Remise en vente de l'édition originale de 1555 rajeunie, illustrée d'une vignette au titre aux armes de Du Choul, de 6 bandeaux, des 21 lettrines, de 43 figures la plupart à pleine page, et d'un grand plan replié camp des Romains, le tout gravé sur bois 37 figures pour la Castramétation & 6 figures pour les bains. - Vol. II : 1- 312 pp. -27 ff. n. ch. édition originale en premier tirage illustré d'une vignette au titre aux armes de Du Choul, de 2 bandeaux, de 12 lettrines, de 45 figures in-texte à mi-page, de 555 figures de médailles, le tout gravé sur bois. Très belle réunion des trois texte de de l'antiquaire lyonnais Guillaume du Choul (vers 1496-1560), comptant parmi les plus beaux ouvrages publiés par l'imprimeur Lyonnais Guillaume Rouillé, consacrés à la civilisation antique et notamment romaine, concernant respectivement la religion romaine, la castrametation, c'est-à-dire l'art de choisir et de disposer l'emplacement d'un camp ou d'une place forte, et les bains. Les magnifiques bois gravés sont l'oeuvre de Pierre Eskrich, dit aussi Pierre Vase, qui fut l'un des artistes préférés de Guillaume Rouillé et l'auteur d'incomparables suites gravées. Le "Discours sur la castrametation" est essentiellement un commentaire de planches sur l'armée romaine. On pense que cette suite gravée fut inspirée à Du Choul par les dessins de la colonne Trajane qu'il avait observée lors de son séjour à Rome. Le "Discours de la religion des anciens romains" est célèbre pour l'abondance de son illustration. L'ouvrage est dédié à Claude d'Urfé en remerciement des services rendus à l'auteur et aux siens à Rome, allusion au séjour de Jean Du Choul dans la suite de l'ambassadeur du Roi de France. Ce texte servit de répertoire iconographique à plusieurs peintres tel que Nicolas Poussin. in-4°. Seller Inventory # 104008

Lyon: Guillaume Roville, 1581. 2 vols. in one, thick 8vo, 339, 54 index; title-page, 154, [10 index]pp. Title-page with the printer's device, verso arms of Du Choul, 602 figures of which 4 are full-page, in the first part and 37 full-page illustrations in the second. Woodcuts by Pierre Eckirsch also known as Pierre Vase or Cruche. In a custom, tattooed binding by by Aarom von Hemmersbach depicting Romulus and Remus and the mother wolf. § A superb emblematic binding by von Hemmmersbach whose work is quickly finding acceptance at the highest levels. His tattoo binding on a recent Grolier Club exhibition binding sold at auction for $12,500. The text is a history of Roman Emperors, descriptions of life and times of ancient Rome, and most importantly a commentary on Roman coins and their religious implications (i.e. mythology, cults, etc.). This book also offers descriptions of forged Roman coins. "As the well-known legend of Romulus and Remus typically focuses on the two competitive brothers, this binding reveals them as somewhat secondary characters. their cover-to-cover spanning wolf Mother taking centre stage instead. She is not ferocious, gnarling her teeth in aggression, instead she is standing up from rest after nursing her two mercurial sons. Her nose lifted in the air to smell their destiny. She stretches her body across the rear panel, the spine, and the front panel, just as Rome stretched its vast empire across the ancient world. Olive branches on the back cover indicate the beginnings of Rome, the first sprigs of a powerful force. On the front, the inevitable ruins of the dream that was Rome. A banner floats along the mid-section of the wolf mother, an acknowledgment to the date of the 16th century printing, as well as the famous abbreviation: SPQR." A. von Hemmersbach.
