Description

(1552). PARADIN (Guillaume). CRONIQUE DE SAVOYE. Lyon, Jean de Tournes and Guill. Gazeau, 1552. In-4° of [36]-394-[2] pages, brown calf, boards decorated with gilt fleurons, cold framing (period binding). RARE FIRST EDITION; "one of the most beautiful productions of the Tournésian presses" (Cartier). In addition to its typographical beauty, Paradin's account is not without merit, "not that we should place much confidence in it, but there is a charm and real interest in the bonhomie of the narration and style". It is also in this work that Paradin mentions 2 inventions from Germany: one pernicious and damnable, the art of making fire artillery, and the other, printing, "a profitable and happy discovery and its way of mollifying scripts and books, and by its excellence and nobility is nothing other than sweet peace, perfect love and entire pleasure". Copy complete with fold-out table of the Tree of Consanguinity of the House of Savoy. Some foxing, binding faded with small tears. From the Caroli Zeerleder library with bookplate. (Mortimer, 413) (Cartier, 226).
