Lot 110 | GAUCHET, Claude (1540-circa 1620).
GAUCHET, Claude (1540-circa 1620).

Le Plaisir des champs : divisé en quatre livres selon les quatre saisons de l'année. Paris : Abel L'Angelier, 1604.

Un recueil poétique de la Renaissance consacré à la vie rurale et la chasse : bel exemplaire en maroquin de Trautz-Bauzonnet.



Seconde édition, en partie originale. Elle est dédiée à Hercule de Rohan, grand-veneur de France. Aussi rare que l'édition originale de 1583, elle a été amplement augmentée, déduction faite de passages scabreux et d'allusions aux événements politiques de l'époque. Le regretté Genevois Jean-Paul Barbier-Mueller (1930-2016) se désolait que sa Bibliothèque poétique ne comportât aucune des deux éditions, alors que sa collection gravitait autour de la Pléiade dont Claude Gauchet fut un satellite. Poète et aumônier des derniers Valois et de Henri IV, Claude Gauchet vivait à la Cour et dans son prieuré rural ; il chante la vie rustique dans ce petit traité d'économie rurale versifié où la chasse tient une part prépondérante. Rahir, Bibliothèque de l'amateur p. 437 ; Simon, Bibliotheca gastronomica, n° 736 ; Balsamo & Simonin, Abel L'Angelier, 2002, n° 398 ; Thiébaud, 447 ; Barbier-Mueller, Dictionnaire des poètes français de la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle III, 2016, pp. 372-386 ; Oberlé, Fritsch, 515 (pour la réédition de 1879).



In-4 (225 x 155 mm). (Infimes taches éparses.) Reliure signée Trautz-Bauzonnet : maroquin rouge, dos à nerfs finement orné à petits fers, triple filet doré encadrant les plats, dentelle intérieure, tranches dorées.

Provenance : Henri Gallice (1854-1930), propriétaire de la maison de champagne Perrier-Jouët (ex-libris) ; Marcel Jeanson (1885-1942) qui fit l'acquisition de la collection cynégétique de Henri Gallice (Cat. I, Monte-Carlo, 1987, n° 258).



Second edition, this copy finely bound in red morocco by Trautz-Bauzonnet.
