DU FOUILLOUX, Jacques - Lot 84
DU FOUILLOUX, Jacques La Venerie de Iaqves dv Fovillovx Paris, Galiot du Pré, 1573 A REMARKABLE COPY IN CONTEMPORARY VELLUM [Bound at the end:] GRISON, Federic, L'Ecurie du S. Federic Grison gentilhomme napolitain. Paris, 1579 Fifth edition Two works in one in-4 volume (226 x 160mm). Round letters, 32 lines per page. Woodcut title vignette, bands and initials. COLLATION: A4 A-Z4 Aa-Mm4; ã4 a-z4 A-F4 A4 ILLUSTRATION: woodcut frontispiece and 56 figures (La Vénerie), some woodcuts in the second volume. CONTEMPORARY BINDING. Soft vellum with flaps, spine ribbed. Folder, slipcase PROVENANCE: Jean Viti de Wurzburg (handwritten bookplate on title). Creased vellum, stains and small cracks due to use. Some dampstaining, small hole in title, small marginal worm gallery on a few leaves, leaf v2 partly detached. This edition of Du Fouilloux's treatise is the first not to have been printed in Poitiers by the Marnefz family. Thiébaud points out the elegance of its printing in round letters, and its engravings copying those of the original. Among the few curiosities of this edition, we note that "after the four preliminary leaves, we find a second title, in round letters". This is also the first edition in which the extract from Gaston Phébus' book has been inserted (folio 118 ff.). Frédéric Grison's treatise on cavalry, L'Écurie, has been bound after Du Fouilloux's text in this copy. It first appeared in Italian, in Venice, in 1552, before undergoing several editions in French. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Thiébaud, 299-300: "cette édition, en lettres rondes, est fort bien exécutée... édition aussi belle que celles de Poitiers ; elle est extrêmement rare" -- Schwerdt IV, 27 -- Marcel Jeanson, I, n° 190 -- De Futaie en folio, I, pp. 202-203
