VIAU, Théophile de (1590 - 1626). Le Parnasse satyrique. [S.l.] 1627.



Bel exemplaire de ce rare recueil libre, publié sous le manteau. L’indécence du premier sonnet louant la sodomie valut l’arrestation de son auteur en 1624 et l’autodafé des exemplaires des deux premières éditions.

Cette quatrième édition se différencie notamment par dix strophes retranchées de l’ode de Jacques Vallée des Barreaux. Ce dernier, qui avait aidé Théophile de Viau à mettre en oeuvre le recueil, tente en effet de se protéger en effaçant un passage scabreux de son ode.

Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire, 927 ; La Chèvre, Frédéric, Disciples et successeurs de Théophile de Viau, Paris : Honoré Champion, 1911, 97 ; Tchemerzine V, 867.



In-12 (145 x 80 mm). Reliure attribuable à Thibaron: maroquin rouge, encadrement de triple filets dorés sur les plats, dos à nerfs orné, pièce de titre, tranches dorées (signature de la reliure caviardée sur le premier contreplat).
