Description
[COYER, Gabriel-François] and [PALISSOT DE MONTENOY, Charles]. Discourse on the Satire against the Philosophers… [with] The Philosophers. Athens [Paris], published by the Anti-Philosopher Bookseller, 1760. In-12 (17 x 9.5 cm), contemporary granite-brown calfskin, gilt fillet on the covers, ribbed spine decorated with fillets. 91-(3)-91 pp. Stains on the upper cover. Interior slightly yellowed. First edition of the ‘Discourse on the Satire against the Philosophers’, a pamphlet published in 1760 by the Abbé Gabriel-François Coyer. Bound together with it is Palissot’s play: ‘Les Philosophes’ (without a title page). In 1760, the play “Les Philosophes” was staged, a scathing comedy (attributed to Charles Palissot de Montenoy) which attacked the leading figures of the Enlightenment. Against this backdrop, Abbé Gabriel-François Coyer published his “Discourse on the Satire against the Philosophers” in the same year, a text that took part in the bitter ideological disputes between the philosophers and their detractors of the time.
