Old foxing, a few marginal holes or wormholes, restored loss on last leaf with loss of text. "This edition and that of Paris, Vidoue pour Kerver 1521, in-8 goth. are preferred to the various reprints that were made in Lyon, 1545, 1556 and 1572, in-8, and also in Venice, in 1570 and 1573, because it is claimed that the text of the latter has been altered, and that the passages against women have been softened [...]" Brunet. "A bizarre book, in which the author unfolds a facetious erudition with sustained seriousness. The coarsest sarcasms against women are sprinkled throughout. This is where we find that "God, having formed man, postponed the creation of woman, in order to deal with her at the same time as with the animals, and that he limited himself to shaping her body; as for the head, he didn't want to interfere and left its organization to the devil."" Gay. Handwritten bookplate De Grosieux le fils (Brunet IV, 47; Gay III, 1162).

FRANCESC SERRA CASTELLET (Barcelona, 1912 - Tossa, Girona, 1976). "Female nude". Oil on tablex. Presents sketch on the back. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 60 x 83 cm; 74 x 97 cm (frame). Painter and draftsman, Francesc Serra spent his youth in Granollers, Barcelona. Although he passed fleetingly through the School of La Lonja in Barcelona, he is basically a self-taught author. He had his first exhibition in 1932, at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and participated in the Salones de Primavera between 1934 and 1936. In 1936 and 1937 he was a special guest of the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, United States. He continued to hold individual exhibitions in Barcelona, mainly at the Sala Gaspar. A great admirer of Degas, he was especially influenced by his favorite theme, the feminine. Sporadically he also tackled other themes, such as the urban landscape, of which the series of Paris, presented in 1951, is worth mentioning. Likewise, with his portraits of the lead mine he approached the sensitive realism of Ingres. He won several awards, including the Sant Jordi of Barcelona (1953) and the first medals at the National Exhibitions of Madrid (1957) and Barcelona (1960). He collected several unpublished drawings under the title "Dibujos de Serra" (1973), with a prologue by Santos Torroella. Determined defender of realism in art and of traditional figuration against the avant-garde, he published the essay "La aventura del arte contemporáneo" (1953), with a prologue by Rafael Benet. He is represented in the Museums of Modern Art of Madrid and Barcelona and in the Museums of Fine Arts of l'Empordà and Sabadell.
