A nice copy. xxxii 841 pages. FRANCOIS RABELAIS born between 1483 and 1494; died 1553 was a French Renaissance writer physician Renaissance humanist monk and Greek scholar. He has historically been regarded as a writer of satire the grotesque bawdy jokes and songs. Because of his literary power and historical importance Western literary critics consider him one of the great writers of world literature and among the creators of modern European writing. His best-known work is Gargantua and Pantagruel. His literary legacy is such that the word Rabelaisian has been coined as a descriptive inspired by his work and life. Merriam-Webster defines the word as describing someone or something that is 'marked by gross robust humour extravagance of caricature or bold naturalism'. Rabelais became a novice of the Franciscan order and later a friar at Fontenay-le-Comte in Poitou where he studied Greek and Latin as well as science philology and law already becoming known and respected by the humanists of his era including Guillaume Budé 1467-1540. Harassed due to the directions of his studies and frustrated with the Franciscan order's ban on the study of Greek because of Erasmus' commentary on the Greek version of the Gospel of Saint Luke Rabelais petitioned Pope Clement VII in office 1523-1534 and gained permission to leave the Franciscans and to enter the Benedictine order at Maillezais in Poitou where he was more warmly received. Later he left the monastery to study medicine at the University of Poitiers and at the University of Montpellier. In 1532 he moved to Lyon one of the intellectual centres of the Renaissance and in 1534 began working as a doctor at the Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon hospital for which he earned 40 livres a year. During his time in Lyon he edited Latin works for the printer Sebastian Gryphius and wrote a famous admiring letter to Erasmus to accompany the transmission of a Greek manuscript from the printer. Gryphius published Rabelais' translations & annotations of Hippocrates Galen and Giovanni Manardo. As a physician he used his spare time to write and publish humorous pamphlets critical of established authority and preoccupied with the educational and monastic mores of the time. In 1532 under the pseudonym Alcofribas Nasier an anagram of François Rabelais he published his first book Pantagruel King of the Dipsodes the first of his Gargantua series. The idea of basing an allegory on the lives of giants came to Rabelais from the folklore legend of les Grandes chroniques du grand et énorme géant Gargantua which were sold as popular literature at the time in the form of inexpensive pamphlets by colporters and at the fairs of Lyon. Pantagruelisme is an 'eat drink and be merry' philosophy which led his books into disfavour with the church but simultaneously brought them popular success and the admiration of later critics for their focus on the body. This first book critical of the existing monastic and educational system contains the first known occurrence in French of the words encyclopédie caballe progrès and utopie among others. Despite the book's popularity both it and the subsequent prequel book 1534 about the life and exploits of Pantagruel's father Gargantua were condemned by the "Sorbonne" in 1543 and the Roman Catholic Church in 1545. 8vo.

‎RABELAIS, Francois.‎

‎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. 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 Â… 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. ESTC R202203 & R202205 noting however that apparently the two books were usually sold together R26911 R2564; Pforzheimer 814 815 816. unknown‎
