First edition in French of Aphorismes Civill and Militarie (London, 1613) comprising 246 political and military aphorisms selected from the Italian historian Guicciardini, designed to teach the lessons of history in a pithy and pragmatic form, in the spirit of Montaigne. The original Aphorismes had been dedicated by the English courtier Robert Dallington to Henry, Prince of Wales and later to Prince Charles. Mouchemberg's free translation, retaining the structure of the original, with glosses and apparatus, was dedicated to Antoine Coiffier-Ruzé, Marquis d'Effiat, who had negotiated the marriage of the Prince of Wales (later Charles I) with Louis XIII's sister, Henrietta Maria of France in 1625. Mouchemberg later published a continuation of another British work - Argenis by John Barclay.Dallington (1561-1636) himself is an interesting figure in European literary culture. Initially educated at Cambridge (Corpus Christi) but without taking a degree, he published translations from the Hypnerotomachia as The Strife of Love in 1592, dedicated to the memory of Sir Philip Sidney and to the Earl of Essex (into whose circle he was drawn). He made at least two grand tours, one in a party with Inigo Jones. His View of France was first published in 1604 and his Survey of ? Tuscany in 1605, both written for private circulation. 8vo (170 × 90 mm), pp. [12], 590 [10], including additional engraved emblematic title by L. Gaultier. Woodcut head- and tailpieces and initials. Lightly browned, a single wormhole in lower margin, progressively expanding to two and then to a track towards the end, and there touching a few catchwords or a letter of the bottom line. Contemporary mottled dark calf, spine with four raised bands, lettered and with four floral tools in gilt. Upper joint cracked, the lower starting, some worming to foot of spine, corners worn. A sound, unsophisticated copy. [Rare: WorldCat lists the British Library as the only location outside continental Europe, with no North American copies.].…

Roman and Italic letter, some Greek. Text in box rule.

A fine copy, absolutely crisp and clean, with good margins in contemporary calf, covers bordered with a triple blind rule, spine with raised bands, ruled in blind, tan morocco label gilt, edges with gilt pointillé rule, a.e.r., a little scratching to upper cover. A fine copy of the first edition of this important and influential book of Aphorisms adapted from Guicciardini. The author had been introduced to Prince Henry in 1605, serving him for four years without reward; in 1609 Dallington presented Henry with a manuscript translation "Aphorismes civill and militarie", selected from the Italian historian Francesco Guicciardini. As a result of this gift Dallington was fee'd as a gentleman-in-ordinary of the prince's chamber, joining the distinguished group of scholars who attended James I's high-minded heir. After the prince's death in 1612 Dallington reworked his Aphorismes for publication, published here with a new dedication to Prince Charles. "Improbably the ruse worked a second time, and Dallington became one of the few members of Prince Henry's household to be retained by the new heir. It has even been suggested that Charles may have derived his unfortunate persuasion that duplicity was a princely virtue from reading Dallington's Guicciardini." (see ODNB). "In 1613 Robert Dallington dedicates his Aphorismes Civill and Militarie to Prince Charles. The overt purpose of his work is to offer this future ruler lessons in political prudence. Dallington condenses educational episodes from the first five books of Guicciardini's Storia d'Italia, introducing each with a moral of his own and sententiae from various sources. On the surface, the Aphorismes is a typical approach to methodising the art of prudence. Dallington is only one of many early modern authors to compile a collection of political wisdom based on the works of the famously prudent Guicciardini, but the Aphorismes stands out from similar works because of how the author approaches the challenge of cultivating the reader's prudence. Like other collectors, Dallington does methodize, order, and condense. However, Dallington's method does not simply arrange static precepts for easy consumption. Rather, Dallington employs a method of prudent indirection to immerse precepts in dynamic and complicating contexts that enable readers to develop skills of discretion and flexibility. Dallington not only adopts an essentially Ramist method to Baconian and Guicciardinian ideals of induction, but he also takes an Odyssean route to prudence, incorporating romance conventions of voyage and digression that transform his manual of prudence into something more adventurous and more effective than the typical aphorism collection."
