    Couverture rigide. Apud Johannem Elsevirium | Lugduni Batavorum (Leyde) 1656 | 17 x 22 cm | relié | Nouvelle édition, et première elsevirienne, après l'originale parue à Dortrecht en 1643. Dédicace à la reine Elisabeth de Bohème. Page de titre en rouge et noir. Reliure en plein cartonnage d'attente usagé jaune. Pièce de titre en maroquin rouge. Frottement mettant le carton à nu aux mors, coiffes, coins et bordures. Bordures externes et coins émoussés Recueil de poésies sur le mariage et composées pour les futures noces d'Elisabeth de Bohème. Cette reine, âgée alors de 25 ans, étudiait la philosophie depuis sa première jeunesse - Descartes, qu'elle avait choisi pour maître, lui dédia Les principes de la philosophie en lui adressant cet éloge : "La première et la plus savante de ses disciples" - et craignait que ses prochaines noces ne nuisent à ses études. L'ouvrage contient 14 poèmes en vers sur le mariage, tous dans une veine assez satirique et comique (l'union d'Adam et Eve, la polygamie.), 9 par Caspar Barleus, 4 par Boyus et un par Cats, lequel s'est chargé de réaliser l'édition. Suit une partie constituée de dialogues philosophiques sur les vertus du mariage et des noces. Pour la petite histoire, l'union d'Elisabeth fut un échec, et la reine de Bohème choisit de finir abesse dans un monastère protestant. L'ensemble constitue une curiosité assez remarquable. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] New edition, and first Elzevier, after the original published at Dordrecht in 1643. Dedication to Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia. Title-page in red and black. Binding in full worn yellow temporary cardboard. Red morocco title-label. Rubbing exposing the cardboard at joints, headcaps, corners and edges. External edges and corners bumped Collection of poetry on marriage composed for the future wedding of Elizabeth of Bohemia. This queen, then aged 25, had studied philosophy from her earliest youth - Descartes, whom she had chosen as her master, dedicated The Principles of Philosophy to her with this praise: "The first and most learned of his disciples" - and feared that her approaching nuptials would harm her studies. The work contains 14 poems in verse on marriage, all in a rather satirical and comic vein (the union of Adam and Eve, polygamy.), 9 by Caspar Barleus, 4 by Boyus and one by Cats, who undertook to produce the edition. This is followed by a section consisting of philosophical dialogues on the virtues of marriage and weddings. As a historical note, Elizabeth's union was a failure, and the Queen of Bohemia chose to end her days as an abbess in a Protestant monastery. The whole forms a quite remarkable curiosity. * (42) 32, 302, (2) 64, 119 (4)pp.
