Réunion de deux contrefaçons lyonnaises contemporaines des éditions originales.
L’Exhortation de Ronsard témoigne des délicates négociations qui ont rythmé l’année 1558 - on négocia dès le mois de mai. Cépéndant, Ronsard appela tout de même à fourbir les armes en août. C’est également une curiosité bibliophilique d’une grande rareté.
USTC 15112 (4 exemplaires recensés, dont celui-ci) ; Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire…, 699.
La Remonstrance, quant à elle, est un virulent pamphlet contre les protestants. Si Ronsard appelait dans l’Exhortation à prendre les armes contre les ennemis extérieurs, ici la virulence de ses vers se destine à l’unité de la foi, et au rejet du protestantisme
Cette contrefaçon lyonnaise, comme la précédente, n’est pas moins rare : seuls deux exemplaires sont recensés en institutions publiques, tous deux aux États-Unis, et nous n’avons pas connaissance d’autres exemplaires en mains privées.
USTC 8165 (2 exemplaires recensés, en plus de celui-ci) ; J. P. Barbier-Mueller, MBP, II-2, 15 ; Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire…, 730.
L’Exhortation : plaquette petit in-8 (162 x 100 mm) de 4 ff. Non rogné. Marque de l’imprimeur sur la page de titre (piqûres et salissures, galerie de ver traversant la plaquette, page de titre abîmée)
La Remonstrance : Plaquette petit in-8 (162 x 93 mm) de 16 ff. Bandeau et lettrine ornée (exemplaire lavé, rousseurs, très discrète restauration à la page de titre). Reliures signées Honegger : maroquin ébène, chiffre doré au centre des plats (deux « B » entrelacés), décor mosaïqué de losange et cadre en maroquin caramel, filet doré en encadrement, dos à nerfs, caissons soulignés de filets dorés, lettre dorée, doublure de maroquin caramel, encadrement de maroquin ébène souligné d’un filet doré, garde de moire brune, tranches au naturel.
