3. [ARNAULD (Antoine) & NICOLE (Pierre). La Logique ou L'Art de penser ; contenant, outre les règles communes, plusieurs observations nouvelles, propres à former le jugement. Paris, Charles Savreux, 1662. In-12 of 473, [7] pp. (including privilege and errata). Tan calf, spine ribbed and decorated, a shield blazoned with a gilt fleur-de-lis occupies the center of the boards. Gilt numeral K in D stamped in the caissons (contemporary or slightly later binding). Rare first edition of the Logique de Port-Royal, one of the major works of Jansenism, conceived at Port-Royal by Antoine Arnauld and Pierre Nicole. The work constitutes a sort of abridged Logic, the ABC of Jansenist thought and offers a synthesis of the main philosophical currents of the time. The privilege of this first edition is granted to a certain Monsieur Le Bon, a name under which the authors hid to avoid prosecution. A sought-after edition. (Brunet III, 1145; Cioranescu 17e, 51257.) Repairs on head and corners. Upper spine split. A wormhole (pinhead) in the lower margin becomes a small comma gallery in the lower margin of the last 18 leaves.
