Clouzot, 224 (“extr\u00eamement rare”) Hagen, 16. <\/i><\/p>\n
A very rare first edition of this early work by Charles Nodier.<\/p>\n
In his catalogue published in 1827, Nodier himself stated: \u00ab J’\u00e9tais propri\u00e9taire de l’\u00e9dition et je l’ai d\u00e9truite avec tant de soin, qu’il n’en reste certainement pas quatre exemplaires \u00bb.<\/p>\n
Charles Nodier (1780-1844), novelist, writer and academician, was one of the great promoters of the Romantic movement in France. From 1793 onwards, the young Nodier studied entomology and mineralogy with Justin Girod de Chanterans, and later joined the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d’entomologique de France, thanks to the help of his friend Jean-Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent.<\/p>\n
Charles Nodier was an enthusiast of this discipline, and it was not by chance that he devoted his first book (after a number of occasional pamphlets printed in Besan\u00e7on between 1791 and 1800) to entomology.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Avec son deuxi\u00e8me r\u00e9pertoire, la Bibliographie entomologique qu’il publie en 1801, Nodier affronte avec plus d’acuit\u00e9 le vertige des catalogues raisonn\u00e9s, car il lui faut r\u00e9soudre \u00e0 la fois le probl\u00e8me de la classification des insectes et celui de la classification des livres sur les insectes”. En divisant la table des mati\u00e8res en entomologie descriptive et entomologie philosophique, Nodier “donnait une orientation originale \u00e0 son ouvrage, montrant le passage progressif de la science \u00e0 l’art et \u00e0 la litt\u00e9rature. \u00bb (Didier Barri\u00e8re, Nodier, l’homme du livre)<\/p>\n
