MURET (Marc-Antoine).

Juvenilia. Paris, Veuve Maurice de La Porte, 1553. In-8, black morocco, boards framed by a gilded fillet and decorated with a diamond-rectangle mosaic of fawn morocco, gilded numeral in the center, spine decorated with the same repeated numeral, chocolate moire lining and endpapers, smooth edges, case (Honegger). First edition of Juvenilia by Marc-Antoine Muret (1526-1585), an early collection including the tragedy Julius Caesar, 10 elegies, 2 satires, 107 epigrams, 3 epistles and 6 odes. It appeared in 1552-1553. Second state copy, dated 1553 (see Virginie Leroux's critical edition of the text, Droz, 2009, pp. 26-27 and p. 494). The humanist Marc-Antoine Muret counted among his pupils the young Michel de Montaigne, Remy Belleau, Jodelle and others. A friend of Paul Manutius, he was secretary to Hippolytus II d'Este and professor of moral philosophy at the University of Rome. It was during a stay in Paris from 1551 to 1553, where he forged deep friendships with Ronsard, Du Bellay, Dorat and their friends, that he wrote this work. A precious copy bearing the poet's handwritten ex-dono on the title page: Sexto Cal. Decemb. anno 1552 dabat Muretus Vivenotio. It belonged to Pierre Louÿs (autograph note in pencil on a flyleaf of the old binding), then was acquired by Jean Paul Barbier-Mueller, who had it bound in his cipher. J. P. Barbier-Mueller, IV-4, n°30. - Oberlé, Poètes néo-latins, n°164. - Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire..., n°551.
