*BOUCHET (Guillaume). Second Livre des Serees de Guillaume Bouchet, sieur de Brocourt. Lyon, Ancelin, 1618. Small in-12 brown calf, spine ribbed and decorated (period binding). Heads torn off (with half the tail box missing), jaws split, corners dulled. Son of printer and bookseller Jacques I Bouchet, Guillaume Bouchet (c. 1513-1594) was lord of Brocourt (in the commune of Nieuil-l'Espoir) and judge-consul to the merchants of Poitiers. He was one of a small group of poets and literati in Poitiers around the middle of the 16th century, including Jean de La Péruse and Tahureau. He also wrote verse, but with less success than his prose. In addition to his work on falconry (1567), he left a collection full of knowledge and verve, entitled les Serées (soirées), a highly personal work for its playful qualities as well as its abundant erudition. Inspired by Montaigne's Essais, of which Bouchet was a fervent but clumsy admirer, this book is a series of less profound than pleasant reflections on the tricks and bon mots that a few friends are supposed to tell each other to pass the "soirées". Although often heavy-handed, even crude, it was a real success. Three series were published from 1584 onwards, the last posthumously (1598), and reprinted several times. (Wikipedia.)
