"Fils d'un huissier au Parlement, Hauteroche s'enfuit en Espagne pour échapper à un mariage qu'on voulait lui faire contracter malgré lui et se fit comédien à Valence (Espagne). Il joua en Allemagne et fonda sa propre troupe à Paris en 1654, puis entra au Théâtre du Marais la même année et passa à l'Hôtel de Bourgogne en 1660. En 1671, il succéda à Floridon comme directeur de la troupe". Il obtint de grands succès comme auteur dramatique et en même temps, émule de Molière, il composa des comédies. "Sans s'élever à la création des caractères ou à la peinture des moeurs, son talent consistait à nouer habilement une intrigue et à semer le dialogue de traits plaisants".

A FINE COPY clean and fresh internally in a pristine binding.<br/> <br/> With very considerable visual and tactile appeal this is a gracefully bound copy of the the final book of verse issued by Richard Aldington published before he turned exclusively to writing prose. A leading poet of the early 20th-century Imagist school Aldington né Edward Godfree Aldington 1892-1962 was a prolific writer whose 50-year career produced novels biographies translations and literary criticism as well as sharp minimalist free verse. He was part of the contemporary London avant-garde crowd being close friends with Ezra Pound T. S. Eliot Amy Lowell and D. H. Lawrence; and he was especially close to the poet H. D. Hilda Doolittle his first wife from 1913-38. As literary editor of the leading Modernist periodical "The Egoist" he was an integral part of the pre-World War I literary scene and his first largely autobiographical work "Death of a Hero" 1929 was considered by George Orwell and Lawrence Durrell to be the best of the English Great War novels. The poems here were written in the mid-1930s when Aldington had decamped to the United States after the woman he loved Netta Patmore rejected his proposal of marriage. While tracing his grief and longing the verses also build the image of a "crystal world" created by the love of an ardent couple concluding that "Only from the purity of extreme passion / And alas the purity of extreme pain / Can you build the crystal world." Happily Aldington's beloved Netta to whom the work is dedicated reversed her decision and agreed in 1938 to help him build their crystal world together. The present lovely binding is unsigned but the delicate precise tooling and elegant design indicate the work of very talented hands. The romantic contents and the rather feminine aspect of the binding suggest that this was a gift from one lover to another perhaps a recipient sharing the initial "A" with our author. And the oversized and extravagant custom case indicates how much this object was treasured. William Heinemann Limited unknown
1622ST12778-0281Rome 1622. 295 x 410 mm. 11 5/8 x 16 1/8". Single column 23 lines in a papal chancery hand. <br/> Elaborate lettering across top line of text. Lower margin with several signatures in ink; verso with brief notes in ink; lacking the original hemp tie and lead seal. Two tears at bottom of the document where ties were removed not affecting text vellum lightly soiled but in excellent condition overall.<br/> <br/> Addressed to the Archbishop of Naples this Papal Bull grants a marriage dispensation between Fabritio Virgopia and Judith Cuono. An online search finds nothing about the couple named here but the document reveals that they were petitioning for a dispensation because they fell into the second and third degrees of consanguinity meaning that they shared at least one common ancestor. Although marrying within four degrees of consanguinity was prohibited by the church it was not uncommon for the Holy See to issue dispensations as here allowing such marriages to take place—particularly for the privileged classes. The Papal Bull takes its name from the lead seals called "bullae" lacking in the present example that were issued with official documents of the papacy as a way of ensuring their authenticity. Apart from the very rare Solemn Privilege like Innocent III's famous granting of England in 1214 to his involuntary vassal King John there are three categories of Papal Bulls: Simple Privileges also called Solemn Letters Letters of Grace which confirm privileges and rights but are somewhat smaller and Mandates which are differentiated by their use of hemp ties as opposed to silk as would have been the case here. Pope Gregory XV born Alessandro Ludovisi 1554-1623 ruled for just over two years from 1621-23. His brief papacy was marked by efforts to support the Catholic Counter-Reformation including the establishment of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith to oversee missionary work. He also played a key role in the election of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II canonized notable saints such as Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier and issued the last papal mandate concerning witchcraft. Documents issued by Gregory XV are unsurprisingly rare given the shortness of his rein: we could trace just one sold at auction since 1995. unknown
