Description
GUERET, Gabriel] - Le Parnasse reformé. Eighth revised, corrected & enlarged ed. Lyon, Claude de La Roche, 1675. Pet. in-12, (3) ff. 99 (1) pp. ivory vellum with flaps.
First published in 1668. ROTSCHILD no. 1850 (1671 ed.). In 1671 Guéret published La Guerre des Anciens et des Modernes, of which the reformed Parnasse is the counterpart. He reviewed all the ancient and modern poets. Guéret's writings are an important contribution to the history of the Ancients and Moderns quarrel. Familiar with both Boileau and Perrault, he adopted an original position in this conflict, which was then becoming an open polemic, by taking taste, which he called "science galante", as the essential criterion.
