Important recueil factice rassemblant six éditions originales et deux traductions en latin publiées à Paris en 1558, par F. Morel et A. Wechel. Tous ces ouvrages, en parfaite condition et à grandes marges, sont d’une insigne rareté. On y trouve les originales des Poemata et des Divers jeux rustiques... de Joachim du Bellay, deux Exhortations de Ronsard accompagnés de leur traduction en latin (par Dorat et Fr. Thory) ainsi que deux poèmes de Michel de L'Hospital, dont un célébrant le mariage de François II et de Marie Stuart.
Exemplaire très pur du poète français Jean Vauquelin de La Fresnaye (1536-1606) qui a établi le recueil.
Très influencé par les poètes de la Pléiade et après avoir suivi les cours de poésies de Jacques Tahureau à Angers, il publia son premier recueil, Les deux premiers livres des Foresteries, en 1555 à Poitiers. Il se lie alors avec ceux du « Cercle de Poitiers », Jean Bastier de la Peruse, Jacques Tahureau, Guillaume Bouchot, Scevole de Sainte-Marthe et surtout Jean-Antoine de Baïf. Admirateur de Ronsard ainsi que de la Pléiade et théoricien reconnu, il intégra la cour d’Henri III qui lui commanda un Art Poétique qui ne fut publié que tardivement, en 1605.
Comme l’indique Jean Balsamo dans la préface de ce catalogue, Jean Paul Barbier-Mueller pourchassa quarante ans durant les « introuvables » Foresteries de Vauquelin de La Fresnaye ». On imagine quelle fut sa satisfaction de dénicher un aussi précieux recueil poétique lui ayant appartenu.
