About this Item

8vo. xxxii + 440p. Roman and italic type. Text printed within red line border (including half title and first sectional title), general title in red & black within ornamental woodcut border, 4 sectional titles printed in red within individual decorative woodcut borders, last sectional title in red & black within architectural woodcut border; initials. 4 blank vellum leaves bound in at beginning and end of volume. Jansenist dark blue morocco, title gilt-stamped on spine, inner gilt dentelles, edges gilt (by Chambolle-Duru); lightly rubbed. A French literary classic sumptuously printed on vellum containing the Odes of Olivier de Magny (c.1529-c.1560), a gifted lyrical poet from Cahors who was a follower of Ronsard and a friend of Joachim du Bellay. In his introduction to this superbly produced festive Lyon edition, Prosper Blanchemain (1806-79) explains the esteem in which Magny is held, partly due to the fact that he remained in the city most of his short life. The Odes, first published in Paris by André Wechel in 1559, are individually dedicated to persons of genius or high rank. The ornamentation of this volume is based on that of the original Paris edition. From the collection of Marcel Schlimovich with his bookplate inside front cover, and library stamp in blank corners of half title and verso of index leaf. Vicaire V-451.
