AMBOISE, MICHEL D'. Les contrepistres d'Ovide nouvellement inventées. Paris: Denis Janot, 1542 [bound with:]
CEBES. Le Tableau de Cebes et Thebes, ancien philosophe et disciple de Socrates. Paris: Denis Janot for Gilles Corrozet, 26 July 1543 [and:]
PLUTARCHUS. Comme on peult recueillir profit de son enemy. Poitiers: [Jean and Enguilbert de Marnef, not before 1543]
THREE RARE WORKS IN A BINDING FOR MARCUS FUGGER.
This copy is from the library of Marcus Fugger (1529–1597), scion of the powerful banking family and trading family based in Augsburg. It is one of a large number of bindings he commissioned from Parisian binders in the early 1550s, the great majority in brown calf, simply decorated, with a small tool of a hand holding a branch, upon which perches a bird, as here (see also Magnificent Books and Bindings, 11 October 2023, lot 86), or a crowned double-headed eagle. Marcus habitually wrote his name on the pastedown of the upper cover, but no date, or purchase details.
Of the three rare works bound in this volume, the second and third are especially notable. The second edition with Janot's imprint of Corrozet's verse translation of Cebes must be counted amongst the most attractive books of the French Renaissance, owing both to its illustrations and the quality of its printing. The rare edition of Plutarch is untraced in the standard bibliographical reference works.
For other books with Fugger provenance, see 1606 (Boccaccio), 1683 (Ficino), 1693 (Galen), 1809 (Plutarch) and 1828 (Sallust).
