LAUDUN (Pierre de).

La Franciade. Paris, Pour Anthoine du Brueil, 1604. In-12, midnight-blue morocco, triple gilt fillet, ornate spine, interior lace, gilt edges (David). First edition of this heroic poem inspired by Ronsard's Franciade. The work opens with an ode pindarique addressed to Henri IV, and continues with a warning from Robert Delaudun, the author's uncle, aumônier du Roy, Principal of the Collège de Narbonne: he explains that the manuscript of this Franciade had been languishing for five or six years in his nephew's drawer, who was, we learn, so disgusted by the poor reception given to his earlier publications (the poems and L'Art poétique) that he no longer wished to divulge any of his writings. A fine copy, with a relay title dated 1604 instead of 1603. J. P. Barbier-Mueller, IV-3, n°29. - Des Valois à Henri IV, cat. Berès, n°190. - Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire..., n°452.
