Small worm hole in lower margin. A fine copy of this rare collection of plays by the poet and playwright Isaac Du Ryer (1568-1634). In 1593, he entered the service of the slightly older Grand Écuyer Roger de Bellegarde as his secretary. The Grand Écuyer loved poetry, and Isaac was happy to satisfy this taste in him, but in September 1600, Roger de Bellegarde abruptly dismissed him. Du Ryer, who up to that point had led a life of fine dining and debauchery, was at a loss as to where to turn. In 1603, he married, and two years later had a son, Pierre Du Ryer, who would inherit his father's poetic vein. Between 1604 and 1606, he joined the Aydes department, and was assigned to the Paris gates department before becoming a clerk at the Port Saint-Paul office on the Seine. In 1608, he became secretary to the King's Chamber.
