Sobre este artículo
Lyon: Par J. de Tournes 1559. 4to. (xviii), 462, (32); (xii), 314, (6) pp., Contemporary brown full calf binding, with gilt lettered spine, coat of arms of book collector Claude Gouffier to the front board and all edges gilt. Some surface damage and marks to the boards. Splits along the spine joints with some loss to the ends and corners. Binding firm. Some rippling to the leaves with water damage to the edges of the leaves. Generally internally clean with slight staining to the rear tail edge from pages 301 to the endpaper. Marks in ink to the title page. Contains 2 volumes in 1 published in 1559, the remaining volumes 3 & 4 were published in 1561. The Coat of arms to the front board depicts the heraldic device of Claude Gouffier, 1510-1570, comte de Maulevrier and Marquis de Boisy. A member of the Royal Court Gouffier was knighted in 1533 and rose to the office of Grand Equerry of France by 1546. Throughout life Gouffier became a prominent patron of the arts and book collector. Examples of his collection can be found in institutions across the world including the Louvre, the BNF and the Met. He was decribed by Charles Isaac Elton to be "a collector of an essentially modern type". Yet Gouffier's cultural legacy goes beyond his collection as he was said to have inspired the figure of the "Marquis de Carabas" in Charles Perrault's tale of "Puss in Boots". Bound in 6s, binding 35 by 21.5 cm. . Good. Full Calf. 1559.
