Description
MAZARINADES] – [LAFFEMAS, Laurent de] – *L'Enfer burlesque* or the sixth book of the *Aeneid* in parody, dedicated to Mademoiselle de Chevreuse. All adapted to the history of the times . Accompanied by the copy printed in Antwerp, Paris, 1649. In-4, (6) ff., 36 pp., text in 2 columns, paper slightly yellowed, blue Bradel-style perforation. LACHÈVRE II, 314. MOREAU 1216. First edition dedicated to Mademoiselle de Chevreuse. Laffemas praises the ‘Virgil in Disguise’, the fourth book of which Scarron published that year: ‘this work has been printed without my consent.’ A work that seems to anticipate his own, but which will always be published much later. Reader, I ask you to be so kind as to make up, through your wit and generosity, for a few imperfect verses that these foreigners have been unable to read.” Ex-libris Frédéric Lachèvre.
