The HUNDRED NEWS. Sensuyvēt les cēt nouvelles cõtenant cent hystoires ou nouveaulx cõptes plaisans a deviser en toutes bonnes compaignies par maniere de ioyeusete. In-8, brown jansenist morocco, spine with 5 nerves, interior filleting, edges gilt on marble ( M. Lortic). Baudrier, X-39 // Bechtel, 543/N-78 // Brunet, I-1735 // Tchemerzine-Scheler, IV-72 // USTC, 49827. (136f.) / a-r8 / 40 lines, gothic car / 123 x 185 mm. The first edition was published by Arnoullet in Lyon around 1530, with a second edition in 1532 that differs in title from the present one. This work, falsely attributed to Antoine de La Salle, was written at the request of Philippe Le Bon, Duke of Burgundy, around 1462. by a court writer, possibly Philippe Pot. It's a collection of bawdy, jocular stories featuring ripailles, joutes amoureuses, feints and puns, forming a sequel to Boccaccio's Decameron and heralding the tales of the 16th century (Bechtel). Title in red and black with a large woodcut depicting a scholar (the author) reading a book with listeners behind him, a full-page woodcut on the last leaf depicting the king surrounded by six figures, and 38 woodcut figures in the text (actually 14 figures, 8 of which are repeated several times), and numerous initials. The copy bears a handwritten annotation in pencil by Jean Bourdel on the verso of the flyleaf: Edition sans date (circa 1525). I have compared this book page by page with the Arnoullet 1532 edition: except for the head wood and the endnote, everything is identical. This edition is certainly the first: the woodwork is much better, and the letters and characters are clear. In the 1532 edition, the woodwork is crushed, the letters blurred and the typography smeared. Small hole on folio Q6 with loss of 3 letters. Provenance: Édouard Rahir (II, May 6-8, 1931, no. 443) and Fairfax Murray (no number, label From the library of Ch. Fairfax Murray) .
