MAGNY, Olivier de (1529-1561). Les Amours d’Olivier de Magny Quercinois et quelques odes de luy. Ensemble un recueil d’aucunes œuvres de Monsieur Salel Abbé de Saint Cheron, non encore veues. Paris : Estienne Groulleau, 1553.

Édition originale du premier recueil de vers d'Olivier de Magny. Issu d'une riche famille bourgeoise de Cahors, Magny entre au service d'Hugues Salel, abbé de Saint-Chéron et poète en vue sous François Ier, puis de Jean de Saint-Marcel, maître des requêtes ordinaires du roi et proche de Diane de Poitiers. Parrainé par Ronsard, Jodelle, Baïf, Muret, Dorat ou encore Belleau, qui apportent chacun une pièce en début d'ouvrage, le jeune poète livre un ensemble de 102 sonnets et 18 odes, certaines dédiées à des personnages importants. Il dédie le recueil à la "Castianire", mystérieuse muse dont l'identité reste incertaine. Son portrait gravé, attribué à Nicolas Denisot, figure au recto du deuxième feuillet. Désireux de s'attirer les faveurs du roi après la mort de son premier protecteur, Magny publiera la même année un Hymne sur la naissance de Madame Marguerite de France.
