AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very rare first edition of this heroic-comic and satirical poem published anonymously but attributed to the French satirical poet Balthazar de Bonnecorse (1632–1706).
The work unfolds as a lively and biting verse satire on the hypocrisies and literary and social mores of its time, structured in thirteen discourses and ten cantos. Fictional edition, published in Marseille. Cf. Barbier vol. 6, col. 934; BN, vol. XV, cols. 982-3.
