Lot 25 | MOLIÈRE, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, dit (1622-1673)
MOLIÈRE, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, dit (1622-1673)
L'Escole des femmes. Comédie. Paris : Guillaume de Luyne 1663.
Édition originale à la belle chaîne de provenances. Dans son "Répertoire du théâtre français imprimé au XVIIe siècle" (n°6359), Alain Riffaud donne à l'erreur de pagination l'explication suivante : "comme l'atelier avait oublié de composer le début de l’acte V, à cause d’un saut du même au même, d’une tirade d’Horace à une autre, l’atelier a dû cartonner un feuillet D1, qui s’ajoute au cahier D, et qui dédouble la pagination 73-74". Tchemerzine, IV, p. 774 ; Guibert, I, 122.

In-16 (148 x 88 mm), de 6 ff. dont le frontispice et 93 pp. (discrètes restaurations à quelques feuillets, réparation en marge intérieure du titre). Frontispice par François Chauveau. Reliure janséniste de Chambolle-Duru en maroquin rouge, gardes de papier marbré, dentelle, roulette et filets dorés en encadrement intérieur, tranches dorées, étui.
Provenance : ex-libris Jules Lemaître (1853-1914 ; sa vente, 1917, n°168) -- ex-libris Alfred Lindeboom (sa vente, 1925, n°255) -- ex-libris François Périer (1919-2002 ; sa vente, 2008, n°2) -- ex-libris Philippe Cornuaille (né en 1953).

First edition of The School for Wives, one of Molière's finest theatrical comedies, first staged on 26 December 1662. The present copy has been part of several important librairies.
