CUREAU DE LA CHAMBRE, Marin (ca.1595-1669). Nouvelles Observations et Coniectures sur l'Iris . Paris: [Jacques Langlois] for Pierre Rocolet, 1690 4° (244 x 175mm). Engraved emblematic title vignette and 24 schematic illustrations in the text, woodcut head- and tailpieces, (paper pasted in lower margin of Gg1 v over earlier ownership inscription). CONTEMPORARY CRIMSON MOROCCO GILT BOUND IN THE ATELIER OF PIERRE ROCOLET, PROBABLY BY ANTOINE PADELOUP, covers with a border formed by a dog's tooth roll, gilt fillets and an arabesque roll enclosing an outer compartment filled with pointillé tools and dots, central panel outlined with straight and curved double fillets, in the corners semés of small fleurs-de-lys headed by a large fleurs-de-lys, centre-piece composed of pointillé tools with a quatrefoil nucleus with fleurs-de-lys in the four corners, spine with five raised bands, the large fleurs-de-lys in compartments within a double fillet and pointillé border, marbled endpapers, g.e., in lined cloth case. Provenance : Jo. Contardus, Mutina (i.e.Modena); Capuchin Library, Modena; 17th and 18th-century inscriptions on title. FIRST EDITION of this treatise on the eye and colour vision. The author was physician to Louis XIII and XIV, and the book is dedicated to the latter. He was a prolific author, mainly of physiological works, of which a number were published by Rocolet and subsequently bound in his atelier mostly for presentation, several to Anne d'Autriche, Cardinal Mazarin, Chancellor Seguier and at least one to Louis XIV. A list of 12 books known to have been bound for Cureau, is in the Esmerian Catalogue (part II, supplement appendix V), however this title does not appear. Cureau may have had this copy bound for his own use and it may subsequently have been lost. Rocolet's atelier was probably the most fashionable in Paris between 1640 and 1660, and it is generally believed that it was headed by Antoine Padeloup. Esmerian states that out of about 80 books he discovered which were bound by this workshop, 25 were published by Rocolet.
