€ 600 – 800
BALINGHEM, Antoine de (1571-1630).

Apresdinees et Propos de table contre l'excez au boire, et au manger, pour vivre longuement, sainement (...) Avec douze propositions pour passer plaisamment & honestement les jours des Quaresmeaux... Saint-Omer : Charles Boscard, 1624-1625.

Exemplaire en vélin ivoire de l'époque de la seconde édition, en partie originale.



Elle est notamment augmentée d'une seconde partie : Douze propositions pour passer plaisamment et honnestement les jours des quaresmeaux, précédée d'une page de titre et datée 1625. On y dénonce les plaisirs sensuels qui transforment l'homme en bête, voire “en sale pourceau” et conduisent à la peine éternelle dans l'autre monde. Belle impression provinciale de Charles Boscard, deuxième imprimeur établi à Saint-Omer ; actif de 1610 à 1627 à l'enseigne de la maison Loyola (Labarre, Répertoire bibliographique du XVIIe siècle, XX, Saint-Omer, 1996, n° 243). Originaire de Saint-Omer, moraliste du Grand Siècle, plus proche de l'ascétisme que de la gaudriole, le père jésuite Antoine de Balinghem se consacra tout entier à la prédication et à l'enseignement. Vicaire se méprend lorsqu'il mentionne : “ouvrage facétieux et plaisant contre le vice d'ivrognerie et les ivrognes”. Pour mieux stigmatiser l'intempérance et les excès de table, le Jésuite pratique la maïeutique, cet art d'accoucher les esprits. Les dialogues confrontent les points de vue du médecin, du théologien, de l'historien ou du philosophe, émaillés d'une foule d'anecdotes parfois plaisantes. Brunet, I, 626 ; Rahir, Bibliothèque de l'amateur, p. 303 ; Vicaire, 62 ; Oberlé, Fritsch, 72 ; Simon, Bibliotheca Gastronoica, n° 442 ; Cagle, 59 (pour la première édition de 1615) ; Bitting, 26.



2 parties en un volume in-8 (154 x 95 mm). (Titre plus court en marge supérieure, piqûres éparses, brunissures dans l'ensemble du volume). Vélin ivoire de l'époque.



Second edition, with parts of the text published for the first time, in a contemporary vellum binding.
