BROSSES (Ch.de): Traité de la formation méchanique des langu - Lot 149
BROSSES (Ch.de): Traité de la formation méchanique des langues et des principes physiques de l'éthymologie. Saillant, Vincent et Desaint, 1765. 2 vols. in-12 contemporary marbled calf, spine ribbed and decorated (corners worn). 9 plates hors texte. This is certainly the author's most important work, and the first major scientific work on the subject; prior to this, etymology and liguistics had not yet been really studied. Using his vast erudition, Charles de Brosses deduces all the phonetic consequences of a deep and systematic examination of the vocal organ, and its influence on language formation. A good copy.
