160275949Anvers Antwerp: Jean MoretusEx officina plantiniana apud Ioannem Moretum 1602. Fine. Jean Moretus Ex officina plantiniana apud Ioannem Moretum Anvers Antwerp 1602 8.20 x 12.60 cm relié New Plantin press editions in portable format of these three works. Ruled throughout in red ink. Copy with the arms of Nicolas de Villars clerical councillor at the Parlement of Paris and treasurer of the Sainte-Chapelle later bishop of Agen. Contemporary full soft brown morocco a fanfare binding with the rare Duodo-type decoration: smooth spine gilt with six medallions each containing a flower gilt foliage border covers fully gilt with 24 medallions some emblematic sun heart acorn bouquet sheaf of wheat arms stamped in the centre edges gilt. Discreet restorations to joints corners and headcaps; upper and lower borders with minor wear to leather 0.5 cm; lacking ties; pinhole at head of spine. From the first title-leaf a wormhole in the lower margin extending through to the final leaves of the Fables of Aesop gradually diminishing. A magnificent copy of the utmost rarity. The singular decoration of this style of binding representing one of the pinnacles of the art of French bookbinding is today identified as Duodo after Pierre Duodo Venetian ambassador to Paris from 1594 to 1597. About 150 small volumes were uniformly bound for a portable library only part now known probably towards the end of his stay. It is unlikely he ever enjoyed these treasures which fell into oblivion for nearly two centuries. When they reappeared on the English market at the end of the eighteenth century they were mistakenly attributed to Marguerite de Valois an error that persisted until the 1920s. Although the name Duodo remains attached to this style of decoration another great collector commissioned similar bindings: Nicolas de Villars bishop of Agen. Duodos bindings are now well identified while those of Nicolas de Villars are considerably rarer on the market. While the spine here is very close to the Duodo examples with flowers and foliage borders though in a finer and denser design the covers show 24 medallions compared to only 14 on Duodo bindings and the tools employed are not limited to floral motifs but include a variety of emblems such as the sun and the heart.
