MENESTRIER (Claude-François). HISTOIRE CIVILE ET CONSULAIRE DE LA VILLE DE LYON... with a map of the city about two centuries ago. Lyon, J.B. and Nicolas de Ville, 1696. In folio of [32]-42-548-64-136-[8] pages, brown calf, spine decorated (period binding). The Histoire civile ou consulaire de la ville de Lyon presents the first critical history of Lyon where everything is reconsidered from the material remains: ruins, inscriptions and coins whose images are integrated in the text, as well as the handwritten documents (registers, contracts, memoirs, privileges) transcribed in an appendix called the Preuves de l'histoire. (Expo. BM de Lyon, un jésuite lyonnais, Ménestrier. 2005). The illustration includes a very large folded map of Lyon, 6 plates (4 folded) including the famous plate of the clock which is often missing and numerous engravings and woodcuts in the text. Very numerous handwritten scholies of the time, as well as some interesting handwritten leaves placed in fine. Ex libris armorié De Bussières.
