The first edition was published in 1578 in Geneva. Listen to Brunet II, 1076, on this subject: 'This book was spicy published in Geneva in 1578, and not Paris, as has been said many bibliographers. The author has provided his immense erudition, but at the same time has allowed some jokes are a bit bold, which won him a green semonse Council Geneva, following which he thought it prudent to leave ... There are two other Antwerp, 1579 and 1583, in 16, which are scarcely less rare than the first, and the price is quite high. ' Full Calf nineteenth environment. Back to nerves decorated in the style of a seventeenth binding. Friction. Lack the right of the sheet 97 with loss of some letters in the last word bottom corner. Dialogues satirical, mocking the courtship behavior, modes of dress and languages (fashion speak Italian French words for example, or the conventions of language on securities). Henri Estienne is hiding under the name of Jean Franchet. The humor and mockery are often pushed very far, and all reads with great relish. The two dialogues are preceded by poems addressed to no less funny and satirical courtiers. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
