First editions of these two works. Rare. L'hérésie détruite is noted as second edition.
Contemporary full calf binding. Spine with raised bands decorated in grotesque style. Red morocco title label. Gilt ruling to boards. Edges gilt. Upper headcap worn. Upper joint cracked at head and lower joint cracked at foot. A dark stain on lower board.
Recent manuscript annotations on first endpaper, noting that L'allée de la seringue, a satirical poem, is in imitation of Boileau's Lutrin, that the Fradine is also a satire against an apothecary, and that L'hérésie détruite is a celebration of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The last text, in prose, is a strange staging of the Gods of Parnassus and symbols of literature who will crown Madame Deshoulières as the tenth muse. The text is dedicated to Mademoiselle de Scudéry, in competition with Madame Deshoulières, as she also wished to be considered a muse of letters.
Eustache Lenoble (1643-1711), Baron de Tenelière, is well known for his political satires and other curious productions that he created (most of his works are rather rare).
