About This Item
A VERY INTRIGUING LITTLE BOOK OF THE UTMOST RARITY
FIRST and ONLY edition. 12mo, 96 pp., title within a charming woodcut border. Several headpieces. Contemporary calf with gilt decorations to spine, skilfully restored. An excellent copy.
This anonymous collection of heroical, amorous and frivolous poems is a mystery. It has no imprint information, so no place, no name nor date stated. The title-page tells us just "printed in that year", which seems a joke. The only bibliographical work mentioning it is Lachèvre's Bibliographie des recueils collectifs de poésies publiés de 1597 a 1700 (Paris, 1905), in the Supplement (Vol. 4, p. [22], Letter N). Not even Lachèvre managed to see this work in person as he stated in his comment to the work: "Nous n'avons pas été assez heureux pour mettre la main sur ce petit volume...". Lachèvre suggested that the book might have been published "vers 1675".
The book is mentioned also in the third part of Bibliotheca Hohendorfiana (no. 1961, p. 149), the catalogue of the private library of Baron Georg Wilhelm von Hohendorf (La Haye, 1720).
Only two copies seem to be available in public libraries around the world: at the BNF of Paris ("Ex. libr. de Thomas Westwod. Rel. mar. r. de C. Hardy") and at the Austrian National Library, which perhaps holds the above mentioned Hohendorf copy.
