Lot 9 | CHOLIÈRES, Jean Dagoneau, seigneur de (circa 1509-1592)
Estimate value
€ 700 – 1 000
Exemplaire bien établi par Lortic de ce curieux ouvrage. « Le seigneur de Cholières n’a laissé sur sa vie que peu de détails, mais son oeuvre parle pour lui: les entretiens sur toutes sortes de questions que renferment ses Matinees (1585) et ses Après-dinees (1587) nous montrent un savant préoccupé de philosophie, de chimie, d’astronomie et de toutes les connaissances humaines. C’était un gentilhomme érudit et poète, s’adonnant à l’étude et se consacrant tout entier aux sciences, aux lettres, aux arts libéraux. Il aborde dans ses deux recueils aussi bien les questions de médecine que de droit, l’astrologie que les moeurs du temps. Les colloques auxquels il nous convie, tout en étant riches de renseignements sur l’époque où ils se déroulent, sont autant de prétextes à faire jaillir l’humour et le non-conformisme d’un humaniste qui ne prétendait être qu’un modeste élève de maistre François Rabelais » (Trivotel et Lacroix dans l'édition de 1879 des Oeuvres).
Cette édition des Aprèsdisnées serait la troisième, devancée par une édition l'année précédente, et la supposée originale, que Tchemerzine date de 1585 d'après le privilège d'un exemplaire sans page de titre. Brunet, I, col. 1849 ; Tchemerzine, II, p.370.
In-12 (134 x 78 mm). Marque de l'imprimeur au titre. Bandeaux, lettrines, fleurons (quelques piqûres en début et fin de volume). Reliure de Lortic en maroquin rouge janséniste, tranches dorées sur marbrure (tache au premier plat). Provenance : ex-libris d'Antoine Mouradian, à sa devise "On abuse du vrai".
Good copy of this curious book, bound by Lortic.
