Auquel avons adjousté les Devises héroïques & morales du seigneur Gabriel Syméon. Lyon, Guillaume Rouillé, 1561.

Havana morocco, ornate ribbed spine, triple gilt fillet on covers, double gilt fillet on edges, gilt edges on jasper, broad framing on inside covers (Hardy). Brown stains on boards. First French edition. The motto book by the Italian humanist Giovio forms an adaptation of the Ragionamento sopra i motti e disegni d'arme e d'amore, (Venice, 1560). It was compiled by the Carpentrasian canon and judge Vasquin Philieul (1522-1582), known for being the first to publish a complete French translation of Petrarch's work. The work also contains Louis Dominique's Discours sur les devises militaires et d'amour (pp. 157-212) and the Devises, ou emblèmes heroïques et morales by Florentine humanist Gabriele Simeoni (pp. 213-251), which have their own title page with the author's emblem and motto engraved on the reverse. The emblems are set in eight different frames, richly decorated with interlacing, astronomical signs, fabulous animals, arabesques and grotesques, directly inspired by those used by Jean de Tournes for his Métamorphoses d'Ovide in 1557 (Baudrier IX, 277-278). Bookplate of Constantin N. Radoulesco [Radulescu]. A fine copy.
