GOMBERVILLE (Marin Le Roy, seigneur de): La Doctrine des Moeurs Tirée de la philosophie Des Stoiques: représentée en cent tableaux. Et expliquée en cent discours pour l'instruction de la jeunesse. Paris, Daret, 1646. Two parts in one volume. 21 by 32.3 cm. (18)-105 leaves (36 and 210 pages). Antique full vellum, title-pieces rebacked. Good condition of binding. Marginal staining on ten or so leaves, some rare foxing. Part 1: An engraved title, an engraved title of part 1, an engraving in homage to the Roy, an engraving in homage to Cardinal Mazarin, a portrait of Gomberville, 60 moral emblems, and an end engraving. Part 2: An engraved title for part 2, 43 moral emblems, and a final engraving. Complete (in 103 tables). Bands and initials. First edition of this work composed at the request of MAZARIN for the instruction of the young LOUIS XIV. GOMBERVILLE (1600-1674), writer, was one of the first members of the Académie Française. Part of his literary work focused on morality, and he became a Jansenist, ending his life in seclusion. Beautiful book of emblems. This is a reprint of Otto Vaenius' Emblemata horatiana (1607), with figures retouched by Pierre Daret, the book's engraver and editor. Above all, it's a morality book for children, with a complete teaching device that was new for the time: an illustration (a composite scene) of a moral precept, with an explanation of the engraving and the moral story it tells on the facing page. Below, in Latin, quotations from ancient authors on the same theme. And below the engraving, a short poem also centered on the moral precept evoked: four ways of approaching the moral precept.
