Édition originale.

Originaire du Forez; Laval fréquenta le cercle de la maréchale de Retz et devint géographe du roi, succedant à son beau-père Nicolas de Nicolaï. Grand connaisseur de la poésie transalpine, son imitation de l'Arioste est suivie de 31 sonnets. « Cet ouvrage devint si rare que Guillaume Colletet, un siècle après la parution, n'en connaissait plus que la réédition parisienne de 1597 » (N. Ducimetière).



Magnifique exemplaire réglé, sur grand papier, relié en vélin doré.

La magnifique reliure était naguère attribuée à Claude Picques (actif jusqu’en août 1574). Néanmoins, elle a été exécutée par l'un des meilleur ateliers parisiens de l’époque. USTC 49759 (6 exemplaires recensés, tous en France) ; J. P. Barbier-Mueller, MBP, IV-3, 30 ; N. Ducimetière, Mignonne…, 69 ; Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire…, 453. Renouard, Fascicule Breyer, n°29 : l'exemplaire de la BnF est incomplet de deux feuillets ; Longeon, Les écrivains forésiens du XVIe siècle, pp. 392 et 399.



In-8 (172 x 107 mm). Édition originale. Vignette au titre, bandeaux et lettrines. Reliure de l’époque : vélin souple à rabats, large décor à grands fers en écoinçons et plaque centrale azurés, semé de petits fers floraux, rabats ornés d’une roulette dorée, dos lisse orné d’un décor de petits fers ovales dorés, tranches dorées, boite moderne de maroquin bleu nuit à décor armorié (exemplaire grand de marges, petite et discrète restauration au dos et au coin inférieur gauche du second plat, défaut de papier en marge inférieure du feuillet fiii). Provenance : signature manuscrite de l’époque, non identifiée, au dernier feuillet.
