DANFRIE, Philippe (1531-ca.1606). Declaration de l'usage du Graphometre. -Traicte de l'usage du Trigometre. Paris: P. Danfrie, 1597.
8° in half-sheets (188 x 123mm). Printed with Danfrie's second and fourth civilité types, 14 copper-engravings, 11 full-page, from 12 plates, four woodcut illustrations (2 full-page). Early 20th-century siena morocco janseniste by A. Barbier, gilt edges (very light wear to spine). Provenance: C.E. Kenney (booklabel).
FIRST EDITION, and one of only two books printed with these civilité types. An instrument maker, fine metal worker, and engraver (including of bookbinding tools), Danfrie was appointed "graveur général des monnaies de France" in 1582. He was the second person to create a civilité fount, following Robert Granjon in Lyons, but his fount had another French hand as a model and did not merely copy Granjon's type. Danfrie's early civilité types were used in books printed by Danfrie and Richard Breton or by Breton alone. The civilité types used to the print the present work are Danfrie's second (a bold heading type) and fourth (a text type); they "represent the native French handwriting at a stage of development later" than his and Granjon's types produced at mid-century. Danfrie himself was the author of this work describing an instrument he invented for measuring angles. The privilege leaf (R4r) is in its second state, with lines 6, 9 and 10 ending "toutes", "pareil", and "sans que". Mortimer Harvard Italian 163; Carter and Vervliet, Civilité types, 280.
