[ANDRÉA de NERCIAT]. Le Doctorat in-promptu. [Paris] 1788. ln-12 of III and 120 pages, spotted tan calf, gilt roulette on the boards, smooth spine decorated, tiny worm holes (old binding). Illustrated with 2 engravings. "Very rare first edition", Lemonnyer 11-26. "If any erotic writer deserves to be called a classic, like him, only a few have understood how to master eroticism through wit, style, brilliant inventiveness, psychological appreciation of characters and witty dialogue. His delicious irony makes readers laugh at the great and eternal weaknesses of the human tragic comedy. He is a grotesque erotic artist like Rowlandson in his cartoons. Nerciat's erotic novels are a document that makes the revolution understandable. The little novella "Le Doctorat im-promptu.." is very sumptuous, refined and witty. A young girl, who is going to see her future husband, tells her friend, with whom she was tribadically linked, about a very strange adventure she had carried out during the trip that before the wedding "earned her an unexpected doctorate"." R.P. 176, Bibliothèque Gérard Nordmann, dec. 21, Dutel A-293. - Bound with L'Arétin Français, by a member of the Académie des dames, followed by Les Épices de Vénus, ou pièces diverses du même académicien. London, 1793. In-12 of 22 leaves, 56 pages. Illustrated with 19 engravings, one of which is a frontispiece. Cohen 749, Cioranesco 48166 and Dutel A-103.
