No one else had any hand in it.I have never made any secret of the authorship, but as I have constantly endeavored in any literary work I have been able to do for many years back to elevate the Irish subject out of the burlesque, I have an indisposition to place my name on the title-page of so very rollicking a piece as Father Tom" (p. vii).

17th-century gilded morocco binding [ca. 20 x 14 cm] decorated with a wide gilt-tooled "fanfare-style" border featuring fleurs-de-lis and floral motifs. The corners are accented with fine, naturalistic animal tools: the upper corners feature gilt-tooled stags (deer) in profile, and the lower corners feature gilt-tooled hares (rabbits); spine with raised bands and gilt title. 136 unnumbered leaves. With 40 woodcut illustrations, including a large nearly full-page woodcut of a King (Louis XI) in council, the title, and numerous woodcut initials. Title page printed in red and black with a large woodcut illustration of a courtly scene. The very rare 1532 edition of this famous collection of French short stories. Modeled after Boccaccios Decameron, the Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles were traditionally attributed to Antoine de la Sale and said to have been collected at the court of Philippe le Bon, Duke of Burgundy. The stories are celebrated for their wit, gallantry, and sharp satirical look at 15th-century society, particularly the clergy and the bourgeoisie. This edition by Olivier Arnoullet is notable for its charming Lyonnaise woodcuts, which capture the lively and often scandalous nature of the prose. Its significance lies in its secular realism. Unlike earlier medieval exempla designed to teach a moral lesson, these stories were written purely for entertainment (joyeuseté). They offer a vividand often crudesnapshot of 15th-century life, focusing on the cunning of women, the hypocrisy of the clergy, and the "gallantry" of the nobility. Historically, it is considered the first great work of French prose fiction: "sometimes falsely attributed to Antoine de la Sale, was composed at the request of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, around 1462, by a court writer, perhaps Philippe Pot. Several Burgundian lords, for their own amusement, take turns telling bawdy stories, full of revelry, amorous contests, feints, and wordplay, which form a sequel to Boccaccio's Decameron and foreshadow the tales of the 16th century. Yet, behind the apparent gaiety, one senses the anxieties of a century ending badly: chivalric loyalty has disappeared, filial love, marriage, even friendship are affected by the decline of morals and the rise of falsehood. The original text was adapted, compiled, and reworked several times in the 16th century" (Bechtel, "Catalogue des gothiques français", 545, N-78). Condition: The fine 17th century binding is in very good condition with only minor rubbing to the joints and extremities; leaves with some damp-staining, most visible in the margins but occasionally affecting the text area; 4 pages with heavier ink staining. 4 leaves with restorations: One of the leaves with a restored missing corner fragment; another leaf with a replaced missing part (with some loss to text and 1 woodcut), the last text leaf with small marginal replacement (with minor loss of text), the last leaf with the full page woodcut mounted and with remargined loss to outer margin (without text loss) This edition is very rare; the Universal Short Title Catalogue (USTC 21915) records only 2 other copies in institutional holdings worldwide, located at the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the British Library. --- "It is a masterpiece of style; and the first work in prose, without question, in which the French language shows that clarity and easy elegance which made it the language of civilized Europe" (Viollet-le-Duc, "Bibliographie des chansons, fabliaux, contes en vers et en prose", 1859, p. 144).
