MERY, Joseph. L'Arbitre des Jeux accompagné de petits poëmes historiques : contenant la marche, l'histoire, les règles, la législation et la bibliographie de tous les jeux anciens et suivi d'un aperçu sur le calcul des probabilités. Paris, Gabriel de Gonet, 1847.
Small 16mo (107 x 71mm), pp. [iv], 506; occasionally light foxing,original ribbed cloth, spine ruled and lettered in gilt; a crisp copy.
First edition, uncommon of this charming guide to all manner of games, similar to the various Academies des Jeux. It is a virtual dictionary of card games, games of chance and games of skill, and of great interest for its coverage of the Civil Code for laws on games and gambling, its fifteen-page bibliography based on the collection at the Bibliothèque Royale, its glossary of the terminology of gambling and its poems (on card games, chess and trictrac).
Joseph Mery (1797-1866) wrote a number of opera librettos, collaborated with Gerard de Nerval on Shakespeare adaptations and other plays, and is today best known as the co-librettist of the original version in French of Verdi's Don Carlos. He was an inveterate gambler, and traveled through Europe, because of restrictions on gambling in France. A lover of chess, he founded the first chess magazine Le Palamède in 1836, and ten years later published this collection of rules of games, accompanied by poems on the theme.
OCLC: a handful of copies in the Netherlands and France, no copies outside of Europe.

In the winter of 1950 Lodewijk Prins, backed by a committee presided over by Hendrik Jan Van Steenis, organized an international chess tournament that was held at the stock exchange in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Invitations went out to all the strongest chess masters of the day, whether they reside in Europe, the Soviet Union, or the Americas.
The Soviet Chess Federation declined the invitations sent to their masters (they would refrain from entering international competitions until late 1952), as did Lazslo Szabo. Nevertheless, the eventual line-up was still one of the finest selections to be found of the best, active Western chess masters of the day. The field was notable also for the healthy mix of both early century chess mastery and post-war talent emerging for the next… Leer más
