Description

Incunabulum - THEODULUS. Ecloga. Comm: Odo Picardus [Eudes de Fouilloy]. Paris [or Lyon], Pierre Levet [or Mathias Huss), 1487 (August 20) [or January 9, 1487/1488]. In-8 of [82] (of 86) ff. modern marbled bradel boards. Missing first blank leaf a1 (with bookseller's mark on spine), leaf d8, leaf l5 and leaf l6 (half-ripped and missing). Leaves d8, l5 and l6 have been replaced by thick paper copies taken from the Levet edition in the Bibliothèque de Troyes. There are, however, a few differences from this Levet copy, which would suggest that it was printed by Mathias Huss in Lyon. Very rare, with only 4 copies in public collections (2 by Levet, 2 by Huss). Sometimes attributed to Theodule, bishop of Syria in the 5th century, or to Gottschalk d'Orbais (9th century), this didactic poem features a pagan shepherd (Pseustis, originally from Athens) and a Christian shepherdess (Alithia, descended from David) arguing about the virtues of paganism and Christianity. (ISTC n°it00152000 for Huss / it00151700 for Levet). Expert : Madame Elvire POULAIN
