Foreign Literature

Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

Our Great Moderns

A traversal through the works of those who have been writing, imagining, and creating since the late twentieth century. This selection brings together pieces that mirror the shifts of an era — literary gestures, singular voices, new perspectives.

  • Joseph DU CHESNE Sieur de la VIOLETTE

Le grand miroir du monde

Pour les héritiers d'Eustache Vignon|à Lyon 1593|11.50 x 17.50 cm|relié

Sold
⬨ 46771
Seconde édition, très rare, après la première parue en 1587. Cette édition est augmentée du sixième livre par l'auteur et des commentaires de Simon Goulart à la fin de chacun des six livres. Texte en italiques.
Reliure en plein parchemin. Dos muet. Traces manuscrites sur le plat supérieur. Traces de lacets. Travaux de vers au milieu de l'ouvrage, dans les marges, du feuillet 256 au feuillet 299 (perte parfois de lettres). Mouillure pâle en fin d'ouvrage en marge.
Vaste poème didactique à caractère encyclopédique, dans le sillage de Du Bartas, dont Du Chesne était le disciple. Le sujet n'est rien moins que les merveilles du vaste univers : "J'ay prétendu en ce mien miroir, faire voir aux yeux d'un chacun les plus grandes merveilles, qui sont en tout ce grand univers." Le premier livre traite de Dieu, le second des actions de Dieu, les troisième des anges et des faux magiciens, prophètes et devins..., le quatrième s'occupe de la considération des oeuvres de Dieu, le cinquième du monde physique, le sixième des 4 éléments et notamment des oiseaux. A la fois Chimiste et alchimiste, Du Chesne était un célèbre médecin, disciple de Paracelse ; après l'Edit de nantes, il revint de Suisse pour devenir le physicien de Henri IV et prit une part active dans la guerre entre les médecins catholiques se réclamant de Galien et les protestants se réclamant de Paracelse.
Ex-libris gravé du XIXe aux armes de De Verdon.
