    Description

    Early Edition, Rebound, Very Scarce

    Smartly bound in red cloth with decorative blind-stamped patterns.

    This copy features a frontispiece engraving of Clément Marot.

    This 1825 Paris edition, published by Werdet, is a first thus, the first appearance of this particular anthology, bringing together a selection of poems by Clément Marot (1496–1544), a leading voice of the French Renaissance and court poet to Francis I.

    Born in Cahors and later active in Paris, Marot was deeply influenced by Renaissance humanism and his father, poet Jean Marot. Renowned for his elegant épîtres, chansons, and epigrams, he helped shape the poetic sensibility that would inspire Ronsard and the Pléiade.

    In addition to Marot’s work, the volume includes selections from his poetic predecessors (devanciers), spanning the 12th to 16th centuries, among them troubadours, trouvères, and poets of the grands rhétoriqueurs tradition, offering a broader view of the evolution of French verse leading into the Renaissance.
