Description
DESPORTES, Philippe - The C.l. Pseaumes de David, mis en vers françois, par Ph. Desportes, Abbé de Tiron. (Suvi de:) Prières et méditations chrestiennes. Paris, Abel L'Angelier, 1603. In-8, title-front, engraved by Thomas de Leu, (2) ff, 210 ff, (6) ff, 47 ff, (1) ff, several small stains, contemporary brown morocco, double gilt framing, smooth gilt spine, gilt tr.
TCH II, 899. BALSAMO n°382. First complete edition of Desportes' religious poetry. His Psalter is as famous as that of Marot, representing the movement that emerged from the Counter-Reformation. The number of reprints attests to the fact that, at the dawn of the classical age, it was one of the best transitions between the Pléïade and Malherbe. The binding seems to have been made for this edition and reproduces, without the ornamentation, that of the dedication copy presented to King Henri IV.
