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.
