The narrative vein is expanding there with a certain freedom like in the pages dedicated to the life of the Popess Joan to the voluptuous lengths on the loves of Thisbe to the history of the naïve Paulina Roman woman loved by God Anubis recalling quite closely the tale of Lisette and Angel Gabriel from the Decameron. … As a whole the volume is a compromise between the historical scholarship and the tale a pleasing erudition book aimed not only at men but also women - whom declares Boccaccio as an excuse being used to hear stories have a greater need of it and enjoy themselves with a copious story." </em>T.F. G. Rouville. </p><p><strong>The volume is illustrated with 11 woodcuts that since repeated form an iconographical cycle of 80 engravings.</strong></p><p>Most of them measure 87 x 80 mm and represent a queen with a child in her arms 23 times a queen standing with some ladies in front of her 22 times a woman breastfeeding twins in front of a landscape 17 times. Two other engravings come from the <em>Chevalier délibéré</em> printed in 1488. Two engravings of different sizes 140 x 86 mm show a bishop at his writing case topped with a sage and a woman; they come from the "<em>Ars moriendi</em>" printed by Le Rouge for Vérard in 1492. Nine of these engravings were specially executed for this book and are therefore here in first issue.</p><p>"<em>Extremely rare volume illustrated with a certain number of beautiful woodcuts which are among the most interesting ones from the works published by Vérard</em>".

He wrote as much for the people who enjoyed the entertaining reading of the Decameron as for the aristocracy who in the <em>De casibus virorum illustrium</em> translated into French <em>Le cas des nobles malheureux</em> found a kind of ethical encyclopedia of the great men from the Antiquity. </p><p>This first edition was printed by Antoine Vérard who dedicated the work to Anne of Brittany wife of King Charles VIII. It was for the most part due to writers engaged by Anne of Brittany or attracted by the possibility of her patronage as Antoine Vérard could be that literature to the praise and defense of women was promoted in the French court.</p><p>The title only contains two lines of text. On the back of the title begins the translator's preface suppressed in some copies and supplemented with a miniature. In this copy it is coming with a woodcut showing the Queen Anne of Brittany seated in a throne surrounded by female characters from her suite. </p><p>On the front of the last leaf the typographical mark of Antoine Vérard.</p><p>This translation of <em>De Casibus virorum illustrium</em> by Boccaccio was made for Jean de Chanteprime between 1400 and 1409 by Laurent de Premierfait. The latter belongs to a generation of French humanists under the reign of Charles VI re-discovering and celebrating classical literature since Cicero until Petrarch and Boccaccio. He was a scholar Latinist much appreciated by the humanists of his time but what mostly made his glory were the translations into French from Latin or Latin texts versions of originally Greek or Italian texts made for aristocrat sponsors.</p><p>Bechtel mentions a cut in the word "nouvellement" on the title uncut in our copy and therefore labelled as: "novellement".</p><p><strong>Précious copy.</strong></p><p>In half a century only one other complete copy appeared on the public market sold for 35 000 € 30 years ago.

1542835Paris: Jean André bookseller to the University colophon: printed by Denis Janot 1542. French calf ca. 1760 sewn on 5 supports richly gold-tooled spine with a black morocco label in the 2nd of 6 compartments gold double-fillets on board edges blind triple fillets on boards gilt edges green silk ribbon marker curl-marbled endpapers similar to Wolfe 16 but with red blue orange green and white in that order. Folio 31.5 x 21.5 cm. With Jean Andrés woodcut flaming heart and caged bird device on the title-page and 15 woodcut illustrations plus 21 repeats in the text mostly 5.5 x 8 cm each in any of several 4-piece decorative borders including 8 foot pieces each with a different coat of arms; one illustration 13.5 x 8.5 cm with an 8-piece decorative border 5 woodcut decorated initials 2 series plus 1 repeat and many spaces with guide-letters for manuscript initials not filled in. Set in a roman type with shoulder notes and some verses in italic and a large roman for headings. Jean André issue of the extremely influential first French-language edition by Adrien Sevin of Boccaccio's first major work Il filocolo ca. 1336 a prose tale detailing the romantic love and adventures of Florio and Biancafiore based on the ca. 1160 French verse romance Floire et Blancheflor written at the request of Boccaccio's muse "Fiammetta". Boccaccio's version served as the model for Chaucer's more than fifty years later but it is a reworking rather than a translation so it was largely through the present printed translation that Il philocope a precursor of the better known Decameron became known north of the Alps. The fine woodcut illustrations first appeared in Janot's 1540 edition of Amadis de Gaula and after the Philocope also for several other romances. The borders used with them in these works are apparently older for two of the head borders are dated 1520. King François I of France who reigned from 1515 to 1547 greatly admired the Italian Renaissance and encouraged Italian influences in many aspects of French culture. The present book reflects that movement both as a model of French Renaissance prose under Italian influence and as an example of book production using new roman and italic types in the new style introduced under Italian influence in the 1530s.With the small letterpress bookplate and the armorial bookplate of Charles Bouchelet de Vendegies Comte d'Hust 1772- 1851 and a later bookplate of the Swiss collector Albert Natural. With a few mostly marginal defects and early repairs but with three repaired tears in the text one also in a woodcut but so skilfully repaired that it is barely visible in the woodcut. One of the repeated woodcuts has a small abrasion. Otherwise in good condition. The binding has restorations to the hinges and corners and the spine shows some superficial cracks and flaking but nearly all of the tooling remains clear. The very influential first French edition of Boccaccio's first major work with excellent woodcut illustrations.l BMC STC French p. 71 Janot issue; Brun Le livre français illustré p. 158; Mortimer French 105 Janot issue; Rawles Denis Janot . 1976 PhD thesis 164; Renouard Imprimeurs Parisiens 155; USTC 37796 & 92444 8 copies; see 37799 65503 & 92444 for the other issues; cf.
