Fine. Les Quinze Joyes de Mariage The 15 Joys of Marriage is an anonymous late fourteenth- or early fifteenth-century French satire in prose that presents a picture full of sharpness and humor on the deceits and conflicts that afflict the married state. The misogynist satire is allied to a pitiless analysis of the blindness of husbands in everyday concrete situations. The author remains anonymous in spite of the eight lines of octosyllables placed at the end of the text that contain the name of the author. The riddle has held its secret until today but several names have been proposed most often Antoine de la Sale 1385-1460. Henry Lemarie 1911-1991 a French illustrator from Tours is the most famous French miniaturist of the twentieth century; his work is highly sought after by bibliophiles. Lemarie studied classical literature under the Jesuits then from 1930 to 1936 studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His work is influenced by Fra Angelico Bruegel the Elder and other Medieval and Renaissance artists. Editions du Rameau D'Or, Paul Cotinaud, hardcover books

First edition. xvi 359 iii; 334; 360pp. 3 vols. 12mo. Contemporary Satire of Rousseau's 'Émile'. A satirical response to Rousseau's Emile ou l'Education 1762. Where Émile is guided by a wise tutor the author of Le Père avare mocks from the outset Rousseau's dictum "le véritable précepteur est le père" for the narrator's father M. d'Erigny grew up poor and gained wealth through his friendship with a government minister; his child has been spoiled from infancy. <br/>While M. d'Erigny is drunk his mistress gets him to sign an order from her jeweler for 20000 francs of precious stones and skips out. The extravagance is discovered and the father becomes miserly in the extreme. The son now 15 years old is entrusted to a unscrupulous précepteur or tutor who involves the youth in a swindle and vanishes with the money. <br/>This is a confessional so we learn it all: the narrator soon discovers love and devotes himself to pleasure using the family name to run up accounts everywhere before being deceived and fleeced. M. d'Erigny is furious; Madame intercedes: his debts are paid and he is sent off to exile in a provincial town. He is befriended by a well-connected gentleman but repays this trust with deceit. Besotted with an actress he forges a criminal denunciation of a rival but his scheme is discovered and his in consigned to "une de ces maisons de force" a private prison for the reform of licentious youth. <br/>To escape this close confinement the narrator embarks with a flotilla of colonists bound for the island of C in the new world. His mother's continued good influence follows him across the ocean cushioning him from the worst excesses of a brutal colonial regime amply detailed. Florainville a mistress who has managed her money well comes to the colony to rescue him but falls afoul of the corrupt Intendant and her health fails her. She dies but not before she has made him her legatee. The narrator assists the colonial governor in prosecuting the Intendant and returns to France. He retires to a rural abbey and contemplates his experiences. Before long he becomes the benefactor of a village community and sees it thrive.<br/>Only edition of this little-known work of fiction set partly in the Americas. OCLC records two copies in N.

37257CHIAROSCURO ANONOMYOUS. LA VIERGE ACCOMPAGNEE DE QUELQUES SAINTS after Francesco Mazzuoli Parmigianino. N.P.: n.d. Broadsheet. 11.7 x 8.31 inches. Bartsch 64.24.I. Images of the virgin Mary were very popular for artists of the period. There are two other interpretations of this version by Parmigianino one by Alexand Ghandini and the other by Niccolo Vicentino that are recorded by Bartsch. O the three this is more representative of a Renaissance drawing with a simple and more delicate line block using parallel lines and cross--hatching to prod the shadow effects. The print was made from two blocks using a fairly evenly inked tan for tone. The plate has been damaged with two small areas filled i Despite this serious defect the print itself is of considerable charm and merit. unknown books
