Description

Normandie - FERRAND (David). La Muse Normande published according to the original librettos, 1625-1653 and the Inventaire général of 1655. With introduction, notes and glossary by A. Héron. Rouen, Lestringant, 1891-1894. 5 volumes in-8 paperback, printed covers filled (dusty). Ex-libris Pierre Sédille. Very rare publication of the Société rouennaise des bibliophiles, printed in an edition of only 75 copies (no. 16). The last two volumes are slightly foxed. "La Muse normande, a popular book if ever there was one, is nonetheless an invaluable compendium for anyone wishing to learn about the customs and spirit of the people of Rouen, and the main events that took place in Rouen in the first half of the 17th century, a time when France was troubled by internal strife. With regard to the language, whose coarseness is always affected, it is no less curious in the midst of the Norman patois, called langue purinique, one encounters Latin words and many forged words." "FERRAND(David), poet and impr.-lib. in Rouen, from 1615-1660, born in that city towards the end of the 16th c. and died around 1660, was one of the heads of a long family of Rouen printers, who impr. from 1571 until 1820. He composed several in rhymed Norman patois, otherwise known as purin, the language of the people of Rouen. In his dedication of the Muse norm. to the Duc de Longueville, Ferrand recalls having sent pieces to the Acad. des Palinods for 40 years." Frère.
