Beschreibung

One of the earliest prophetic collections to be published in France in an undated edition from the 1520s which draws upon Savonarola and other writers. Quarter marbled paper covered boards over calf spine from 1799; ticket of 'Librairie Normande. Caen' on the first pastedown. The printed text is preceded by 4 manuscript pages which explains how the repairs to this volume were based on a copy in the library at Chartres. The book's owner sets out the provenance for this particular volume which came from 'la Bibliotheque de M. Beaucousin avocat a Parlement à Paris savant litterateur.' At the same time as the binding was restored and additional endpapers inserted the volume had a couple of paper repairs made to the first leaf with manuscript facsimile to parts of A1 and A2, old damp staining to the final few leaves: the Mirabilis Liber collates complete A1-O4. The Sensuyt has repairs to C2, C6-8 and D1-4 along the head of the pages with manuscript facsimile reproducing a few lines in each. The Sensuyt collates complete a1-d4. Staining to many leaves, especially around the corners of leaves close to the foreedge at the tail of leaves. Woodcut initials throughout. Colophon reads: 'On les ved a lelephãt en la rue saict Jaqs'; OCLC: 42414850 - suggests 1520s as date. An important collection, the first part, written in Latin, printed in two-column Gothic characters, contains items drawn largely from the manuscripts of the Saint Victor library : Prophecies of Ben Echobi, of Ste Brigitte, of St Sévère, of St Vincent, of G. Baugé and of Savonarola… The second part, written in French and printed in Gothic letters is set in the year 600 with allusions to the events of the Revolution. It ends with a prophecy of the battle of Pavia and the captivity of Francis I. Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item.
