Antoine-Léonard de Chézy

The sale catalogue compiled on the death of A.-L. de Chézy, preceded by a Notice sur la vie et les ouvrages de M. de Chézy rédigée par sa veuve, lists a continuous succession of 1467 descriptions, divided into printed books (Nos. 1-1279) and manuscripts (Nos. 1280-1440) that are followed by a further section regarding the printed books not included in the previous ones (Nos. 1441-1467). The printed books are divided into five classes in the traditional scheme of the Parisian booksellers: Théologie (Nos. 1-75 b), Jurisprudence (Nos. 76-102), Sciences et arts (Nos. 103-330), Belles lettres (Nos. 331-854), Histoire (Nos. 855-1271), further divided into sub-classes. The index of the names is missing along with a summarizing table of the classification scheme.
