Les Vingt livres de Constantin Cæsar. Lyon : Thibauld Payan, Ian d'Ogerolles, 1557.

Très bel exemplaire en maroquin de ce classique sur l'agriculture.



Cinquième et dernière édition. La traduction en français du juriste Antoine Pierre, dit aussi Pierre de Rieux suit le texte de la première édition latine (Bâle, 1538). Compilation de travaux sur l'agronomie grecque et latine, désignée sous le nom de géoponiques, l'encyclopédie rurale a été remaniée et augmentée par Cassianus Bassus (VIe ou VIIe siècle). L'ouvrage est réputé pour renfermer quatre livres entiers sur la vigne (IV à VIII) ; soit les plus amples informations qui nous soient parvenues sur la vinification. Quelques recettes de cuisine, confiture d'olives, confection de la sauce appelée garum. Plusieurs livres concernent la chasse et la pêche.



De la bibliothèque de Richard Herber (1774-1833), dont la collection de 150 000 volumes était “entreposée” dans huit bâtiments en Angleterre et sur le Continent. Brunet II, 1540 ; Vicaire, 203 ; Baudrier IV, 273 ; FVB-9040 et 9041. Quatre exemplaires recensés : Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, Bibliothèque d'Épernay, Delaware University Library, BnF ; Gultlingen, Bibliographie des livres imprimés à Lyon XIV, 2015, p. 13, n° 19.



In-16 (122 x 67 mm). Reliure signée Koehler : maroquin vert, filet à froid encadrant les plats, dos à nerfs, dentelle intérieure dorée, tranches dorées (charnières et coiffes très légèrement frottées).

Provenance : Richard Heber (cachet de la bibliothèque) ; Elzéar Pin (ex-libris), homme politique de la IIIe République.
