Lot 5 | VALERIANO, Giovanni Piero (1477-1558)
VALERIANO, Giovanni Piero (1477-1558)

Hieroglyphica seu de sacris aegyptorium... Lyon : Frelon, 1602.

Exemplaire aux armes et chiffre du roi Henri IV, de la bibliothèque du collège des Jésuites de La Flèche, dont il avait commandité la création. C'est Henri IV qui autorisa, par lettres patentes, le retour des jésuites en France en 1603 et préconisa la fondation de ce quatorizème collège, dont René Descartes fut l'élève dès la première promotion, de 1604 à 1612. Bien qu'Henri IV n'ait jamais été dauphin, le fer frappé au centre des plats présente un dauphin couronné et le semis alterne dauphins non couronnés et fleurs de lys, vraisemblablement par volonté de varier l'ornementation (OHR). Cette troisième édition latine, la plus complète, contient également le Declamatio et Poemata. Brunet, V, col. 1042 ; Baudrier, IV, p. 136 (édition de 1579).



In-folio (382 x 289 mm). Texte en latin. Illustré d'un portrait gravé de l'auteur, 267 vignettes gravées, 12 gravures in-texte, bandeaux, lettrines et culs-de-lampe gravés. Reliure de l'époque : maroquin blond aux armes du roi Henri IV (OHR, 13, pl. 2492, fer n° 5), semis de dauphins non couronnés et de fleurs de lys alternés, chiffre de Henri IV aux angles (OHR, 13, pl. 2492, fer n°12) et triple filet doré en encadrement des plats, dos titré or reprenant le même semis, coupes ornées doré.

Provenance : collège des Jésuites de La Flèche (ex-libris manuscrit au titre "Collegii flexiensis societatis jesu catalogo inscriptus") -- C.N. Radoulesco (ex-libris) -- Alexis de Redé (ex-libris)



Copy bearing the arms and cypher of King Henri IV, from the library of Jesuit school of La Flèche, which Henri IV founded after authorizing the Jesuits to return to France in 1603.
