Description
BADE (Josse). *Navis stultifera collectanea*. Paris, Enguilbert de Marnef, 1507. Quarto, brown morocco on bevelled boards, blind and gilt tooling, clover-shaped fleurons in the border and on the spine, clasps (modern binding). Gothic edition adorned with a title printed in red and black, decorated with a woodcut and the mark of Enguilbert de Marnef. (Renouard, Bade, vol. II, p. 83, no. 4.) Josse Bade’s text is inspired by Sebastian Brant’s *Narrenschiff* (*Ship of Fools*), a famous satirical and moral treatise first published in 1494. His *Navis stultifera* was first printed in 1505. Josse Bade divided Brant’s text into 113 verses, each accompanied by a prose explanation, the moral of which often differs from that of Brant’s text. The edition is illustrated with 115 woodcuts copied from the first editions of this essential *Ship of Fools*. The leaves are often slightly stained, particularly the first few; there are some foxing spots, a small repair and part of a margin has been doubled on the last leaf. Expert: Mr Dominique Courvoisier
