158787613A Paris: Chez Mamert Patisson 1587. Fine. Chez Mamert Patisson A Paris 1587 8.50 x 15 cm relié New edition following the original of 1573. A handsome edition well printed in italics. It contains the Christian poetry absent from the 1600 edition. Copy enhanced with a portrait of the author from around 1820. Full glazed blonde calf Restoration binding signed at foot F. Bozérian jeune. Spine with raised bands decorated with 5 fleurons fillets and roulettes on the bands. Date at foot in blind. Boards ruled in blind with frame roulette composed of interlaced circles. Interior Greek key border. Edges gilt. A small fragment missing from head. Some traces of rubbing. Paper very fresh the engraving has caused slight uniform foxing on the title page. A handsome copy.

Desportes' poetry was durably influenced and shaped by Italian literature. The author indeed returns to France after a journey to Italy where he underwent the influence of Petrarch - his first poems are moreover criticized as neo-Petrarchan. His first book appeared in a collective collection and gathered his poetry imitated from Ariosto. His clear frank mannerist and refined poetry court poetry eclipsed that of Ronsard at the court of Henri III. It was in turn criticized and replaced by that of Malherbe. Desportes' literature nonetheless constitutes an important aspect of Renaissance poetry. Chez Mamert Patisson hardcover

His writings reveal many of the less savory aspects of the reign of Louis XI and Commines related them without apology insisting that the late king's virtues outweighed his vices. He is regarded as a major primary source for 15th century European history."The Mémoires are divided into "books" the first six of which were written between 1488 and 1494 and relate the course of events from the beginning of Commines' career 1464 up to the death of King Louis.
