No place or printer, 1581.. FIRST EDITION 1581, French text, in 2 parts, small 8vo, approximately 160 x 95 mm, 6½ x 4 inches, pages: [16], 1-647, [13] last leaf blank, bound in full red morocco, with 5 gilt raised bands, richly gilt in 4 compartments, 2 gilt lettered labels, bright decorative gilt dentelles (turn ins), triple gilt ruled borders to covers, all edges gilt, earlier marbling to edges slightly showing through the gilt, marbled endpapers. Manuscript notes in French filling one side of the original front endpaper, light browning to Preface pages, intermittent pale browning or light staining, some upper margins trimmed, tiny piece missing from top corner of pages 49, 59, and 481, another missing from lower corner of page 265 (paper flaw), not affecting any text, small tear in fore-edge margin of page 294, just touching the first letters of 4 lines, neatly repaired with no loss to letters. A very good copy. The work is a virulent satirical attack on the Catholic church and the clergy, the nobility, the government and politics and the management of the finances of France. The three "perles" are the Word of God, the Aristocracy, and the Third Estate. See: Brunet, Manuel Du Libraire, Volume 1, page 1441; Adams, Catalogue of Books Printed on the Continent of Europe 1501-1600 in Cambridge Libraries, Volume 1, page 95, B 219; Kress Library, Volume 1, page 11, No. 143.

Le Cabinet du roy de France, dans lequel il y a trois perles précieuses d'inestimable valeur... S.l., [Genève] : [Guillaume de Laimarie ?], 1582. 1 vol. (125 x 192 mm), [8] ff, 647 pp, [5] ff, red morocco, initials CR (for Paul Couturier du Royas) gilded in the center of the boards, ribbed spine, gilt roulette inside, gilt edges (modern binding).First edition, dedicated to Henri III. The book is considered to be one of the great polemical texts of the 16th century, of great interest for French history.
The author, a Huguenot, tried to show King Henry III that he could use three "magic pearls" to remedy the wreckage of his kingdom: they represented the Word of God, the true Nobility and the Third Estate, hidden in a jewel box that was none other than the kingdom of France. In this way, he revealed the true mores of his time, denouncing the possessions of the clergy and the vices of the nobility, discussing polygamy and prostitution, and revealing a number of secrets relating to the king and the… Read More

BASILEAE: APUD NIC. EPISCOPIUM IUN., 1558. In 16. Dim. 17x12 cm. Pp. 32 (n.n.)+350+2 (n.n.). Rara edizione del 1558 di quest'opera scritta da Cristophe Longueil (1488-1522) umanista francescano. Nel 1517 Longueil strinse amicizia con Pietro Bembo e Jacopo Sadoleto ma questo non impedì che nei suoi confronti si scatenasse una forte campagna diffamatoria tanto che fu costretto a trafserirsi a Padova dove si spense. Ammiratore incondizionato di Cicerone, fu un grande propagandista del ciceronismo prima in Francia, poi a Roma. Questo suo epistolario non è una mera imitazione della produzione ciceroniana, ma denota una ricerca stilistica ed un'eleganza espositiva di rara freschezza e vivacità. Nella prima parte la sua vita, poi l'epistolario. Numerose note manoscritte all'interno. Marca editoriale all'ultima carta. Titolo manoscritto al taglio inferiore.

Description:
LUGDUNI: APUD SEB. GRYPHIUM, 1548. In 16. Dim. 17x11 cm. Pp. 402+(14). Edizione del 1548 di questa nota opera letteraria scritta da Adriano Castellesi (ca 1485-1521) nato a Corneto (antico nome di Tarquinia) detto anche Adriano da Corneto. Castellesi fu grechista, ebraista, autore di poemetti, opere di stile, grammatiche e filosofico-teologiche. Espertissimo di affari, si arricchì enormemente destando in tal modo l'invidia di Cesare Borgia che tentò di avvelenarlo. Andato in esilio e ritornato in patria all'avvento di Leone X, dovette ritornarvi perchè accusato di aver preso parte alla congiura del Cardinale Petrucci. Da questo momento in poi non si sa più nulla di lui: sembra che sia stato assassinato a scopo di furto da uno dei suoi servitori. Il volume è un'opera didattica latina che riporta termini utilizzati in sentenze classiche latine. Alla fine risulta molto interessante il poema sulla caccia organizzata dal Cardinale Ascanio Sforza nei pressi…
