Catalogue de la Bibliothèque de l'Abbaye de Saint-Victor au Seizième Siècle rédigé par François Rabelais

Beschreibung

8vo (23.5 cm), [4], XVI, 406, [2] pp. Untrimmed in near contemporary cloth, gilt-lettered spine (browning of paper of free endpapers, few pencil notes, bookplate mounted on the front paste-down). A catalog of the library of the Abbey of Saint-Victor in Marseille, edited by François Rabelais. This esteemed library was dispersed at the close of the 16th century. "It is not only in the catalog of the Saint-Victor library that Rabelais reveals himself as a refined and ingenious bibliographer; his quintessential work, Gargantua and Pantagruel, deserves examination from the perspective of the scattered bibliographic information found within. His library, which has left more traces than one might suppose, will soon regain a kind of existence in a notice where we hope to demonstrate that Rabelais was not only a good bibliographer but also a sincere bibliophile." (from the Preface). The work is supplemented by "Essai sur les bibliothèques imaginaires" by Gustave Brunet, which includes the catalog of the fictional library of Fortsas and Brunet's letter to Paul Lacroix.
