SAINT-AMANT (Marc-Antoine Gérard, dit De): La Rome ridicule du sieur de Saint Amant - Roma contrafatta del Signore di Saint Amant. S.n, s.l., s.d. One volume. 7 by 12 cm. 103 pages.

In turn, overly prudish matrons and jealous husbands are mocked, while the life of the common people in Rome's bustling streets is colorfully described, as the poet grumbles about the poor quality of food, drink and lodgings.

A rare late 17th-century bilingual French and Italian edition of these irreverent CI poems, of which no trace has been found. The Italian translation in rhyming verse seems a form of provocation, given what is said about Rome. One line is retouched (poem VII)...
