Il s’\u00e9tablit \u00e0 Paris dans les toutes derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es du XVIIIe s., \u00e0 une date ind\u00e9termin\u00e9e. Il est connu pour sa tr\u00e8s abondante production de reliures \u00e0 d\u00e9cor de bordures dans le style n\u00e9o-classique caract\u00e9ristique du Premier Empire. Il a abondamment travaill\u00e9 pour la Biblioth\u00e8que imp\u00e9riale, \u00e0 la sollicitation de Joseph Van Praet, pour relier notamment les collections d’incunables de la R\u00e9serve des Imprim\u00e9s. Il se retire des affaires en 1818-1819, avec pour successeur le relieur Motet, attest\u00e9 d\u00e8s 1819 \u00e0 l’adresse de la rue de la Sorbonne. Boz\u00e9rian signe presque toujours ses reliures, au bas du dos, sous les deux formes suivantes : ‘Rel. P. Bozerian jeune’, ‘Rel. Par Bozerian Jeune’; on trouve plus rarement les libell\u00e9s ‘Bozerian Le J.’ ou ‘Bozerian Jeune'” (Fabienne Le Bars, reliures.bnf).<\/p>\n Provenance : Maurice Lecomte (book plate).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 4 volumes large 18mo (147 x 95 mm) XXXVI, 148 pp., 4 engraved plates (including the frontispiece) for volume I ; pp. [149]-303, 2 engraved plates for volume II ; 148 pp., 2 engraved plates for volume III ; pp. [149]-358, 2 engraved plates for volume IV.
