Description

Collective. Annulaire agathopédique et saucial. Bruxelles, Imprimé par les Presses iconographiques à la Congrève de l'ordre des Agath:, chez A. Labroue et Compagnie, Cycle IV [1849-1850]. Large in-8 of [4], 134 (mal ch. 130) pp. and 4 pp. of engraved music. Brown half-basane, smooth spine decorated with rocaille irons and gilt title (period binding). Covers and spines restored. First edition printed "in a sacramental number of 350 copies only" (n°50). Woodcuts by Louis Huart. The last two leaves include the Musique de l'annulaire agathopédique et saucial: éloge du cochon, les agathopèdes, le cœur et la bagatelle... A rare publication from this pantechnical and palingenesque Society of the Agathopeds, founded in 1847 in a Brussels cabaret and composed not of "students and young rapins", but of figures "occupying prominent positions: members of the Academy, lawyers, university professors, archivists, general officers, architects, artists of proven talent...". The members, united under the motto "Amis comme cochons! Anything for a duck!"were given the name of an animal, sometimes taken from the Roman de Renart ("Grand Pourceau royal" for historian, archaeologist and academician Antoine Schayes, president of the society, "Goupil le renard" for the Montois numismatist and bibliophile Renier Chalon, a great fan of mystifications, "Tardif le Limaçon" for the bookbinder Schavye, Pyrope l'Escarboucle for Alexandre Dumas père or "Pancer II le Castor" for the architect Alphonse Balat). Having pledged to prefer champagne to lemonade, these illustrious personalities would gather in Brussels to indulge in pranks and memorable agapes, publishing each year their famous Annulaire agathopédique et saucial as well as various facetious works, much sought-after by bibliophiles. This yearbook sets out the Society's statutes, defined by the "Bureau des Platitudes et des Ephémorroïdes" (Office of Platitudes and Ephemorrhoids), gives the agathopedic calendar, whose months are named after dishes (Huitrinaire, Crêpose, Jambonose, Truffose, Boudinal, Canardinal, Petitpoisidor...), and proposes the various activities of the Bêtes-laides or Sciants class (courses in biblical agathopedics, gynofulope construction, pinopenal legislation...). The book's typography uses Masonic symbolism (Oberlé, 1139 - Quérard, Supercheries III, 303-308).
