COCHIN SAINT AUBIN First edition of this magnificent work on the exceptional collection of ancient cameos by the Duke of Orléans, Louis-Philippe (1725-1785), written by two famous antiquarians, Abbé Géraud de La Chau, librarian and curator of the Cabinet des pierres gravées of the Duke of Orléans, and Abbé Gaspard Michel, known as Le Blond, sub-librarian of the Collège Mazarin. The collection was started by Pierre-Paul Rubens. It was preserved by Louis-Philippe d'Orléans (1747-1793), the future Philippe-Égalité, who later sold it to Catherine II of Russia. The members of the House of Orleans were, for the most part, avid collectors. Gaston of Orléans (1608-1660), the brother of Louis XIII, acquired a large part of the gems collected by the painter Pierre-Paul Rubens. His collection was bequeathed to Louis XIV in 1661. It is now in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris. After the death of his mother Elizabeth Charlotte, Princess Palatine, the Regent, Philip II of Orleans, came into possession of her famous dactyliothèque. His son, Duke Louis of Orléans (1703-1752), did not want it to be dispersed, so he bought it and, in 1741, included it in Pierre Crozat's collection and gave it, along with his collection of gold coins, to the monks of Saint-Geneviève Abbey, close to where he retired. On the death of his father, the Duke of Orléans Louis-Philippe (1725-1785), bought the gems from the abbey of Sainte-Geneviève where they were kept and brought them to the Palais-Royal. The collection declined somewhat, but he did, however, publish this magnificent work of two volumes. His son, Louis Philippe II, known as Égalité (1747-1793), owned it for only two years. In 1787, after publishing a catalogue of sales (1786), he sold it through Melchior Grimm to the Russian empress Catherine II.
