Provenance d'une collection privée, cet exemplaire était apparu pour la dernière fois en 2012 lors de la vente Artcurial du 16 mai sous le lot 82 . Ex libris manuscrit ancien illisible au titre. Le musée de la renaissance décrit ainsi son exemplaire : « Cet ouvrage exceptionnel, publié en 1529, constitue à la fois une réflexion sur la typographie et sur la formation et le rôle de la langue française, en en revendiquant l'héritage hellénique tout autant que latin. L'enseignement ainsi tiré de l'Antiquité sert d'exemple universel vouée à la monarchie française : Tory, après la publication du Champ fleury, est nommé imprimeur royal, mais sa mort en 1533 l'empêche d'accomplir le programme d'éditions humanistes prévu par François Ier. Ce programme représentait en quelque sorte un pendant à la création du Collège des lecteurs royaux, Tory, ami de Simon de Colines et d'Henri Estienne, représentant l'agent idéal pour sa mise à exécution. Le Champ Fleury livre également bien des informations sur la culture artistique de son auteur, lecteur de Vitruve et de Pic de la Mirandole, ami de Perréal et de Charles de Bouelles L'exemplaire ici évoqué correspond à la deuxième édition, par les soins de Vivant Gaultherot en 1549 » Nous trouvons aussi une filiation évidente avec le célèbre « divina proportione » de Luca Paccioli. Paru en 1509. …

Le plus brillant des traités de la Renaissance en France : un manifeste de l'humanisme.En ancien français, champ fleury désigne le Paradis : Geoffroy Tory convie le lecteur en un Jardin de plaisance où fourmillent toutes les espèces de fleurs les plus précieuses et les plus étranges. Traité d'esthétique et discours apologétique de la langue française, le chef-d'oeuvre de l'imprimeur et humaniste Geoffroy Tory (1480-1533) est aussi le tout premier manuel typographique français."Geofroy Tory (.) was at once poet, translator and critic, artist and workman, dreamer and reformer. He had been a traveler in Italy and was deeply moved by the Renaissance spirit. He wrote, printed, and published books; he designed type in which to print them, and ornaments with which to adorn them. (.) He was a prime mover in introducing roman types and made innovation in the arrangement of title-pages. In short, he was a kind of divine jack-of-all-trades." (Updike).À la fois typographe, artiste, philologue, Geoffroy Tory (1480-1533) était installé rue Saint-Jacques, à l'enseigne du "Pot cassé". Le libraire-éditeur a voyagé en Italie et il fait ici l'éloge de Vinci, de Raphaël, de Michel-Ange et même de Dürer, alors peu connu en France. Son traité vise à renouveler l'esthétique du livre. Il prône l'usage du caractère romain au détriment des vieux alphabets gothiques. Il réclame une simplification de l'orthographe, l'emploi de l'accent aigu et de la cédille. Il a surtout mené le combat en faveur de la langue française, vingt avant la Deffense et Illustration de Joachim Du Bellay. Il faut, dit-il, "décorer sa nation et enrichir sa langue domestique" et "escrire en françois comme françois nous sommes." Deux ans avant sa mort, le prote fut élevé à la dignité d'Imprimeur du roi François 1er. Le colophon de notre exemplaire mentionne les noms de Tory ainsi que de Gourmont, signe de premier tirage."The most famous single work in the early history of French typography. The three books of the text are concerned with the French language, the origin of Roman letters, and the construction of the letters. This volume is, in addition, the major work upon which Tory's reputation as renaissance scholar, printer, and artists is based. The imprint of this first issue names both Tory and Gilles de Gourmont as publishers. Bernard attributes this printing to Gourmont, but Johnson believes that this is the first book printed by Tory himself" (Mortimer)."The result of this work was an immediate and complete revolution in French typography and orthography - the abandonment of the Gothic and the adoption of a new cut of antique face" (Bigmore & Wyman).L'ouvrage est illustré d'une centaine de compositions gravées sur bois, dont 13 planches d'alphabets de styles variés, ainsi que des modèles de lettres entrelacées ou fantaisistes destinées aux artisans. Les figures et vignettes, certaines étant de sa main, sont empreintes de sobriété et d'élégance, non sans une pointe de préciosité. Pour la figure de l'Hercule gaulois, l'auteur indique qu'il a vu cette "fiction en riche painture dedans Romme" et qu'il en a fait un dessin. Deux compositions exquises représentent le Triomphe d'Apollon et des Muses, et celui de Cérès et de Bacchus.Exemplaire réglé.

