From Royal Library to Bibliothèque Nationale – Destruction of Fine Bindings 102 [ROZET.] Conversation familière, entre un Homme de Lettres et un ancient Libraire, sur le projet de supprimer les Armoiries, et autres marques de propriété féodale, empreintes sur la reliûre de tous les Livres de la Bibliothèque Nationale. [n.p., n.d.] [1793]. £450 8vo, pp. 48; contemporary orange wrappers, with the armorial bookplate of H. PauYn to front paste-down, and stamp of the medical doctor Hennequin, Charleville to title page. First edition of this contemporary reaction to the decree of the 9th October 1793, which stated that all traces of Royal or feudal, ie noble provenance must be removed from printed books, manuscripts and bindings in the library. The royal emblem had already been removed from the outside of the library as had happened to many other public buildings in Paris, but removing traces of ownership from hundreds of thousands of books in the library posed a much bigger problem, and would have resulted in destruction on a massive scale. In this lively dialogue the Paris bookseller Rozet discusses the problem with an unnamed contemporary writer. They both condemn the lack of historical awareness, which aims to destroy historical evidence, and argue about the extent of this purge: will foreign royalty also be excised, or just the French nobility. The bookbinders Petit and Bradel had apparently put in a bid to remove royal arms from all the books in the Bibliothèque Nationale, and Rozet and his author friend calculate how many decades even with a work force of Wfty this operation would take. In the end the directorate relented and only the most obvious traces of royal provenance were removed, such as portraits etc. Martin and Walter 30363; KVK and OCLC report copies at Cornell, New York Public Library, British Library, and the Bibliothèque Nationale; see Bette W.
