Graesse II, 60. Erste französische Ausgabe. - "In 1821 the great German publishing firm of Brockhaus in Leipzig was approached by a nephew of Casanova, following the latteris death in 1798, with an offer of the manuscript text of the Memoirs. The transaction was concluded after Brockhaus had examined the text and had obtained the advice of a number of scholars attesting to its exceptional interest and value. The first edition of the Memoirs was published in German in Leipzig by Brockhaus, between the years 1822 and 1828, in twelve volumes. A pirated edition was published by Tournachon-Melin, in Paris, 1825-1829, in fourteen volumes. Strictly speaking, it is the first French edition. The second Brockhaus edition, edited by Jean Laforgue (1782-1852) in French, was published in Leipzig and Brussels in the years 1826-1838, in twelve volumes. It is the most complete edition and is the one on which most reprints have been based. The first French edition, the pirated one of Tournachon-Melin, is curiously enough a French translation, from the Schutz German translation, of the original French text of Casanova, after numerous excisions by Schutz. It is probably the least interesting of all editions of Casanova as it is the most bowdlerized. Yet it was the first to be made available in French to the French public, and its success was such that Brockhaus himself determined to issue a French edition..."(Childs, Casanoviana). - Etw. gebräunt, tls. stärker stockfl., einige kl., unbedeutende Randeinrisse. Bde. 4-5, sowie 7 u. 9 tls. mit leichtem Wasserrand. St.a.Vortit.
