Item description from seller

Only Edition of this collection of some 6,000 proverbs on marriage, fortune, lust, doctors, lawyers, confessors, wine, women, food and household management. For this, Le Duc put many common sayings into rhyming couplets, including numerous misogynistic maxims (with which Le Duc claims in his preface not to agree with). A poem on personal hygiene, diet, exercise and sleep closes the book. In good condition (some spots), inscription "4 7bris 1689 ? Amsterdam" on verso of final flyleaf, bookplate of the Belgian book and art collector Anselme Van Den Bogaerde (1766-1866; Catalogue (1866) 3923). Viollet-le-Duc, Catalogue des livres composant la bibliothèque poétique 523-4 "rare"; Cioranescu 41567. Contemporary vellum over stiff boards (scuffed, light soiling), flat spine with manuscript title.
