Poitiers: Jacques Bouchet, Jean et Enguilbert de Marnef frères, 1545. - In-folio, 298 x 195 : (6 ff.), 163 ff., (1 f.). Stiff white overlapping parchment, smooth spine including the other, title, place of edition and year in red and black ink (19th century binding). Tchémerzine, II, p. 62. New edition of this historical and poetic collection, mixing prose and verse, by Poitiers-born poet Jean Bouchet (1476-1557). It was published under a new privilege granted at Fontainebleau on January 3, 1543. The original appeared in 1527. Genealogies and epitaphs occupy the first 67 leaves, after the introductory texts. These are summaries, in prose and verse, of the main events that marked each of the kings, from Pharamond to Louis XII. Each epitaph is preceded by a wood-engraved portrait of the monarch studied, making a total of 57 portraits, most of which are set in decorative frames. The rest of the collection is taken up by poetic works, beginning with a long poem dedicated to François I, followed by epigrams and 101 epitaphs mainly "of various persons", such as Mahommet, Charles Martel, Olivier barbier du roi Louis XI, Anne de Bretagne, Scipion l'Africain, Clément Marot and others. but also animals (Epitaph of a bird called Estourneau, which can be applied in two directions - Epitaph of a small Dog) and various values (Justice, temperance, prudence, etc.). These 101 pieces are completed by Joseph Bouchet's epitaph of La Tremoille, followed by Deploration, et invective contre Tribulation, sur le deces de feu monseigneur monsieur Françoys de La Tremoille. The rest of the collection includes: - Le Chappellet (sic) des princes, formed of five ballades and fifty rondeaux, - various other ballades and rondeaux, - la Déploration de l'Église militante, sur les persécutions, laquelle deteste guerre, & incite les Roys & Princes a paix, - les Dizains moraux, sur les apophtegmes, c'est à dire subtilles réponses, des sept Sages de Grece, desquels i'ai oultre escript en prose la vie, & les mœurs, se terminant par une épître A Monseigneur, monsieur de Baïf, maistre des Requestes ordinaire du Roy, - Les angoysses & remedes d'amours. Du Traverseur, en son adolescence, - des Quatrains & cinquains donnans mémoire des temps d'aulcuns memorables faictz, - et les Patrons scelon l'ordre de A.B.C. commençant par toutes les lettres Latines elementaires, une après l'aultre, pour les filles qui veulent apprendre a secripre, & instructifz a bonnes meurs. The piece entitled Les angoysses & remedes d'amours is introduced by a false title illustrated with a fine woodcut. This is an important poetic work, one of the first composed by Jean Bouchet. Bouchet is considered the first poet to alternate masculine and feminine rhymes, and this is one of the very first pieces of poetry to do so. Copy washed and bound in 19th-century parchment. Boards and spine slightly soiled. The first two leaves and the last leaf have been skilfully restored and rebacked. Early annotations have been faded by washing, rendering them virtually illegible.
