LORRIS (Guillaume de) and MEUN (Jean de). Le Roman de la Rose. Revu sur plusieurs éditions & sur quelques anciens manuscrits. Accompanied by several other works, a historical preface, notes & a glossary. [Edition given by LENGLET-DUFRESNOY]. Amsterdam, Jean-Frédéric Bernard, 1735. 3 vol. in-12 of [2] ff, lxviii-362 pp., [1]-424 pp., [1]-384 pp. Basane fave jaspée, ornate spine, dark blue calf title and greevel, gilt fillets around covers (period binding). Minor worm damage to spine. Rare edition by Lenglet-Dufresnoy, the first since 1538. The text given by Lenglet du Fresnoy is based on that given in 1499 by Vérard. Without the rare Supplément au glossaire du Roman de la Rose (by J.-B. Lantin de Damerey), 1737, J. Sirot, Dijon. The first volume contains a life of Jean de Meung by André Thevet. The third volume includes : Le Codicille de Maistre Jean de Meung, Le Testament de Maistre Jean de Meung, Les Remontrances de Nature à l'alchimistre errant par l'Autheur Jean de Meung, La Response de l'Alchimiste à Nature, Testament attributed to Arnauld de Villeneufve, Petit Traicté d'Alchimie intitulé Le Sommaire philosophique de Nicolas Flamel, La Fontaine des amoureux de science composée par Jean de La Fontaine de Valenciennes, Balade du Secret des Philosophes, and Glossaire ou explication des anciens mots du Roman de la Rose. This edition, given by Lenglet-Dufresnoy, is unusual in that it has two prefaces, one by the publisher, the other by Clément Marot, which accompanied the 1527, 1529 and 1537 editions. "It must be confessed that the author appears strongly inclined towards the chemistry of the Great Work or transmutation... natural and moral philosophers can learn from it. Les théologiens, les astrologues, les géométriciens, les alchimistes... et autres gens nés sous la constellation et influence des bons astres qui désirent savoir une manière d'ars et science..." preface by Lenglet Dufresnoy. (Caillet 6802.) "In the same year (1265) that Dante was born, Jean Clopinel dit Jean de Meung continued the Roman de la Rose that Guillaume de Loris had begun forty years earlier. Under his pen, the beautiful and delicate "Art d'aimer" imitated from Ovid and sung by his predecessor became an encyclopedia of considerations on all kinds of subjects, from the origins of the world, love, fortune, nature, art, astronomy, alchemy, to religion and morality. (...) The Roman de la Rose is as learned a revelation of the occult as Apuleius'; Jehan de Meung has hidden in this work the key to the mysteries of Hermetic Philosophy." Sédir, Histoire des Rose-Croix. A fine copy.
