La Fameuse Compaignie de la Lesine, ou Alesne. C’est-à-dire la Manière d’espargner, acquerir et conserver… Paris : Abraham Saugrain, 1604. [Relié à la suite :] Continuation des canons et statuts de la Fameuse Compaignie… – Nouvelle consulte des femmes. Pour estre admises en la Comfrairie de la Lesine…. – Notables advertissemens aux confreres… Même lieu, même date.

Édition originale des traductions françaises des célèbres facéties italiennes raillant la frugalité.



On ignore l’auteur de cet ouvrage, qui a parfois été attribué à Francesco Maria Vialardi, Tommaso Buoni ou Pietro Strozzi. Oberlé en souligne l’importance : « Ce livre intéresse au plus haut point la gastronomie, l’art de la table, les femmes et les mœurs en général. […] Toutes ces dissertations, révélatrices des mœurs du temps, n’ont qu’un seul propos : épargner ». La Continuation, la Nouvelle consulte et les Notables avertissements ont tous une page de titre séparée, mais des signatures et une pagination continues. Oberlé Fastes, 367 (pour l’édition de 1618) ; Vicaire, 196 ; Barbier, II, 427 ; Gay, II, 230.



4 ouvrages en un volume in-12 (139 x 80 mm). (Fameuse Compaignie : page de titre restaurée, manque angulaire au f. L6. Manque f. T6 (blanc). Trou angulaire aux 5 derniers feuillets du volume.) Reliure du XIXe siècle : demi-veau blond à coins, dos à nerfs orné, pièce de titre de maroquin rouge, tranches peigne (trou de ver à un mors, menus frottements).
