RONSARD, Pierre de (1524-1585). Epithalame d’Antoine de Bourbon, et Ianne de Navarre par Pierre de Ronsard Vandomois. Paris : Imprimerie de [Michel de] Vascosan, 1549.



Édition originale. Seule édition séparée de la prémière oeuvre imprimée de Ronsard.

L'ode de 130 vers célèbre l'union de Jeanne d'Albret, princesse de Navarre, et d'Antoine de Bourbon, duc de Vendôme, le 20 octobre 1548. Ce texte fut publié souvent simultanément avec la version latine de la pièce l'Epithalamion. Au titre, le nom de Ronsard est orthographié « Ronsart ». Cette rarissime plaquette, "si elle n’abrite pas une œuvre de grande qualité littéraire, n’en demeure pas moins très émouvante, témoignage précieux des premiers pas, encore hésitants, d’un immense génie de la poésie française" (N. Ducimetière).



Exemplaire à belles marges des bibliothèques Ruble, Rodocanachi et Maus. Le recensement des exemplaires existants fut longtemps aléatoire. Encore aujourd’hui, USTC recense 4 exemplaires (BnF, Bibliothèque de Pau, Houghton Library et British library). Le census de la BnF ajoute ceux de la bibliothèque de Berne et de la Herzog August Bibliothek à Wolfenbüttel, en Allemagne. Il semblerait donc que le compte exact soit bien 6 exemplaires en collections publiques. USTC 40725 ; BnF, notice n° BP16_113733 ; J. P. Barbier-Mueller, MBP, II, 1 ; N. Ducimetière, Mignonne…, 2 ; Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire…, 669 ; Ricci, 1 ; Tchemerzine, V, 414 (« cette plaquette est rarissime »).



In-8 (171 x 110 mm). Plaquette de 4 feuillets, une lettrine gravée. Reliure signée Mercier, sr. De Cuzin : maroquin bleu nuit, chiffre doré aux angles, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés de fleur de lys, lettres dorées, filets dorés aux coupes, roulettes et filets dorés intérieurs (grand de marges, quelques rousseurs). Provenance : baron de Ruble (chiffre) ; André Rodocanachi (ex-libris) ; Edmée Maus (ex-libris).
