Description
SOLLEYSEL, Jacques de. *Le Parfait Marechal*. Paris: Published by Didot, Nyon Fils, Damonneville, Savoye, 1754. In-4 (26 x 19 cm), marbled sheepskin, ribbed spine decorated with panels. Red edges. 2 ff. 512-(7) pp. – 406 pp. 1 f. unnumbered. (privileged edition) Scuffs; cap ends worn away. Interior yellowed, with scattered foxing. A new quarto edition published in Paris of this classic work on equine science, comprising two quarto volumes bound as one, opens with a beautiful intaglio-engraved frontispiece title page. Illustrated with a fold-out plate on diseases, a plate known as the ‘exterior plate’ and 25 figures (woodcuts), including 8 full-page plates and 17 within the text. In 1664, Jacques de Solleysel (1617–1680) published *Le Parfait Mareschal*, which he subsequently revised and corrected. This work, dealing chiefly with equine medicine and surgery, brought Solleysel such renown that, in recognition of his talent, Louis XIV appointed him Ordinary Squire of the King’s Great Stables from 1664.
