Énigmes et découvertes bibliographiques
Résumé
"Énigmes et découvertes bibliographiques" by P. L. Jacob is a bibliographic treatise likely written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the intricacies of book collecting, authorship, and literary history, focusing on the significance of rare texts and engaging with debates surrounding their attribution. It intertwines discussions of notable literary figures with the personal reflections of the author, likely intended for bibliophiles and scholars. The opening of the text introduces the reader to themes of bibliophilia and the author's relationship with a friend who has recently disbanded his impressive book collection, reflecting on the enduring nature of one's passion for literature. Jacob emphasizes the transformation of tastes among collectors, especially when considering historical manuscripts and editions. He presents an analysis of a literary enigma associated with the "Quinze Joies de mariage," providing hints on its authorship and diving into interpretations that highlight the complexity of bibliographic studies, particularly in connecting authors and their works over time.
