17411352First edition of Mazzuchelli's biography of the infamous poet Pietro Aretino 1492-1556 known as the 'scourge of princes'. Aretino's satirical sonnets and burlesques were so feared by the nobles and princes of his day that they appear to have handed out large sums of money to buy his silence. This so-called patronage funded a notoriously profligate lifestyle and his home in Venice where he went having been banished from his home town of Arezzo on the publication of his sonnet against indulgences became the scene of continuous revelling and orgies.<br /> The preface pp. iii-viii is supplied by A.F. Seghezzi. Giuseppe Bartoli's letter to Mazzuchelli on the subject of the present work praising the latter for his 'erudizione si ammirabile' is also included pp. 263-267.

P3 mis-signed a3. 6-1/4" x 3-3/4" <br/><br/>This a translation of Camus' Élise ou L'innocence Coupable which was first published in 1621. "Jean-Pierre Camus was one of the most prolific authors of the period 1620-1648. His prose is succinct without the elaborate rhetoric of authors -- such as Antoine de Nervèze -- from the previous generation. He also shows a vast knowledge of poetry. Camus's first works were strongly influenced by the Essays of Michel de Montaigne albeit with more religious content. His spiritual works were directly inspired by Saint François de Sales; he was critical of mendicant orders and wrote extensively on poverty grace and spiritual reflection. His fictional works encompass both novels and short stories. His dark and violent stories often based on contemporary anecdotes or criminal incidents he wrote over 1000 such works were in the tradition of the horrific tales "histoires tragiques" of Matteo Bandello popular in France in the late Renaissance and early seventeenth century. His longer works show the influence of ancient Greek novels such as the works of Heliodorus of Emesa and Achilles Tatius with their scenes of tempests and kidnappings. Much of his fiction has a moralistic intention showing human folly the unruliness of passions the dangers of illicit love and the saving grace of divine love."

In-12 (158 x 88 mm), plein veau brun de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs orné de compartiments fleuronnés, tranches mouchetées, (8), 222, (10) p. Edition originale. La Fontaine, ami de Benserade, publia ses fables en 1668. Ce dernier fit de même dix ans plus tard, toujours tirées d’Ésope. Mis en quatrains, elles étaient destinées à être gravées pour légender le groupe de figures représentant les héros du fabuliste grec qui décoraient le labyrinthe de Versailles créé par André Le Nôtre entre 1672 et 1677 pour l'éducation du dauphin, fils de Louis XIV. Chaque quatrain, au nombre de 220, est ici illustré d'un joli bois gravé en médaillon. On retrouve les plus célèbres fables comme Le Loup et l'Agneau, Le Corbeau et le Renard, La Cigale et la Fourmi, Le Chêne et le Roseau, etc., etc. La liberté de ces quatrains déplut à l'entourage religieux du Dauphin et La Bruyère se rangea à cette opinion. "Trente-neuf de ces apologues devaient être gravés sur le socle des groupes en plomb doré, qui représentaient des scènes ésopiques et décoraient le bosquet du Labyrinthe. La concision était donc naturellement de rigueur dont les petits médaillons ovales ont été taillés par Pierre Le Sueur selon la meilleure tradition du XVIe" (Emile Dacier, 'La gravure française', p. 51). Dramaturge et poète français, Isaac de Benserade (1612-1691) fut notamment l'auteur de livrets pour Lully. Homme d'esprit très en vue en son temps, académicien en 1674, il fut l'ami et le pensionné de Richelieu et de Mazarin. Charnières et dos restaurés. Signature ex-libris biffée au titre. Bon exemplaire grand de marges, intérieur frais, imprimé sur papier fort.
