[BAYART]. La Tresioyeuse plaisante & recreative hystoire compose par le loyal serviteur des faiz, gestes, triumphes et prouesses du bon chevalier sans paour et sans reprouche le gentil seigneur de Bayart... In-4, red morocco, armorial supra-libris of the Mello library in the center of the boards, 5-rib spine, interior lace, gilt edges ( Trautz-Bauzonnet). Bechtel, 57/B-69 // Brunet, III-182 // USTC, 31387. (4f.)-XCVIII / A4, A-Z4, ｸ4,?2 / 39 long lines, goth. car. / 171 x 242 mm. Rare first edition of the story of Bayard, the fearless knight whose epic is such that it ranks among the legendary figures who made French history. There are two versions of this illustrious character's story. One was written by Champier and first published in Lyon in 1525, the other by an anonymous author. This is the better and more sought-after version. The author is now known as Jacques de Mailles, one of Bayard's secretaries. This honest biography contains accounts of the battles in which Bayard took part, notably that of Marignan. This account of Bayard's life was not republished until almost a hundred years later, in 1616. Title in red and black, coat of arms of France on verso and initials in the text. A very fine copy, despite minor bumping to the upper corners of the binding and very skilful restoration to the first 2 and last 2 leaves. Provenance: Baron Achille Seillière (supra-libris, February 28 - March 4 1887, no. 105).

Oraisons lamentations et Epitaphes dudit chevalier Bayard. Contenant plusieurs Victoires des roys de France Charles.Viii. Loys.vii ｸ Francois premier de ce nom tant es Italles que autres regions et pays. In-8, fawn calf, double fillet, spine with 5 ornate nerves, edges gilt on marbling ( 18th century binding). Bechtel, 125/C-142 // Brunet, I-1774 // Renouard, ICP, III-792 // Rothschild, II-1505 // USTC, 49952. (78f.) / A-J8, K6 / 31 long lines, gothic car / 122 x 189 mm. A new edition (third, fourth or fifth) of this novelistic version of the life of the knight Bayard by Symphorien Champier, the famous French physician and historian, born in 1471 (1472?) in Saint-Symphorien-le-Loise and died around 1540, whom we introduced in the previous issue and who himself had a most romantic destiny: he practiced medicine in Lyon, married one of Bayard's cousins, followed the Duke of Lorraine as his physician on his way to fight in Italy, distinguished himself at Marignan, and, on his return, took charge of the municipal affairs of the city of Lyon... His story of Bayard is, as we said, more romantic than the one written by Jacques de Mailles. Nevertheless, it was a great success. First published in 1524, it went through five editions in 1525, three of which were undated, making the order of publication uncertain. Ours is probably the third or fourth. It contains in fine a part in Latin Compēdiola illustrissimi Bayardi vita: una cum panegyricis epitaphis, anecdotes about Bayard's life accompanied by epitaphs by Nicolas de Quarcet and Symphorien Champier. It is illustrated with 6 woodcuts in the text, depicting towns, battles, castle assaults, soldiers and numerous initials. Formerly restored binding with stains and defects, hinges partly split, epidermis, illegible handwritten inscription on first cover. Provenance: Baron Sosthène de La Roche Lacarelle (bookplate, April 30-May 4 1888, no. 491) and Paul Couturier de Royas (bookplate).
