PASQUIER (Étienne).

Le Monophile. Paris, [Benoît Prévost pour] Charles L'Angelier, 1555. In-8, caramel morocco, triple gilt fillet, ornate spine, interior lace, gilt edges (Thibaron-Joly). Second edition of this dialogue on love between three young men and a maiden, interspersed with verse, dealing mainly with marriage and fidelity. As rare as the first, published a year earlier, it was shared between several publishers, including Charles L'Angelier. This is the first book by Étienne Pasquier (1529-1615), a humanist, poet and magistrate best known for his work Les Recherches de la France. It contains this assessment of French poetry (p. 120): Voyez je vous suply un Pétrarque, un Sannasar, un Bérule: & pour ne m'éloigner de mon temps, ni de mon pays, un Ronsart, un Bellay, un Tiart (...) se sont rendu si parfaitz, qu'il semble que la poésie, qui naguère faisait résidence en Italie, se serait voulu transporter en ceste contrée, pour y faire éternelle demeure. From the Grandsire and Michel de Bry libraries (1966, no. 154). Fine paper restoration at the corner or in the margin of a few leaves. Upper spine skilfully restored to the height of three boxes. J. P. Barbier-Mueller, IV-4, n°43. - Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire..., n°585.
