Born around 1550 in Blois, Clovis Hesteau, seigneur de Nuysement, is a poet about whom little is known. The address to the reader tells us that he was a pupil of Jean Dorat, of whom we find several pieces in Latin and French at the head of his work, and that he did not disdain to imitate his predecessors and contemporaries, in particular Pétrarque and Ronsard. He died at an unknown date, at any rate after 1620 according to Viollet-Le-Duc, and also composed several works of esoteric poetry. The first book of his Œuvres poétiques contains long Gemissemens de la France addressed to the King, a long lament about the troubles of the Wars of Religion and fratricidal strife. The second part of the work consists of pieces dedicated to love (sonnets, odes and stanzas). A third book brings together various poems. Epidermized binding, lacking upper headpiece, head of upper jaw split. Marginal stain on 3 leaves.
