CORROZET (Gilles). Les antiquitez et choses plus remarquables de Paris, recueillies par M. Pierre Bonfons, controlleur au grenier & magasin à sel de Pontoise. Augmentees, par frere Iacques du Breul, religieux octogenaire de l'abbaye de sainct Germain des Prez, lez Paris. [Les Antiquitez et singularitez de Paris. Livre second. De la Sepulture des Roys, & des Roynes de France, Princes, Princesses & autres persones illustres : Repentez par figures ainsi qu'ils se voyent encores a preset es Eglises où ils sont inhumez. Recueillis par Jean Rabel, M. paintre. Paris, Bonnefons, 1586-1588. 2 parts bound in 1 large volume in-12, brown morocco, ribbed spine, boards, edges and inner border decorated with alternating cold-stamped bold and light fillets, gilt title on spine, gilt edges (sober unsigned 19th century binding in the taste of those of the 16th century). Large, handsome publisher's mark on the title, innumerable bands and initials and 58 woodcut figures in text. The most sought-after edition of this work, which includes the second part in an original edition. It is sought-after because of the Sépultures [...] recueillies par Jean Rabel, peintre, which contain 55 curious woodcut figures. The 1586 edition mentions various events from the years 1581-1585. Like its predecessors, it concludes with a list of bishops, magistrates and officers of the provost's office, the châtelet and the town hall, a table of temporal jurisdictions and prisons, the names of streets, churches, chapels and colleges in the city, town and university of Paris; and lastly, a list of the principal houses and hostels of the great lords, as well as gates, bridges, fountains and suburbs. An important Parisian bookseller, Gilles Corrozet was also a successful author, and thus occupied an exceptional place in the world of 16th-century Parisian publishing. A tireless chronicler, his best-known work is this book on Paris, a multi-faceted work that he revised throughout his life, and which is at once an eulogy of the city's origins, a historical and monumental description and an early example of a tourist guide. A very fine copy.
