AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare original edition of this poem by Jean Marot, introduced and annotated by Georges Guiffrey.
Decorated with a beautiful engraving of Ligny depicting the poet offering his book to Queen Anne of Brittany.
This poem offers a curious subject for study. It features a mixture of new words, some still used today, others ephemeral, most borrowed from the Greek language. The work is preceded by a fine historical study on the composition of the work and the birth of Anne of Brittany.
Carefully printed edition on laid paper from Louis Perrin's presses in Lyon.
Bound in brown half-leather with corner pieces, with gold fillets along the covers and corners, spine with raised bands (faded gold decoration). Gilded head.
In good overall condition, the binding shows some flaws: rubbing on the edges and corners, a stain on the upper corner, and a worn spine. Interior is fresh and clean, with few foxing spots.
Jean Marot (Mathieu, near Caen, circa 1450 - Paris, late 1526 - early 1527) is a French poet from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, considered among the Grands Rhétoriqueurs. Jean Marot appears to have despised his surname and signed as 'Jean des Marestz'.
His good conduct and some verses he had composed earned him the protection of Anne of Brittany, who was then the wife of Louis XII; he became her secretary in 1506 and her official poet.
