Description
JASMIN (Jacques Boé, known as...) (1798–1864). *Las papillotos de Jasmin coiffeur*, from the academies of Agen and Bourdéou, etc. 1825–1843. Agen, Noubel, 1842–1863, 4 volumes in-8, Frontispiece–XXXIX pp.–432 pp. - Engraved portrait – LX pp. – 404 pp. – 2 ff. of music score as a separate insert – Frontispiece on laid paper, mounted – LX pp. – 363 pp. – XX pp. – 412 pp. Contemporary half-chagrin in bronze, smooth spines. - Author’s dedication in volume 3: ‘affectionate tribute from the author to Madame Hochet, née Sylvain Dumont’. Yellowed portrait (volume 2), a few scattered light foxing spots. A rare complete edition of the four volumes of the poetic works of Jasmin, the famous hairdresser-poet born in Agen in 1798, who died in 1864. Bilingual text. Volume 1, dated 1843: numerous vignettes and typographical ornaments carved from wood. Andrieu I, 378 erroneously states 50 rather than 39 pp. in Roman type; the volume is indeed complete with 39 introductory pages. He also states “4 engravings by Montaut d’Oléron, which are missing from many copies”. Our copy contains only one, on the frontispiece. – Volume 2, dated 1842: Andrieu does not describe this volume as he has not seen a copy of it. - Volume 3: Andrieu, p. 379. - Volumes 2 and 4 are here in their first edition. A self-taught poet, Jasmin was taught by his father, who composed burlesque couplets for weddings, festivals and charivaris. He set up his own business as a wig-maker, and his ‘papillotes’—a name borrowed from his profession which he applied to his works—brought customers flocking to his shop. His fame reached Paris, where Sainte-Beuve (to whom this edition is dedicated) and Nodier cemented his reputation. He is regarded as one of the first innovators of the Occitan language in the 19th century and a forerunner of the Félibrige movement. - (Thomas, *Voix d’en bas*, p. 213).
