GERVAIS (J.-A.): Opuscule on winemaking. Toulouse, Vieusseux - Lot 165
GERVAIS (J.-A.): Opuscule on winemaking. Toulouse, Vieusseux, 1821. In-8, paperback, period printed cover (spine faded, split, rare russet). Not trimmed. Rare first edition. The work presents a winemaking method attributed to Elisabeth Gervais (and which was moreover patented in her name), but which was in fact invented by Dom Nicolas Casbois (1728-1795, member of the Academy of Metz) in 1782. It goes without saying that the good Gervais makes no mention of this predecessor. Oberlé, 163. Simon, 19.
