‎Oeuvres de maitre François Rabelais avec remarques historiques et critiques de Mr. le Duchat. Nouvelle edition‎

‎Amsterdam: Jean Frederic Bernard 1741. Joints of first volume fragile a very attractive set. Three quarto volumes with two frontispieces two engraved decorative titles and 16 plates of which three are folding; contemporary binding of polished calf flat spines gilt with complex ornaments in panels. <p><p>Beautifully printed with an impressive array of engraved plates this is widely considered the most desirable eighteenth-century edition of Rabelais. It is notable for its learned commentary by the scholar Jacob Duchat and for the inclusion of letters and other material related to the life of the master satirist.</p> <p>This lavish enlightenment production contains sixteen plates including three folding studies of Rabelais' family estate of La Déviniere at Indre-et-Loire namely a birds-eye view of the estate with its walled vineyard Rabelais' chamber and the domestic courtyard. As the title-page boasts many of the engravings are from the Amsterdam workshop of Bernard Picart 1673-1738 the gifted Huguenot engraver who emigrated to Amsterdam in 1710. Like many printers of the early decades of the eighteenth century Picart sought refuge in Holland from religious persecution. Today he is best remembered for his role in the monumental enlightenment study of comparative religion Cérémonies et coutumes Religieuses de tous les peuples du Monde. To this edition of Rabelais he contributed a striking portrait frontispiece as a religious exile Picart may well have found sympathy with the irreverent treatment of the clergy in Rabelais' writings.</p> <p>This is an excellent set in a striking contemporary perhaps English binding.</p> </p> .

‎The First Book Third Book; Fourth and Fifth Books of the Works: Containing Five Books of the Lives Heroick Deeds and Sayings of Gargantua And his Sonne Pantagruel.‎

‎London: vol. I printed by Thomas Ratcliffe and Edward Mottershead for Richard Baddeley; vols. II & III printed for Richard Baldwin 1653-93-94. The first English edition of Gargantua and Pantagruel First edition in English of Les Cinq livres des faits et dits de Gargantua et Pantagruel c. 1532 - c. 1564 the work of two different translators published episodically over more than 40 years and so rarely found complete. An eccentric Scottish writer of stylistic and verbal virtuousity or in his own terms a "logofascinated spirit" Works 231 Sir Thomas Urquhart has been considered by many a splendid match for his subject. "This translation has been called 'one of the most perfect transfusions of an author from one language into another that ever man accomplished'" Pforzheimer 814. "In Rabelais Urquhart found a writer whose style and imagination matched his own. Both 'cultivated a taste for a copious robust and original vocabulary. To each of them imagination … furnished a rare selection of racy words in extraordinary abundance' Roe 11" ODNB. Urquhart's translation of Rabelais was his final work. The first volume books I and II appeared in 1653 and was reprinted in 1664 by which time Urquhart had according to family legend died laughing on hearing of Charles II's restoration. The third book left unfinished by him and completed by the Huguenot emigré Peter Anthony Motteux formerly Pierre-Antoine Le Motteux appeared in 1693. Motteux's translation of books IV and V was published in 1694 bringing the cycle to completion. Motteux also published a revision of Urqhart's first two books but the present set retains the original Urqhuart translation of that part. Rabelais "is often censured for his lapses into gross indecency and his physiological and medical obscenities. These may be explained partly as the work of an irrepressible jester writing for a coarse outspoken society. His work incensed the theologians and was condemned by the parlement. He issued a revised edition of the first two books attenuating his insulting references to the theologians but it failed to placate the Sorbonne and both books were again condemned. Moliere drew on him Voltaire and Balzac imitated him but many have censured his obscenity" Reid 509-10. Rabelais had been known in England before this translation; to quote or name him was to signal one's intellectual credentials. A list of those who quoted or alluded to Rabelais before he was translated includes Ben Jonson John Donne John Webster Francis Bacon Robert Burton and James I. Celia in Shakespeare's As You Like It mentions "Gargantua's mouth" as if it were already proverbial. Yet Rabelais's fame and influence increased after Urquhart's translation: his presence is strongly felt in Gulliver's Travels and Tristram Shandy. In spite of Joyce's well-known assertion that he had not read Rabelais he clearly absorbed his work as demonstrated by Finnegans Wake. Laid in is a hand-written letter dated 27 February 1925 from the London dealers Pickering & Chatto to the library of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce describing the set they have despatched as the "finest we have ever possessed or even seen." 5 vols bound in three as usual octavo and duodecimo therefore slightly varying sizes: vol. Books I-II and IV-V each in 2 parts with separate title pages pagination and register. Book III with engraved frontispiece portrait of Rabelais with quote from Theodorus Beza dated 1552 here bound after the title. Book V with full-page woodcut of the "holy bottle" on K4r. I 166 x 107 mm; vol. II 152 x 89 mm; vol. III 155 x 90 mm. Skilfully rebound to match in full mottled calf spines richly gilt in compartments red morocco labels. Book III with the 6 contents leaves moved from end to after the title engraved portrait of Rabelais with small repair at lower outer corner. Book I-II contents likely washed book III with a little marginal staining at beginning and end book IV-V clean; all vols a little tight in the gutter but still readable: overall a very good set.

‎Alle de geestige werken … vervattende in ses boeken de dappere daaden en deftige reedenen van d’overgroote reusen Grandgousier Gargantua en Pantagruel … uyt het Fransch vertaelt door Claudio Gallitalo.‎

‎Amsterdam 1682. 8vo. Jan Claesz. ten Hoorn Contemporary vellum sewn on 3 supports laced through the joints with the manuscript title author volume number and year of publication on the spine red sprinkled edges. With an engraved allegorical title page and a letterpress title page to each volume and several decorated woodcut initials. 2 volumes. 40 717 3 blank 8; 32 456 30 2 blank 136 8 pp. First and only edition of the translation into Dutch of Gargantua and Pantagruel one of the most comical and at the same time philosophical works ever written. As an admirer of Erasmus and undoubtedly also inspired by his Praise of folly the author fights for the Renaissance values in a satirical way with its unique thinking joking fantasies and absurdities criticising the abuses of princes rulers and the prelates of the Church scholasticism and monasticism and promoting "the real wisdom" and an open and humble Christian faith certainly not unlike Erasmus. The work was also in its turn influential for Voltaire Diderot Sterne e tutti quanti.François Rabelais ca. 1490-1553 one of the great writers of world literature physician humanist Greek scholar and monk is primarily famous for his "modern" satirical grotesque and absurd style. His Gargantua and Pantagruel published in five books between 1532 and 1564 is his main work. It relates adventures of the giant Gargantua book 1 and his son Pantagruel book 2-5. The amusing absurd work features much vulgarity erudition and wordplay and introduced many new words to the French language. As such it was a great challenge for any translator. The Dutch language is highly indebted to the translator of Rabelais’ work into Dutch Nicolaas Jachirides Wieringa under his pseudonym Claudio Gallitalo one of the best translators of the Dutch Golden Age. Through his prolific and lively translation based on a profound knowledge of the circumstances and context of the 16th century Wieringa has enriched the Dutch language with a real treasury of many unprecedented beautiful ugly funny original and silly words and a till then totally unknown idiom. He also has added a sixth book to the complete translation which includes many of Rabelais’ letters on the important political issues of the mid-16th century. With the bookplate of the Buijnsters-Smets collection mounted on the front pastedown of both volumes. The vellum is somewhat soiled. The work is lightly browned throughout. Otherwise in good condition.l Scheepers II 670; STCN 850584000 8 complete copies; USTC 1818187 8 copies; Waller 1401. hardcover‎
