Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, an anonymous critique of the Catholic Church in the 16th century, details the corruption and mismanagement of ecclesiastical finances. The author, clearly an informed critic of the Church, presents an in-depth analysis of the problem. This book supports its claims by offering statistics and a detailed breakdown of the Church's income and expenses. Throughout, the author argues that the Church has strayed from its mission and become more concerned with material wealth than spiritual matters, leading to moral decay and widespread financial mismanagement.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine condition. First edition limited to 100 copies. 41/100 Signed on colophon. Miniature book (1 3/8 x 1 1/8"). 2 leaves, 45pp., 1 leaf Original red leather with gilt decor and ruling on covers, gilt lettering and decorative ruling on spine. Gilt top edge. Marbled endpapers. Color-illustrated title page. Rendered into Latin verse by Nicholas Barnaud Delphinas. Illustrated with two color lithographs on title page and preface, one in b/w and fifteen emblematic plates in color lithography in the text. Preface: "I am called Lambspring, born of a noble family, and this crest I bear with glory and justice." "The Book of Lambspring is well known as one of the gems from the Musaeum Hermeticum published in 1625 by Lucas Jennis in Frankfurt, especially for its series of fifteen emblematic plates. It seems that this little book was first published under the title "De Lapide Philosophico Triga Chemicum (Prague 1599) compiled by the Frenchman Nicolas Barnaud, prominent in the alchemical circles around Rudolf II. The Book of Lambspring is a work of spiritual alchemy, has few references to physical alchemical processes, and it seems unlikely that it could ever have provided clues that might help someone engaged upon physical experimentation. Instead, it is a clear, powerful and extremely useful statement of the inner work of the spiritual alchemist." (Adam McLean).

Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. In-8 (135 x 88 mm), 4 ff. n. ch., 170 pp., 2 ff. n. ch. Maroquin porphyre, large dentelle dorée sur les plats avec un encadrement doré, dos à nerfs richement orné, double filet doré sur les coiffes et les coupes, dentelle intérieure dorée, tranches dorées, étui, dos légèrement pâli, coins légèrement frottés, le feuillet blanc final n'a pas été conservé, feuillet de titre doublé et ré-emmargé (Asper frères). Précieuse édition originale de cette relation à charge du massacre de la Saint-Barthélémy et des événements qui ont suivi. L'ouvrage est attribué par Prosper Marchand et Nodier à Nicolas Barnaud (c. 1539-1604?), médecin huguenot, alchimiste d'obédience paracelsienne. Bourgeois de Genève depuis 1567, il s'y réfugie après les massacres de la St Barthélémy. Il y fréquente notamment le paracelsien Joseph Du Chesne. Il gagne ensuite Bâle où il apparaît dans les matricules de l'université en 1574-1575 il est étudiant à l'Université de Bâle (voir Didier Kahn). La lettre dédicatoire «Au lecteur chrétien» datée de Bâle serait un argument supplémentaire d'attribution. Un poème liminaire invective le roi Charles IX. L'ouvrage a parfois été attribué à Hugues Doneau (1527-1591), jurisconsulte professeur à l'Université de Heidelberg. L'ouvrage est immédiatement traduit en français. Il est pourvu d'une seconde partie en 1574 et devient le Réveille-matin des Français, fameux pamphlet huguenot à dimension monarchomaque qui contient un long extrait du Discours de la servitude volontaire de La Boétie. Le volume paraît sous le pseudonyme d'Eusebius Philadelphus. Après des pages consacrées à la montée de l'intolérance envers les protestants sous François Ier, l'essentiel du volume est consacré au récit de la St Barthélémy et de ses conséquences. Le mariage d'Henri de Navarre avec Marguerite de Valois (la «reine Margot») est longuement décrit. On retrouve les principaux protagonistes, la famille royale mais aussi l'amiral de Coligny, le duc d'Albe (p. 46) parfois accusé d'avoir fait tuer l'amiral. Les considérations littéraires et intellectuelles ne manquent pas. L'enseignement du cynisme politique du Prince de Machiavel fait partie de l'éducation des futurs rois (p. 44). La Franciade de Ronsard est citée longuement (pp. 118-123 en traduction latine), l'auteur feignant de croire que Ronsard a peint Catherine de Médicis et Charles IX sous les traits déplaisants de Brunehaut et Chilpéric (Barbier-Mueller, Ma bibliothèque poétique, Deuxième partie, Ronsard, pp. 382-383). p. 49: Les grands bibliophiles ont recherché l'ouvrage: Constant Leber en possédait un exemplaire (Cat. II, 179) maintenant à la BM de Rouen. McCarthy Reagh avait un exemplaire en maroquin rouge à dentelle (II, n° 4567), le duc d'Aumale le possédait en maroquin rouge de Lortic (cote: XXXIV-C-040) et il l'avait acquis à la vente Pizarro, Bruxelles, 1862. L'Universal Short Title Catalogue recense 33 exemplaires dans les bibliothèques publiques, un seul hors d'Europe à Chicago (UL). 6 exemplaires sont recensés à Paris (Bibl. du protestantisme x 3, Mazarine, Bnf, Bibl. Ste Geneviève). Le CcFr mentionne 11 exemplaires en France. Etablis à Genève, Hans Asper (1855-1911) et son frère Jacques se distinguèrent dans le monde de la reliure, notamment Hans dans l'art de la dorure. Très bel exemplaire en maroquin relié par les frères Asper. Brunet IV, 599. Graesse, II, 380. Index Aureliensis, 113.184. Bietenholz, Basle and France in the Sixteenth Century, Droz, 1971, p. 119.
