CHARAVAY (Étienne). Review of Historical Documents. - Lot 60

CHARAVAY (Étienne). Review of Historical Documents. A collection of curious and unpublished documents, published with notes and commentary. Paris, Charavay Frères—C. Motteroz, printer, 1880–1881. 2 volumes bound together in 1 in-8 volume, publisher’s brown half-cloth, speckled paper covers. This volume combines the seventh and eighth years of this important scholarly publication founded by Étienne Charavay, an archivist and paleographer who was a leading figure in the 19th-century market for autographs and historical manuscripts. The *Revue des documents historiques* brings together a large number of unpublished documents—letters, deeds, diplomatic correspondence, ecclesiastical documents, and administrative records—accompanied by explanatory notes and critical commentary. The issues from these years offer a remarkable overview of French and European history through original texts that are often difficult to access, covering topics ranging from the Ancien Régime to the Revolution, religious history, and major political figures. Notably included are princely correspondence, documents relating to the House of Savoy, the French episcopate, and various prominent figures from the 17th to the 19th centuries. A copy bound in the publisher’s original brown half-cloth, retaining its full documentary value and appeal for researchers, historians, and collectors of ancient manuscripts. Condition A fine copy. The binding is sturdy and uniform. Some minor wear from use. The paper is slightly yellowed, as is often the case. The interior is sound and complete.
