Title A name given to the resource Méspris de la cour, et louange de la vie rustique. Composé premièrement en Espagnol par Antoine de Gueuarre ... & depuis traduit en Italien, François et Allemand […] Description An account of the resource A binding of parchment on cardboard, this binding has had its blind-stamped ornamentations coloured black. Its title has also been handwritten in ink on the spine. Note the demi-lune shape of the textblock’s fore-edge: this is a technique typical of bindings that were held closed with metal clasps. The outer edges have also been painted in a dark colour, which is typical of a Germanic binding. Was this text once bound within a clasped binding? This work displays the printer’s mark of Étienne Dolet (1509-1546) on its title page. Dolet was an extremely tragic figure in printing history. Born in Orléans, France, in 1509, Dolet was a translator, scholar and printer. Critical of the Inquisition, with purported leanings towards Protestantism, Dolet was accused of atheism and heresy. Dolet was imprisoned several times until he was executed on his 37th birthday in Place Maubert, Paris, burnt to death with his own books. Dolet’s mark depicts an axe poised over a tree branch, with the motto “Scabra, et impolita ad amussim dolo, atque perpolio. - Scabra dolo. - Durior est spectatae virtutis, quam incognitae conditio” which translates partially to “Preserve moy, ô Seigneur, des calumnies des hommes”.

(“This book was given to our House in Paris; it belongs to the Sisters of Vilenne”; “This book belongs to”; “This book belongs to the Sisters of Charity of Vilenne”).

Title A name given to the resource Essai sur la médecine du coeur […] Description An account of the resource This is a tree-calf binding, with the tree-like appearance produced by pouring acid over the leather and the binding moved in a specific way to generate the desired pattern. Using a method that requires a high degree of mastery, the pattern is generated by pouring acid over polished leather. The collection at Archives and Special Collections contains several examples of this technique, one that would have been known to only a privileged few master binders. There are many designs generated onto bindings with the use of acid, the “marbled” effect being the most common. There is also an effect that simulates the mark of a cat’s paw.

Title A name given to the resource Aesopi Phrygis Fabulae elegantissimis eiconibus [B. Salomon] veras animalium species ad viuum adumbrantes […] Description An account of the resource This item has been rebound at least once since its initial binding, this being demonstrated by evidence that the text block has been cut to fit a newer binding. The current binding is on calfskin which has been dyed green. While it is usually morocco leathers, that is, goatskin leathers, that are dyed a variety of colours, it is not unknown for calfskin to undergo a similar aesthetic treatment. Calfskin was less expensive leather than morocco and this was probably an attempt by the book’s owner to have a colourful binding at less cost. The colour of the original calfskin is to be seen along the edges, most likely due to the loss of dye on exposure to sunlight.

The inscription reads “Il y a deux éditions postérieures l’une de Paris 1677 in-8 estimée 3 à 4 fr. L’autre de Francfort 1737 in-8. Ce livre est intéressant il y a beaucoup d’érudition” (“There are two previous editions, one from Paris 1677 in octavo, estimated at 3 to 4 francs. The other is from Frankfurt 1737 in octavo.”) The annotation undoubtedly stems from a bibliophile or bookseller who had this book in their possession. The note serves to indicate which was the first edition of this work and notes the prices of subsequent editions.
