ERASMUS, Desiderius (1466?-1536). L'Eloge de la Folie... traduit par M. Gueudeville, Neuchatel: Samuel Fauche, 1777. 8° (188 x 116mm). Engraved frontispiece and portrait of the author, engraved plates, 6 folding (short neat marginal tear repaired, endleaves slightly browned, very occasional spotting). Late 19th-century green straight grained morocco by de Samblanx and Weckesser (binder's stamp on front free endpaper), gilt design of Jester's stick in four corners of boards and on spine, gilt turn-ins and edges, marbled endpapers. Provenance: Alfred de Curzon (bookplate). FINE BINDING. De Samblanx (1855-1943) and Weckesser (1860-1923) were both pupils of Josse Schavye, the greatest Belgian binder of the 19th-century. They worked together between 1883 and 1909, and from 1889 their bindings were jointly signed. However, Weckesser was generally responsible for the design and forwarding.
