About This Item
London:: Printed, and sold by W. Feales, 1733., 1733. 16 cm. [xxii], [7]-144 pp. Decorative wood engravings at the beginning of each book. Later marbled wrappers; first few corners turned. Good +. Translated from: Callipaedia, seu, De pulchrae prolis habendae ratione. This copy contains the complete four ?books? or parts, of this poem. Also contains a life of the author by Bayle. This poetic work was originally written in Latin and satirized Mazarin; but on account of the latter's kindness, the satire was changed to eulogy in a second edition. / WorldCat shows this printing with 4 plates and two appendices, none present in this copy. There should be 162 pages, 4 leaves of plates. Thereby lacking are: Quillet's Epistle to Eudoxus (p. 145-153)--and his Elegy on the death of Gassendus (p. 155-162). / Claude Quillet [also known as Calvidius Laetus] (1602-1661), French physician, born in Touraine, is respectfully given the position of being 'one of the best modern Latin poets.? Biographie Universelle, XVI, pp. 148-149.
