The essay by Professor George Saintsbury, M.A., is also given, and the whole of the important Notes and Appendix. The illustrations are reproductions from the copper-plates engraved for the Berne edition by Longeuil, Halbou, and other eminent French artists of the eighteenth century' (publisher's note printed on the verso of the half-titles).

Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. Second. Second Freudenberger-illustrated edition. Three volumes. Bern: Nouvelle Société Typographique: 1792. Octavo (7 5/8" x 5 9/16", 193mm x 116mm). [Full collation available.] With three engraved title-page, an engraved frontispiece and 73 engraved plates, plus 72 engraved head-pieces and 72 engraved tail-pieces (integral with the text). Without frontispieces to voll. II & III, as usual. Bound in contemporary red straight-grained morocco with a gilt floral roll border. On the spine, six panels. Title and author gilt to the second, number gilt to the fourth. Gilt roll to the edges of the boards. Gilt roll of grape-vines to the inside dentelle. Turquoise marbled end-papers. All edges of the text-block gilt. Green silk marking ribbons. Some rubbing to the spines, with worm-holes to the hinges of voll. I & III. Altogether a lovely unsophisticated set, with very good margins. Tanning to II.L1-8, II.O2-V2 and III overall, mostly mild but moderate in passages. Pll. 2-6 and 13 of vol. I numbered (3-7, 14; i.e., counting the frontispiece as pl. 1) in ink in an old hand at the lower edge. Marguerite, Queen of Navarre (1492-1549) was a humanist on the level of Castiglione and Erasmus, with whom she corresponded (he more enthusiastic about her than she him). Born to Charles d'Orléans, Count of Angoulême (a great-grandson of Charles V of France), she married (after an unpleasant and unproductive first marriage) Henry II of Navarre in 1526. Her greater stage was, however, the court of her brother, who ruled as François I, one of France's most celebrated kings. There the brother-and-sister court attracted Leonardo da Vinci and Sebastiano Serlio, Rabelais and Ronsard. Marguerite was, perhaps, the more intellectually curious; she was a deep religious thinker, and an exemplary figure in the attempt to reconcile the Reformation through humanist endeavor. The Heptaméron -- modelled on Boccaccio's Decameron, published around 1350; Marguerite died before completing the tenth day, being two stories into the eighth -- which might be rendered "the week book" -- from Greek hepta, seven + hêmera, day -- is a collection of 72 intertwined short stories, most of a distinctly romantic or even bawdy character. These stand in sharp contrast to her works of poetry, which are much more concerned with matters divine. Although the text was brought out 1558 by the humanist Pierre Boaistuau, his editorial pen was rather sharp, rearranging the work and omitting a good deal of the connective tissue between stories. The text has suffered rises and falls through the years; Cohen-de Ricci calls the present edition an "edition incorrecte, qui a surtout le grand défaut de ne pas donner le texte original de la Reine de Navarre." The great triumph of this edition -- a production of the Nouvelle Société Typographique, a Swiss publisher that was until 1779 the Société typographique -- is its illustration. The first edition (1780-1781-1781) is nearly identical, down to the mispagination of vol. I (viz. 166 2161-165, blank, 167 168). Cohen-de Ricci celebrates the images: "les figures, quoique un peu raides, sont très jolies et gravées avec une finesse remarquable." Sigmund Freudenberger (sometimes Freudeberg, with various spellings of the given name; 1745-1801) was a pupil of Boucher, the father of the "estampe galante," a particular type of engraving with frivolous and often erotic undertones. Purchased at Sotheby's Paris 9 November 2001, lot 66, the consignor undesignated outside the name of the sale: "Livres Précieux de la Bibliothèque d'un Amateur Européen." Cohen-deRicci6 680-682.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First. First Freudenberger-illustrated edition. Three volumes. Bern: Nouvelle Société Typographique: 1780-1781-1781. Octavo (vol. I: 7 3/8" x 4 9/16", 188mm x 115mm; voll. II-II: 7 ¼" x 4 ½", 184mm x 113mm). [Full collation available.] With 76 engraved plates (of which 3 are engraved titles) and 72 engraved head-pieces and 72 tail-pieces integral with the text. Collated completed against Cohen-de Ricci (i.e., suggesting that no half-title was issued for vol. II). Vol. I bound differently to voll. II and II. Vol. I: red morocco with triple gilt fillet borders, corner fleurons and corner floral ornaments. On the spine, five raised bands. In the panels, fleurons gilt within gilt scrollwork. Title ("HEPTAMERO/ FRANÇOIS") gilt to brown morocco in the second panel. Number blind (?) to the third panel. Gilt fillet to the edges of the boards. Gilt inside dentelle. Blue end-papers. All edges of the text-block gilt. Voll. II-III: red morocco with triple gilt fillet borders. On the spine, five raised bands. In the panels, acorns within gilt scrollwork. Title ("HEPTAMERON/FRANCAIS") gilt to green morocco in the second panel. Number gilt to green morocco in the third. Gilt roll to the edges of the boards. Blue end-papers. All edges of the text-block gilt. Blue silk marking ribbons. Some cracking to the head-pieces and peripheral scuffing. Fore-corners bumped and worn, especially the first volume. Scattered marks of soiling (ink?), and passages of tanning and foxing, but generally very good. Mild offsetting to the plates. Early XIXc (?) ownership inscription of "A. Drouault" to the recto of the first white leaf in each volume. Numeration ("T. 1er") in ink manuscript to the title-page of vol. I. Ink purchase record to the verso of the first free end-paper of vol. II: "2 vol. ¢ v#".

