MAROT (Clément). [OEuvres]. Lyon, François Juste, [1536-] 1537. 5 parts in one vol. in-16, brown morocco, gilt fillet framing the boards, ribbed spine (later binding). BERTHON (Guillaume). Critical bibliography of the editions of Clément Marot (ca 521-1550). Droz, 2019: 1536/8 (p. 476), 1537/6 (pp. 489-490). Extremely rare collective edition. This is the first published by François Juste, illustrated with in-text woodcuts and in Roman type. A rare copy containing 5 parts. It is therefore more complete than the 7 copies listed by G. Berthon (pp. 489), containing 1 to 4 parts only. Berthon, pp. 490: "Except for the Voyages and the Recueil Jehan Marot, the description is based on the Lignerolles catalog, the only one to mention a copy of the other volumes in the series. Set probably designed to be sold with L'Adolescence published at the date of 1536." Missing 3 leaves. Binding handled, rubbed, restored. - Recueil des oeuvres Jehan Marot, illustre poète fraçoys contenant Rondeaux, épitres, vers éparses, chats royaux.

Lyon, François Juste, 1536]. 174 of 176 ff. Fifth edition. 46 figures. Berthon, 1536/8, p. 476: "Cette Adolescence a peut-être été publiée pour faire partie de l'ensemble Juste de 1537 ( 1537/6) comme le suggèrent le seul exemplaire recensé, l'identité de format, le fait que l'on ne connaît aucune Adolescence publiée par Juste à la date de 1537 et la présence de gravures comme dans les éditions de 1537 (à la différence des éditions antérieures)". Missing title page (A1), f. 8 (A8). Staining, wormholes in margins of first few leaves, small paper defect in gutter on first two leaves; later handwritten notes on ff. 32-33. Small tear on f. 158. f. 162-163 trimmed a little short. - La Suite de l'Adolescence Clémentine, reveue.

Third edition. - Le Premier livre de la Métamorphose d'Ovide translatée de latin en françoys par Clement Marot de Cahors en Quercy. Lyon, François Juste, 1537 (36) ff. 1 figure. Third edition. Slight wetness in upper corner, tiny worm gallery on last two leaves, angular paper loss on last endpaper. In the 16th century, François Juste and Denis Harsy dominated the Lyon market for complete marotic collections. François Juste first published an almost complete set in 1535, then in 1536 a reprint of L'Adolescence and La Métamorphose, and finally in 1537 a final series, like the copy presented today, "which innovates in relation to Juste's typographical habits, since it is printed entirely in Roman type and illustrated with a few woodcuts. "(Berthon, p. 192).
