RGIS, Pierre Sylvain (1632-1707). Systme de philosophie, contenant la logique, la mtaphysique, la physique, et la morale. Paris: Denys Thierry for Anisson, Posuel & Rigaud at Lyons, 1690.
3 volumes, 4o (253 x 183 mm). Titles printed in red and black, engraved frontispiece-portrait by and after S. Thomassin, dedication with engraved head-piece by P. Giffart and engraved initial, woodcut head- and tailpieces and initials, numerous engraved and woodcut text diagrams and illustrations including one repeated engraved diagram of vortices and several engraved and woodcut anatomical illustrations, engraved fold-out map in Vol. II showing wind patterns over the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Errata leaves at end of vols. II and III. (Occasional browning in vols. II and III). Contemporary gold-tooled red morocco, sides panelled with central arms of Louis Boucherat (Oliver 1262, this fer not listed), spines richly tooled in six compartments, two gilt lettered, the title on separate morocco label, volume numbers directly onto the spine, g.e. (volume III awkwardly recased, minor rubbing to extremities). Provenance: Louis Boucherat, comte de Compans (1616-1699), chancelier de France from 1685; Abb J.-A. Grard (19th-century typographic booklabels).
FIRST EDITION of Rgis' encyclopaedic exposition of Cartesian philosophy. A native of Languedoc, Rgis was introduced to Cartesianism during his studies at the Sorbonne by Jacques Rohault (1620-1675), the leading advocate of Descartes' natural philosophy among the first generation of French Cartesians. After several months of instruction, Rgis was sent by Rohault to spread the doctrine in Toulouse, which he did with resounding success, moving on later to Aigues-Mortes and then to Montpellier, and returning to Paris in 1680, where his excessive popularity attracted too much attention, and he was forbidden to lecture by the archbishop of Paris. Rgis devoted his remaining years to refuting anti-Cartesian objections and writing this, his master work. A large section is devoted to optics.
