About This Item
[?Paris] Imprimé Au Mont Parnasse. 1697. 2 volumes. 12mo, 145 x 87 mms., pp. [4] 5 - 358 [359 - 369 Index, 370 blank]; [4] 5 - 330 [331 - 336 Index], with frontispiece in each volume including in pagination, bound by Charles De Samblanc and dated 1922 in fine red goatskin, with two borders in blind on each cover, oval gilt ornament in centre of each board, spine ornately gilt in compartments, all edges gilt. A fine set, though I think the text has probably been washed. The first printing of this collection of erotic and satiric verse that I have located is dated 1613 [1623], it was republished several times in the 17th and 18th centuries and well into the 19th century. The main author was Nicolas Vauquelin, seigneur des Yveteaux (1567 - 1649), and a large number of authors made contributions. The Larousse Dictionnair Mondiale des Litteratures asserts, " Les libertins virent un de leurs maîtres en cet épicurien sceptique et dilettante. Ses poésies furent publiées anonymement en 1606 : l'amour y est peint comme une passion exigeante et douloureuse, la vie comme une parade et un combat." This is the copy that was in the de Backer sale in 1926. Brunet I, 1446; Tchermezine III, 192, citing the sale of this copy.
