Small in-8, red morocco with floral medallion in small irons on the boards, spine with 5 ornate nerves, duck-blue morocco lining decorated with a floral garland with roses in frames, double endpapers, edges gilt on marble ( Cuzin-Maillard dor.).

First edition in round letters of this essential novel of which there were many Gothic editions before. Begun around 1230 by Guillaume de Lorris, the novel was interrupted at c. 4028 (or 4058) and continued by Jean de Meung around 1270. The first part of Lorris is an allegorized an allegorized courtly quest for initiation, recounting the story of a young hero who, upon seeing the reflection of a rose in the fountain of Narcissus, is struck by the arrows of love, and his initiation into love is strewn with pitfalls and hope. The second part of Meung is a philosophical reflection on the relationship between man and nature, on the function of desire and pleasure, on creation and procreation ( En français dans le texte, no. 18), through a series of adventures at the end of which the hero finally picks his rose. This is the most famous work of the Middle Ages. The edition is illustrated with 51 small woodcut vignettes, some of which are repeated. It is particularly accurate and highly sought-after. A superb copy in lined morocco by Cuzin with perfectly adapted gilding by Maillard.
