LA PERRIÈRE, Guillaume de. La morosophie de Guillaume de la Perriere Tolosain, Contenant Cent Emblemes moreaux, illustrez de Cent Tetrastiques Latins, reduitz en autant de Quatrains Franvoys. Lyon: Mace Bonhomme, 1553. 8 o (160 x 108 mm). Italic and Roman types, title-page within a wide architectonic woodcut border with putti and grotesques, A2v with woodcut portrait of the author holding a balance, B3v with large woodcut of a standing centaur holding an olive branch and a laurel crown, 100 numbered rectangular emblems, each with elaborate borders of repeating designs (arabesque interlaces, classical columns, lions, caryatids, putti, etc). (Without P2 blank, tiny wormtrack to upper margins.) Late 19th-century mottled calf, spine gilt in six compartments, gilt-lettered spine label, edges tinted red (light rubbing). Provenance : acquired from Georges Heilbrun, 1960. FIRST EDITION. A fine woodcut emblem book in Latin and French with one hundred and one emblems. La Perrière was the author of the first popular French emblem book Theatre de Bons engins published ca. 1539 (see previous lot). The Morosophie followed this successful publication and is, like its predecessors, elaborately illustrated. The woodcuts have been attributed to, Jean Perrin and Jean Mounier, as their initials "IM" and "IP" appear in the blocks, but are now believed to be by Guiraud Arget. Adams L-172; Brun 232; Landwehr Romanic 454; see Mortimer French 339; Praz 395.