1614ST12778-0352Rome 1614. 203 x 319 mm. 8 x 12 5/8". Single column 25 lines in a papal chancery hand. <br/> With braided cloth tie for appended seal now gone. Elaborate lettering all across top line of text especially the first 8-line initial and at lower right corner. Lower margin with several signatures in ink behind the fold; verso with brief notes in ink; remains of hemp tie for appended seal which has been cut away. Three vertical and one horizontal fold creases faint overall yellowing to verso possible erasure correction in second line of text otherwise the page bright and the hand clear.<br/> <br/> Addressed to the Archbishop of Naples this Papal Bull grants a marriage dispensation between Pietro Palladino and Giovanna Cabalone. An online search finds nothing about the couple named in the present document but they were apparently high-ranking Neapolitan citizens who had the means to procure a Papal intercession. Likewise the particular impediment prohibiting the marriage is not apparent here. This type of document takes its name from the lead seals called "bullae" that were issued with official documents of the papacy as a way of ensuring their authenticity. Apart from the very rare Solemn Privilege like Innocent III's famous granting of England in 1214 to his involuntary vassal King John there are three categories of Papal Bulls: Simple Privileges also called Solemn Letters Letters of Grace which confirm privileges and rights but are somewhat smaller and Mandates which are differentiated by their use of hemp ties as opposed to silk as here. A member of the influential Borghese family Pope Paul V born Camillo Borghese 1550-1621 reigned as head of the Catholic Church for 16 years from 1605 until his death. As a staunch defender of the rights and privileges of the church he often came into conflict with secular leaders. He is perhaps best remembered for financing the completion of St. Peter's Basilica and for his involvement in the Galileo controversy in which he warned the scientist against advocating heliocentrism. unknown
1475ST19653NNorthern France ca. 1475. 155 x 110 mm. 6 x 4 1/4". Single column 16 lines in a gothic book hand. <br/> Rubrics in dark pink ONE EXQUISITE FOUR-LINE INITIAL painted blue with white detailing filled with red and blue vines and leaves on a burnished gold ground with a painted and gilt bar border on one side each end capped with a flower the text surrounded on three sides with a border of acanthus leaves dense rinceaux colorful flowers gold ivy leaves and bezants. A couple negligible imperfections but IN VERY FINE CONDITION<br/> <br/> One of the most popular optional prayers in the 15th century Book of Hours "O Intemerata" "Oh immaculate virgin" is a brief supplication in which the Virgin is glorified for her purity as the "unspotted and forever blessed singular and incomparable Virgin Mary Mother of God." The present leaf is given special emphasis with the presence of a three-quarter rinceaux border surrounding the text and the opening of the prayer is marked by an especially pretty and finely detailed initial that glitters with burnished gold. The leaf is unusually beautiful precisely rendered and in very fine condition. unknown
ST18310cGermany ca. 1100. 130 x 204 mm. 5 1/8 x 8". Single column 13 extant lines in a late Caroline hand. <br/> Rubrics in red. ◆Recovered from a binding and thus noticeably browned stained and vaguely wavy one side somewhat faded several small holes just two touching any letters other imperfections but still a very presentable specimen the ink especially dark on one side and legible on both.<br/> <br/> This is an early fragment in a distinctive hand lacking the heaviness of other scripts of the period and with a feeling of the elongated grace of the humanistic. Despite having previously been used as a binding scrap the fragment remains definitely readable partly because of the clarity of the scribal hand. Elected pope in 590 Gregory I ca. 540-604 also known as Gregory the Great was one of the most influential pontiffs in the history of the Church. In addition to revising liturgical worship he wrote extensively on theology offering homespun wisdom rather than esoteric debates. His "Homilies on the Gospels" were intended to be preached to common people rather than a monastic audience and as a consequence were greatly admired for their straightforward language and pastoral relevance. unknown
