets were reissued by Henri Scheurleer the younger. Here three of Johnson's plays, of about 1720-1725, are combined with new Scheurleer printings of 1752-1753 to complete the collection. Johnson's advertisements, left in place at the end of The Way of the World, now sit in the middle of volume I. ESTC records Johnson's Way of the World (T14891) as also issued in a Hague 'Works' with a false Tonson imprint of 1752, styled 'the fifth editton' and arranged in three volumes. The present general titles carry no edition statement and divide the collection into two volumes, the four comedies in the first and the tragedy, masque, opera and poems in the second. They also show a foreign compositor's spellings ('Tragedie', 'Judjement'). The copy shows how these titles were produced. Gathering G of The Mourning Bride has six leaves, against eight elsewhere, with no sign of excision. The verso of G6 bears a clear offset of the volume II general title. The general titles were therefore evidently printed as the final leaves of that sheet and separated before binding. ESTC records the three-volume issue (T231667), with general titles dividing the works differently: the three Johnson comedies in volume I, Love for Love, The Mourning Bride and The Judgment of Paris in volume II, and Semele and the Poems in volume III under a separate title. The present general titles are a distinct setting, rearranging the same sheets into two volumes. We have traced no other copy of this issue. The red Paris imprint was added later. Théophile Barrois le jeune, second son of the Paris bookseller Marie-Jacques Barrois, was not trading in 1752. The Barrois firm became the leading Paris dealer in English and other foreign-language books, and this set appears to be Dutch stock reissued for the French market some decades after printing. A fascinating composite, documenting the Dutch piracy of the English stage and the trade in English books in Paris, in an attractive contemporary French binding.

‎Ludwig Senfl (c.1490?1543): A Catalogue Raisonn of the Works and Sources. Vol. 1: Catalogue of the Works‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, 682 pages, Size:180 x 240 mm, Illustrations:2 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503584201.‎

‎Summary Until now, scholars have had an inadequate picture of the scope and transmission of the oeuvre of Ludwig Senfl (c.1490-1543), one of the most important Renaissance composers of the German-speaking lands. The current publication presents an extraordinary and exceptionally comprehensive catalogue raisonn for this Renaissance composer. Volume 1 of the two-volume set forms the catalogue of works (including lost and misattributed compositions). It is organized according to genre and provides a thorough description of every composition. Each entry includes a musical incipit, comments on the musical structure, and comprehensive information concerning the transmission and the authenticity of the composition in addition to many other details. In its layout, structure, and critical approach to Senfl's music, this volume enables far-reaching research into the composer's style as well as a detailed characterisation of his oeuvre, and thus it provides clues towards a long-desired chronology of the composer's works. The Senfl Catalogue serves as an encyclopaedic research tool for further scholarly investigation: it not only presents a lively and coherent picture of Senfl's oeuvre, but also helps to explore the broader musical culture of his time. At the same time, the in-depth presentation and analysis of Senfl's music provides Early Music performers with new information on repertory that adds to the soundscape of the Renaissance.
