M personal library has no shortage of issues of Memoirs of Casanova, entire editions or extracts from original texts or texts truncated or rewritten without that I am a compulsive buyer of everything that comes out or is released in the area. For the "serious", I stick to the published edition in the collection Mouthpieces Laffont. But, for fun and Casanova bibliophile, I also buy the editions for which I have a heart shot.
Thus j ' I acquired an edition of extracts from these memoirs (published Gibert Jeune, 1950). The justification of this numbered edition is as follows (have resumed in italics and capitals as in the book):
JUSTIFICATION OF DRAW
_________
This edition
MEMOIRS OF JACQUES CASANOVA de Seingalt
- Two Volumes -
(From 1734 to 1755. - 1755 to 1772, compiled by René Groos )
is illustrated by 32 Inserts, many in Text, landmarks and tail lamp
colors, drawn BRUNELLESCHIentièrement
on vellum Condat, its circulation was limited to three thousand copies
all numbered.
For the first hundred copies are added a series of black
Inserts and trials of two boards refused.
COPY N ° 2205
It is unfortunate that the illustrations have in their vast majority, a leaning towards the salaciousness (without it falling into the vulgarity or pornography). But we must recognize that the line and put the color of Brunelleschi are fraught with finesse and delicacy. So, there, one edition very pleasant.