The great triumph of this edition -- an early production of the Nouvelle Société Typographique, a Swiss publisher that was until 1779 the Société typographique -- is its illustration. Cohen-de Ricci finds kinder words for the images: "les figures, quoique un peu raides, sont très jolies et gravées avec une finesse remarquable." Sigmund Freudenberger (sometimes Freudeberg, with various spellings of the given name; 1745-1801) was a pupil of Boucher, the father of the "estampe galante," a particular type of engraving with frivolous and often erotic undertones. Despite the (small) difference in bindings, it does not appear that this a married set. Rather, it seems likely that the first volume was bound on its publication in 1780 and the second and third volumes were bought together and bound similarly -- perhaps even by Drouault (André? Anne?). Drouault is an old family of the Loire Atlantique. The hand of the signature is at any rate early. Cohen-de Ricci 680-682.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. First. THE de BOURDIGALLE--DOUBLE--QUENTIN-BAUCHART--RAHIR--ODIOT--BURTON COPY. Two volumes. Lyon: Jean de Tournes, 1547. First edition, Mortimer B. Octavo (6 ½" x 4", 161mm x 101mm). [Full collation available.] Bound in later (late-XVIIIc?) polished red morocco with a triple gilt fillet border and corner rosettes. On the spine, five raised bands. Title gilt to the second panel. Gilt fillet to the edges of the boards. Gilt inside dentelle, marbled end-papers. All edges of the text-block gilt. Green silk marking ribbons. A very little rubbing at the extremities. Vol. I bowed. The odd passage of foxing, perhaps based on soiling. Altogether a lovely, unusually tall set (>25mm at the lower edge, with the lower deckle preserved at, e.g., I.F4-6). Book-labels to the front paste-down of vol. I (top-to-bottom): Léopold Double (gilt armorial to oval red morocco, "EX MUSEO L DOUBLE"); Ernest Quentin-Bauchart ("EX/LIBRIS/QUENTIN/BAUCHART" gilt to oval red morocco); paper label of "A.W." (beneath a lion rampant couped atop a torse, within a beveled triple-fillet rectangular frame), completed in ink manuscript "850"; Edouard Rahir ("Ex/Libris//Edouard/RAHIR" on an open book gilt to octagonal red morocco). To the verso of the first free end-paper of vol. I (top-to-bottom): Ernest Odiot (oval paper label with a cipher of two E's reversed around an O), Henri Burton ("EX-LIBRIS/HENRI BURTON/LYON-GENÈVE" gilt to rectangular red morocco). On the title-page, ink-stamps "[?] De Bourdigalle" with the motto "Non est mortale quod opto." flanking the date. Faded inscription to the head of the title-page in an early (XVIc?) hand, perhaps beginning "domus pro." i.e., indicating an institutional ownwerhsip. Labels of Double, Quentin-Bauchard and "A.W" only to the front paste-down of vol. II. Marguerite, Queen of Navarre (1492-1549) was a humanist on the level of Castiglione and Erasmus, with whom she corresponded (he more enthusiastic about her than she him). Born to Charles d'Orléans, Count of Angoulême (a great-grandson of Charles V of France), she married (after an unpleasant and unproductive first marriage) Henry II of Navarre in 1526. Her greater stage was, however, the court of her brother, who ruled as François I, one of France's most celebrated kings. There the brother-and-sister court attracted Leonardo da Vinci and Sebastiano Serlio, Rabelais and Ronsard. The collection of poems she wrote as meditations and as intellectual exercises is in the present set published for the first time, guided through the press by her valet de chambre Symon Silvius, alias Jean de la Haye, who was himself a humanist, having translated Marsilio Ficino's commentary on the Symposium of Plato into French. The title is a play on the author's name; "marguerites" are daisies. Collections of poems have long been referred to as garlands: florilegium and anthology. Thus we might render the title as Flowers of the flower among princesses. The most famous of the works is the first, "Le miroir de l'âme pecheresse" or Mirror of the sinful soul, first published in 1531 after the death of her only son, Jean, at the age of six months. Marguerite's humanism and worldliness are on display in the Suyte (i.e., vol. II). Here she writes a history of nymphs and satyrs in the mode of Ovid, epistles to her brother the King of France, eight portraits of courtiers -- four ladies and four gentlemen, even a comedy and a farce. Perhaps the most consequential is the last long work of the collection, La Coche (The Coach). Marguerite wrote it in 1541 while setting up a marriage for her daughter, and commissioned a series of illustrations from Bernard Salomon (1506-1561), a Lyonnais miniaturist who often worked with de Tournes. A rich and polyvalent expression of the cultivation of a noble lady, printed by one of the great Lyonnais humanist publishers, the Marguerites has long been a bibliographic prize.
