ref. 020279Anonyme, L'Office de la Vierge Marie pour tous les temps de l'année, reveu et corrigé de nouveau selon de Sainct Concile de Trante Avec toutes les prières des heures du jour et de la nuict composées par le R.P. Coton de la Compagnie de Jésus, enrichy de figures de nouvelles invention [suivi de] Pierre Coton, Oraisons pour tous chrestiens et catholiques. Paris, Guillaume Loyson [et pour le second titre] Paul Mansan, sd [1624]. In-8, [32]-244-48ff (nombreuses erreurs de pagination). Belle édition répertoriée nulle part, et donc non signalée dans la Bibliothèque de la Compagnie de Jésus (Bruxelles, Schepens, 1891. Tome 2, col.1555-1556). L'ouvrage nous indique une première édition en 1618 puis des rééditions en 1619, 1627, 1628, etc. Une édition Loyson est signalée en 1640. On notera que le lien entre les deux éditeurs n'est pas inédit. Mansan publie un Théâtre français en 1624 et on trouve des exemplaires à l'adresse de Loyson datés 1625 (éditions partagée ? Remise en vente ? Réimpression ?). Nous avons toutefois identifié un ouvrage proche, dont la première partie était à l'adresse de Philippe Gaultier en 1630 (Alde, 8 juin 2012, n°156) sans pouvoir affirmer qu'il s'agit du même ouvrage. Notre édition est donc illustrée de 26 figures de nouvelle invention que nous n'avons, là aussi, retrouvé nulle part. Le titre-frontispice est signé Roussel, les gravures des mois sont signées « D », « Dauuel » ou « Estienne Dauuel ». Certains gravures à pleine page sont signées Roussel mais il semble qu'une autre signature ait été gratté et que ce Roussel se soit approprié ces gravures. Quoi qu'il en soit, ces gravures sont à rapprocher de celles de Jean Messager (1572-1649) pour l'édition latine de 1610. Deux pages (234R° et 239V°) sont restées blanches. Il est probable que des gravures étaient destinées (début des litanies de Jésus et de celles de la Vierge). Plein maroquin rouge à la Duseuil, dos lisse ornée (sans titre), roulette sur les coupes, traces de fermoirs, tranches dorées. Frottements aux coiffes, mors très légèrement craquelés (en surface), un coin cassé, usures aux coins. Titre avec manque comblé anciennement avec un morceau d'une autre gravure, quelques rousseurs, certains cahiers légèrement brunis. Une garde blanche en partie détachée. Très bel ouvrage, rare.

One of the rarest books on a crucial moment in the history of the Subcontinent.Front fly-leaf cordially inscribed by one G. Jain to Mr and Mrs Paul B. Mason 'by one of whom they consider as their own son' dated 1948; large printed and folded leaf of all the meetings of Pethick-Lawrence Stafford Cripps and V. A.
