BONNEFONS (Jean). Pancharis. - [DURANT (Gilles, sieur de La Bergerie)].

Imitations du latin de Jean de Bonnefons: avec autres gayetez amoureuses de l'invention de l'autheur. Paris, Abel L'Angelier, 1587. 2 parts in one volume in-12, granite calf, spine decorated, red speckled edges (17th century binding). First edition of the Pancharis and Imitations, inseparable works by two poets and friends from Auvergne, natives of Clermont-Ferrand: Jean Bonnefons (1554-1614), lieutenant at the baillage of Bar-sur-Seine, and Gilles Durant, sieur de La Bergerie (c. 1550-c. 1615), a lawyer who had a brilliant career at the Parlement de Paris. La Pancharis is a collection of love poems imitating Jean Second's Baisers and dedicated to an imaginary or idealized "Pancharis" (Greek for "all gracious"). Gilles Durant made a French adaptation, under the title Imitations. The two 1587 editions are usually bound together, as is the case here. Bound afterwards: DU PEYRAT (Guillaume). Spicilegia poetica et Amorum libri III. Paris, Jeremie Périer, 1601. Unique edition of this collection of Latin poems by Guillaume du Peyrat (1563-1643), a Lyonnais poet appointed chaplain to King Henri IV at the turn of the century. This collection illustrates the culture and tastes of the grande robe; in addition to pieces paying homage to the principal members of parliament and the sovereign courts, it includes a collection of epigrams and three books of love poems, mainly inspired by Catullus and often quite free. Engraved armorial bookplate B. H. de Fourcy. In the Spicilegia, a few leaves bear handwritten corrections in ink and the paper is foxed. Missing headpieces and splits at spine ends. J. P. Barbier-Mueller, IV-2 n°25 (Imitations), IV-1 n°46-47 (Pancharis), and IV-5 n°21 (Spicilegia). - Balsamo & Simonin, n°169 and 171. - Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire..., n°92 (Bonnefont), n°305 (Du Peyrat), and n°312 (Durant).
