Lot 115 | COVARRUBIAS, Pedro de (m. 1530).
COVARRUBIAS, Pedro de (m. 1530).

Remedio de jugadores. Burgos : Alonso de Melgar, 1519.

Rare édition originale. Covarrubias y expose des 'reglas y preceptos venatorios' pour diverses méthodes de chasse, qu’il étudie d’un point de vue théologique. Il aborde aussi des animaux plus dangereux, et ceux qui les affrontaient dans l’arène. La tauromachie est abordée, et condamnée, mais moins en raison de la cruauté de la mort de l’animal qu’en raison des risques qu’elle fait encourir aux hommes. Il évoque enfin d’autres loisirs, comme les échecs, les jeux de cartes et de dés, ou encore la danse. USTC 335882 ; Gutierrez de la Vega pp. 134-35; Palau 64162



In-8 (183 x 130 mm). Grand bois héraldique au feuillet a1r, 3 lettrines historiées gravées sur bois (rogné très court, moitié inférieure de la marge extérieure du premier feuillet restaurée, quelques restaurations au dernier feuillet de texte, mouillure verticale au feuillet a3).

Reliure moderne : maroquin pourpre, décor à froid sur les plats, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés, lettre dorée, gardes de papier marbré, tranches dorées (dos très insolé), étui.

Provenance : nombreuses notes de lecture marginales anciennes, en espagnol -- Manuel de Foronda y Gómez (1907-1969 ; ex-libris).



Rare first edition. Covarrubias provides 'reglas y preceptos venatorios' for the different methods of hunting, which are examined from a theological viewpoint. He also treats of more ferocious animals and those who fought them in the roman circus. Bull-fighting is condemned on the grounds of danger to humans rather than compassion for the bull. Among the other recreations considered are chess, cards, dice and dancing.
