Description

PELETIER DU MANS (Jacques).

L'Art poetique d'Horace, translated into Vers François. Printed in Paris by Michel de Vascosan, 1545. In-8, black morocco, triple gilt fillet, gilt coat of arms in center, ornate spine, slipcase (G. Plumelle). First dated edition, in decasyllabic verse, of this translation of Horace's Epistle to the Pisons, often called De arte poetica. It is dedicated to Cretofle Perot, seneschal of Maine, whose dedication constitutes a plea in favor of the French language; in particular, the poet denounces the disdain & contentment of our native tongue, which we leave behind to maintain the Greek & Latin languages, consuming all our time in the exercise of icelles. Elegantly printed in italics, by Vascosan. Jacques Peletier du Mans (1517-1582), a member of the Pléiade, influenced Ronsard and Du Bellay, and occupies an important place in the history of 16th-century literature. Bound in the collector's coat of arms. Minor restoration to the corner tips of a few leaves. J. P. Barbier-Mueller, III, n°1. - Tchemerzine, t. V, p. 144. - Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire..., n°606.
