‎London: Navarre Society Ltd. no-date 1921. First thus. Two volumes with nearly 100 illustrations by Robinson including the two frontis pieces. Originally published by Grant Richards in 1904 in a quarto edition privately reprinted for the Navarre Society in this reduced octavo format. Geoffrey Beale Book Collector No. 40 notes: "To those who think of him as a gentle humorist perhaps the most surprising of Heath Robinson's books is the edition of Rabelais.To the unprepared reader finding here visions of hell that are truly horrific and a raw power and earthiness that is exactly in tune with Rabelais' narrative style might well ask whether this is the work of the same artist." Shimmering blue cloth Blanck's AA boards with gold stamped lettering design and rule; page top edges gilt. Spines toned gilt still quite bright light unavoidable offset to endpapers small stain and tiny hole in rear blank volume I which has also shows rear hinge repair. Still an altogether attractive set.

A beautiful and complete copy of the very scarce first complete edition in English of Rabelais' 'Gargantua and Pantagruel' in an elegant English contemporary binding.François Rabelais c.1494 - 1553 writer physician humanist anatomist scholar monk and wit published this his magnum opus of satire parody wine and humour over the course of many years beginning in 1532 with the first book and concluding only after his death in 1553 with the publication of the possibly spurious fifth book c.1564. Rabelais' epic first issued under the anagrammatic pseudonym 'Alcofribas Nasier' is indebted to Erasmus and his 'The Praise of Folie' and has been extraordinarily influential. To place Rabelais at the side of Dante Boccaccio Cervantes Shakespeare and the giants of European literature is in no way to exaggerate his importance. Rabelais' influence on the development of the novel and the English novel in particular is uncontested. A first suggested imitation of Rabelais' style in English has been dated to as early as 1534 Book I was likely published in 1532 while the influence on Swift Sterne and Robert Burton is overtly apparent. Shakespeare is posited to have read Rabelais 'As You Like It' refers to 'Gargantua's mouth' and despite Joyce's denials both 'Ulysses' and 'Finnegans Wake' feature elements with characteristics of the Rabelaisian.The first two books were translated into English by Sir Thomas Urquhart 1611 - 1660 here listed as Urchard a noted Royalist author he outlined his own universal language in his 'Logonpandecteision' of 1653 and translator most famous for this highly-regarded translation of Rabelais and the likely apocryphal legend that he died of laughter on hearing of the restoration of Charles II. Urquhart's Book I and Book II were published in 1653 and 1664 before their reissue here by Peter Motteux together with the first printing of Urquhart's translation of Book III and Motteux's own translations of Book IV and Book V the 'Pantagruelian Prognostication' and additional work by Rabelais including his 'Letters Written . During His Stay in Italy in the Year 1536'. The extensive laudatory material printed in Book I including 'Some Learned Mens' Opinion of Dr. Rabelais' Nahum Tate's 'A Familiar Epistle to Mr. Baldwin On His Publishing the Translation of Rabelais' 'On the Incomparable Works of the Learned Dr. Rabelais' On the Works of Rabelais Translated' and 'On the Most Diverting Works of the Learned Dr. Rabelais' are all printed here for the first time.Due to the complicated publication history - not to mention the complications of the bibliographical records - with Book III published the year before the remaining texts and the fact that Book I and Book II were likely issued together in a single volume they are usually found bound as one as possibly were Book IV and Book V it is uncommon to find copies that are either complete or that are bound in uniform style at a contemporary date as is the present set. The present set is a wonderful exemplar of an important seventeenth century text in English preserved remarkably in its first binding.'Belinski called Rabelais a genius the sixteenth-century Voltaire and his novel one of the best of times past. Because of his literary power and historical importance Western literary critics and writers place him immediately after Shakespeare or even next to him. The French Romanticists especially Chateaubriand and Hugo included him among the greatest 'geniuses of humanity' of all times and nations. He was and is still considered not only a great writer but a sage and a prophet . his place in history among the creators of modern European writing such as Dante Boccaccio Shakespeare and Cervantes is not subject to doubt. Rabelais not only determined the fate of French literature and of the French literary tongue but influenced the fate of world literature as well . '.
