*TIRAQUEAU (André). Opera omnia, quae hactemus extant, Septem Tomis distincta : quorum hic Primus continet libros : De Nobibilitate et Ivre Primigeniorum [...] Francfort, sn, 1574. In-folio of [12] ff. (including title in beautiful engraved frame with engraved arms on verso, large engraved arms at dedication and beautiful engraved portrait of author), 531 pp. and [19] ff. index. Remains of binding (first wooden ais with remains of clasps and spine). The jurisconsult André Tiraqueau (1488-1558), provost judge and lieutenant-general of the Sénéchal du Poitou in Fontenay-le-Comte, welcomed to his Cénacle de Fontenay-le-Comte (a circle of scholars composed mainly of jurists and great humanists, philosophers, connoisseurs of ancient literature, philologists, historians and physicians) the young monks Pierre Lamy and François Rabelais, who used him as a model for the character of Trinquamelle in Gargantua and Pantagruel. The Tiers Livre was largely inspired by Tiraqueau's De legibus ("Treatise on Laws"). He maintained friendly relations with Christofle de Thou, Michel de l'Hospital and Charles Dumoulin. In 1541, he was called by the king to sit on the Parlement de Paris, having refused a seat on the Parlement de Bordeaux a few years earlier. His encyclopedic knowledge and finesse of mind earned him the title of "the Varron of his century" by Théodore de Bèze. André Tiraqueau's work was of prime importance to the development of French legal culture, and was a great success. He wrote numerous treatises, the most famous of which are De nobilitate ("Treatise on nobility") and De poenis temperandis ("Treatise on the moderation of penalties"). The value of his writings, inspired by Greek and Latin authors (Plato, Aristotle, Galen and Cicero), lies not so much in the new solutions he came up with as in the contribution he made, in times of turmoil, to the reorganization of various legal institutions, on the borderline between common law and customary law. In his treatise De legibus connubialibus, Tiraqueau reactivated the Querelle des femmes by asserting the protective role of the husband, and hence the superiority of men over women. Rabelais's Tiers livre echoes some of his ideas through Panurge (source: Wikipedia).