Condition: Good. in-4 (245x172 mm), ff. (8), 80, legatura 700esca in pergamena. Impresso in caratteri romani e con varie parole in greco, illustrato da 116 straordinarie figure in silografia, inoltre su sei fogli sono illustrate le lettere di 13 diversi alfabeti: ebraico, greco, di fantasia e cifrati. Titolo racchiuso in bordura figurata, che include l'impresa tipografica di Tory. Altra grande marca dello stesso stampatore e colophon al recto dell'ultimo foglio. Edizione originale del notissimo trattato di calligrafia e tipografia, in cui con grande arte e fantasia il Tory illustra in forma assai personale le proprie idee e regole sulla grammatica e l'ortografia del francese a inizio XVI secolo, sull'origine e lo sviluppo del carattere romano e, per terminare, analizza la costruzione dei vari alfabeti. L'Autore si serve di una griglia quadrata per descrivere la forma delle lettere, che anticipa in modo impressionante l'uso della pixelatura nei caratteri tipografici odierni. G. Tory, incisore, calligrafo, tipografo francese (Bourges ca. 1480-Parigi ca. 1533), studiò a Roma e a Bologna, quindi insegnò a Parigi letteratura e filosofia curando nel contempo edizioni di opere erudite, tra cui il De re aedificatoria di Leon Battista Alberti (1512) e numerosi Libri d'ore. Con la sua opera di illustratore e di calligrafo promosse in Francia il passaggio dalla scrittura gotica ai caratteri rinascimentali per cui disegnò numerosi alfabeti. Il Champfleury, è uno dei più famosi e rari figurati del rinascimento francese. Esemplare assai puro e bello (tre antiche firme di appartenenza sul titolo). Prima edizione, prima tiratura, con i nomi di Tory e Gourmont nel colophon, del piu celebre libro illustrato del Rinascimento francese, ideato sulla scorta di Pacioli (1509) e Duerer (1525) per celebrare l'origine e lo sviluppo del carattere Romano, analizzandone la costruzione e il disegno. L'opera edivisa in tre parti: la prima concerne il francese, la seconda l'origine del carattere romano e la terza la costruzione delle lettere dei vari alfabeti. Le incisioni nella seconda sezione dimostrano come i rapporti proporzionali nel disegno delle lettere derivino dalle proporzioni umane, idea che fu di Leonardo e Pacioli, ripresa in ambito francese da Jean Perreal. Nella terza sezione Tory fornisce un accurato e minuzioso manuale pratico per la realizzazione delle singole lettere, sulla scorta di analoghi manuali italiani di calligrafia coevi, . Edito sei anni dopo la sua stesura, Tory aveva ottenuto il privilegio di stampa sin dal 1526 come riportato in un suo volume del 1527.

Reliures du XVIe siècle. 155 x 99 mm. --- Le Bréviaire romain - partie d'hiver - imprimé en 1533 en deux forts volumes in-8 somptueusement reliés dans la seconde partie du XVIe siècle pour le prieur des bénédictines de Sainte Suzanne, avec son nom « Chastellain » frappé en lettres d'or au centre du plat inférieur et illustré par Geoffroy Tory.Imprimé sur deux colonnes en rouge et noir, il commence par le calendrier de l'année et est orné de belles gravures sur bois dans le texte et à pleine page, la première portant la Croix de Lorraine, signature de Geoffroy Tory (1480-1533), et la date 1533.La lecture approfondie de la biographie de Geoffroy Tory par A. Bernard nous apprend que la signature d'une gravure de cette époque de la seule Croix de Lorraine signifie que Tory a dessiné et gravé la pièce où elle figure (Réf : Geoffroy Tory - Peintre et graveur par Auguste Bernard, Paris, 1865, p. 241).« Geoffroy Tory est le plus anciennement connu de ces excellents artistes à qui la typographie dut sa première splendeur.L'homme qui contribua le plus à la triple évolution dont je viens de parler est Geoffroy Tory, qui reçut en 1530, comme récompense de ses travaux, le titre d'Imprimeur du Roi, que Franç /// Pars hyemalis brevarii impressa 1533.2 volumes 8vo [155 x 99 mm]. Printed in red and black on double column. Full olive green morocco, covers decorated in the center with the instruments of the Christ's passion, front covers bearing in full gilt letters the name of Sainte Suzanne monastery, back covers bearing in their center in gilt letters the name of the prior of the Benedictine nuns of Sainte Suzanne, « Chastellain », frame of a large gilt border with fanfare patterns: hollowed-out tools, dotted line, small floral and leaf design inserted in geometrical hollowed-up patterns, flat spines splendidly decorated with fanfare patterns with, in their center, instruments of the Christ's passion, gilt edges, three ties. Bindings from the 16th century. --- The Roman breviary ? part made for winter ? printed in 1533 in two strong 8vo volumes sumptuously bound in the second half of the 16th century for the prior of the Benedictine nuns of Saint Susan, with his name « Chastellain » stamped in gilt letters in the center of the back cover and illustrated by Geoffroy Tory.Printed on two columns in red and black, it begins with the calendar of the year and is illustrated with beautiful full-page woodcuts in the text, the first bearing the Cross of Lorraine, signature of Geoffroy Tory (1480-1533), and the date 1533. The detailed reading of Geoffroy Tory's biography by A. Bernard teaches us that the signature of a woodcut at that time of the Cross of Lorraine only means that Tory drew and engraved the piece bearing it (Ref: Geoffroy Tory - Peintre et graveur par Auguste Bernard, Paris, 1865, p. 241).« Geoffroy Tory is the most formerly known of these excellent artists to whom typography owes its first splendor. The man who most contributed to the triple evolution that I just mentioned is Geoffroy Tory, who received in 1530, as a reward to his works, the title of the King's printer, that Francis I of France had never given to anybody, we owe to Tory the renovation.…
