COQUILLART (Guillaume). The Poems of Guillaume Coquillart, o - Lot 112
COQUILLART (Guillaume). The Poems of Guillaume Coquillart, official of the Church of Rheims. Paris, Antoine-Urbain Coustelier, 1723. In-12, 3 ff. 184-(3) pp. bound in red morocco, triple gilt fillet on boards, spine with gilt rosettes, inner teeth, gilt edges. (Antiquarian binding). The most beautiful early edition of Coquillart's works and the first critical one, the only one published since 1597. Rare and sought-after edition containing Les droits nouveaux, Le Plaidoyer entre la simple et la rusée, L'Enquête entre la simple et la rusée, Le Blason des armes et des dames, Le Monologue de la botte de foin, Le Monologue du puits, Le Monologue des perruques, and the Ballades. Guillaume Coquillart (1450 ? - 1510), canon of Reims, can be considered a disciple of François Villon. He left satirical poems, farces and dramatic monologues of a vigorous realism. PRECIOUS EXAMPLE PRINTED ON VELIN LEATHER, perfectly preserved in its elegant contemporary binding of the time. Only two other copies on vellum seem to be known: that of the Bibliothèque Nationale and that of Harle Ian. Bibliothèque Nationale and the Harle Ian Library. Van Praet: Books printed on vellum, IV, p. 177, n° 241.
