Description
FOUQUET (Samuel)] Le Modèle du parfait cavalier, qui enseigne à la noblesse tous les plus beaux avis du manèges, avec un excellent traité de la manière de bien entretenir un cheval en bonne santé et divers remèdes esprouvées pour leurs maladies, nouvellement mises au jour par le sieur de Beaurepere. Paris, Loyson, 1671. One volume in-12, contemporary brown basane, (4) ff. 412 pp. Rubbing and wear, splitting of spine at head of spine, paper browned, scattered foxing. Important treatise complete with 5 folded plates (including the frontispiece) which are often missing. The work is divided into 3 parts: le Modèle du Cavalier; le Dialogue de l'Autheur, par demandes et réponses; l'Écurie. Samuel Fouquet was "Écuyer de la Grande Écurie du Roi. We do not know, says Duplessis, when he was born or when he died; but, from certain passages in his works, we can assume that he was born at the beginning of the seventeenth century, and from Colletet's dedication of Le Cavalier Parfait, that he died shortly before 1678. He was a relative of Nicolas Fouquet, Louis XIV's superintendent of finance, who was sentenced to life imprisonment as a concussionist." Mennessier de la Lance. From the library of Paul Couturier de Royas with two ex libris vignettes.
