In-4, brown calf, mention Estiene in a medallion on the first cover and Despinay on the second, spine with 6 ornate bands ( 17th century binding), modern brown half-chagrin folder and slipcase. Bechtel, 158/C-443 // Brunet, II-188 // Fairfax Murray, 101 // Tchemerzine-Scheler, II-450 // USTC, 30904. (116f.) / A-S6, T-V4 / 42 long lines, gothic car / 179 x 264 mm. Rare first edition of the first six books of the Chronique de Philippe de Commines, seigneur d'Argenton. Born in 1445 into a family of high-ranking Burgundian civil servants, Philippe de Commines was an advisor to Charles the Bold, then became attached to Louis XI, became a minister and was employed by him in numerous political negotiations. After Louis XI's death in 1483, he was a member of the Council during the regency of Anne de Beaujeu, encouraged the intrigues of the Duc d'Orléans, was imprisoned in an iron cage in Loches for eight months, then served again under Charles VIII, but without regaining the power and influence he had under Louis XI. In his memoirs, Commines shows himself to be a first-rate historian. His judgments are impartial and his accounts faithful, but betrayals betrayals, even crimes, far from arousing his indignation, are reported by him coldly, without emphasis, envisaged as means of success and judged by their results alone and without any moral considerations (Larousse). Commines' memoirs contain eight books. The first six are published here for the first time. They are devoted to the confrontation between Louis XI and Charles of Burgundy, and end with the death of Louis XI. The edition is adorned with a handsome engraved title in architectural style with columns, putti, medallions... with on the verso the arms of France supported by two angels, initials in the text and the printer's mark on the last leaf. Glued to the center of the title is a rectangular piece of woodcut paper, probably intended to conceal a signature. Old restored binding, badly worn, title a little trimmed, restored at the top by paper glued to the spine. Stains on 3 leaves (ink) and a spot of rust on leaf V1. Provenance: Estiene Despinay (or d'Espinay), whose name appears on the binding and whom we have been unable to find.

Mainly recounting the facts of French history during the reign of Louis XI from 1461 to 1483, this chronicle is called scandalous because it mentions everything that King Louis XI did, and recites things that are not too much to his advantage. because it mentions everything King Louis XI did, and recites things that are not too much to his advantage. This scandaleuse appears in the 1611 edition, where the author is presented as a clerk of the Hostel de Ville de Paris. As for the author of this chronicle, the various editions present him as anonymous until Gilles Corrozet's publication of the Trésors des histoires de France in 1583, in which he attributed authorship of the text to Jean de Troye, an attribution repeated the following year by La Croix Du Maine in his Bibliothèque française. It wasn't until the end of the 19th century that the Chronique scandaleuse found its true author in the person of Jean de Roye, whose diary was published by Bernard de Mandrot in 1894-1896, which is none other than the chronicle we're talking about. Jean de Roye (1425-1495?) was a notary at the Châtelet de Paris, secretary to Duke Jean II de Bourbon and concierge at the Hôtel de Bourbon in Paris. This first edition of the Chronique scandaleuse provides the complete text we know from two manuscripts held at the BnF. The section from 1461 to 1479 is highly developed and seems to have been written from day to day, while the subsequent section, from 1479 to 1483, is more summary and seems to have been added in a single block. A fine copy with wide margins. The title bears an old handwritten annotation Old edition of the Chronique dite Scandaleuse du Roy Louis XI by Jean de Troyes Greffier de Lhostel de Ville de Paris. Old restorations, hinges and spine rubbed and missing. Small stains to title, browning to 2 leaves (C6, C7), a wormhole to 18 leaves (A7 to C8).
