Le Plat de carnaval ou Les Beignets, apprêtés par Guillaume Bonnepâte, pour remettre en appétit ceux qui l'ont perdu. A Bonne-Huile, chez Feu-Clair, rue de la Poêle, à la Pomme de Reinette. [Paris : Barraud, 1802].

Rare édition originale de cet ouvrage érotico-gastronomico-scatologique.



Curieux recueil de facéties érotiques et scatologiques, divisé non en chapitres mais en "beignets", livrant le récit d'un festin en 1470 et contenant une "notice de quelques livres qui doivent nécessairement entrer dans la bibliothèque d'un Homme de Bon Goût" (il s'agit en fait d'une liste d'ouvrages scatologiques). Le texte est parsemé d'énigmes, bizarreries typographiques et nombreux jeux de mots : la page de titre indique ainsi la date de "dix-huit cent d'oeufs", tandis que le premier beignet narre les amours de l'Ange Lure et de la Fée Lure. L'esprit grivois de l'ouvrage tient sans doute au métier de l'auteur, acteur de vaudeville. Oberlé, Fastes, 384 ; Vicaire, 103.



In-8 (170 x 105 mm). Illustré d'un frontispice gravé représentant un bouffon donnant un os à un chien (titre légèrement taché, feuillet a1 déchiré avec manque au coin inférieur sans atteinte au texte, nombreux feuillets plus courts en marge inférieure ou déchirés au coin inférieur, légères taches éparses). Reliure du XIXe siècle : demi-veau, pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, dos à nerfs orné.



Rare first edition, printed in a small number, of this book gathering erotic and scatological texts, as well as numerous riddles, typographical quirks and puns.
