First edition of this treatise on education and discipline written by a perfect representative of the cultured man of his time. Born in Bourg-en-Bresse in 1504 or 1505 (died 1579), Antoine Du Saix was tutor and chaplain to the Duke of Savoy, then appointed canon of the Bourg church in 1541. A churchman, diplomat and scholar, he made friends with the distinguished minds of his time, and also dabbled in poetry. Lesperon de discipline is his most important work. Containing more than ten thousand verses, it is a kind of encyclopedic treatise and a complete system of education which to point out everything that can promote the growth of beautiful children (Bechtel). It covers a wide range of subjects, beginning with the benefits of theology, respect for the law, love of literature... but also instruction for fathers on how to procreate, nourish and properly institute their children, and how to breastfeed women, que les enfants ne soient trop delicatemēt nourriz ny sumptueusement vestuz, qu'ils ne doivent boire vin, que la correction des enfants doist plus par dousceur estre temperee que executee par rigueur, si on doist enseigner enfants aux maisons privees ou les envoyer aux escolles publicqs... In short, a treatise on education that is still relevant today. Each part contains a title in red and black with the Savoy shield. All text pages are framed in rectangular woodcuts with variants, sometimes bearing the author's name. These frames, in the taste of Geoffroy Tory, sometimes also bear the name of Girardières, a noble family from Bresse, which may be the engraver's name, as suggested by Rothschild's notice. A fine copy in its original binding. Binding previously restored, small loss to one nerve, corners worn. Marginal stains to 2 leaves and wetness in the lower margin of 9 leaves.
