Innocenzio RINGHIERI, Jean LOUVEAU
Le dialogue de la vie et de la mort
1865|-|relié
Original manuscript of this translation of Ringhieri's work (in Tuscan) by Jean Louveau, published in Lyon by Antoine Vollant in 1562. Transcription by Abbé Delaporte.
Elegant manuscript on blue laid paper, in black ink. The epistle to the pastor of Vaugirard in Nantes is dated 1865. Fine, very legible handwriting.
Contemporary half red morocco binding. Spine with raised bands decorated with 5 fleurons. Gilt title. Light rubbing. Good copy.
The transcriber possessed a copy of the 1562 edition; the first had appeared in 1557. Seven dialogues bring Life and Death face to face in an exchange that owes more to Christian stoicism, to a philosophical and humanist meditation rather than to theology, which is largely absent from these dialogues.
