Description

Fine example of the title page from Nicolas Delamare's scarce set of 8 historical plans of Paris.

This example of the maps is the second appearance of the maps, which first appeared in the first edition, first volume of Nicolas Delamare's La Traité de la Police (Paris, 4 vols., 1705-38), considered to be the most influential legal treatise produced in early modern France. It was the first detailed history of law enforcement ever published, and details the development of the subject throughout the history of Paris.

In order to illustrate the size and nature of the city during different historical periods, Delamare painstakingly consulted a variety of published and archival sources in order to construct a series of eight maps that progressively depict the evolution of Paris from Roman times up to 1700. All considered, this map represents a fascinating glimpse into Medieval Paris, which is today long lost, save for the survival of a handful of Gothic buildings.
