1554Best.-Nr. 6336Venice: Plinio Pietrasanta 1554. First edition. Very Good/This essay extolling marriage is an early artifact of modern ethnography in that it poses as a survey of marriage customs through history and around the world. In true humanist fashion Fausto mines the ancient historians for most of his material. So we find out that in Lacedaemonia or Atlantis men who refused to marry were forced to run naked through the forum in the dead of winter and that in Assyria husbands were bound by law to obey their wives. The text concludes with a long series of Q&A "quesiti" concerning marriage ceremonies in which we find out why the Boetians crowned brides with asparagus why Persian couples wait until spring to "consummate" any marriage and why it is customary to grease the newlyweds' doorway with pig fat or wolf fat. The book is also notable for its lovely large woodcut initials including a letter T showing a satyr and a man at table together a P with a bare-breasted woman driving a triumphal chariot and an N with a lion-headed man astride a swimming horse. . Quarto 22 cm; 45 3 pages last leaf blank. Title within woodcut architectural border. Historiated woodcut initials throughout. In half vellum over 17th- or 18th-century woodblock printed paste paper titled in manuscript on spine. Lower board ruptured near corner subsequently rebuilt. Some leaves toned brown. Early ownership inscriptions and later bibliographical notes on front free endpaper and on rear pastedown.

Octavo pp. 1-8 1 2 3-334 335-336: blank note: first two and last leaves are blanks original purple cloth front and spine panels stamped in gold. First edition. The adventures of White Wolf a bull-terrier raised by a wolf in the San Jacinto Mountains. One of 16 novels published that year by the famously prolific Faust. "The animals talk to each other but the story is clearly aimed at adults not children thus placing this in a sub-genre that took shape around the turn-of-the-century and flourished up into the 1920s and beyond with the work of C. G. D. Roberts Jack London Samuel Scoville Jr. and others who brought a naturalistic style as it were to the subject of nature. The animals created by these authors and in the present case Max Brand are neither sentimental nor fabular but are individual "characters" portrayed realistically after careful observation. If the animals are given emotional and reasoning faculties that resemble those of humans this is nothing more than the complement to the main thrust of naturalism which showed the resemblance of humans to animals. The first quarter of the twentieth century finally brought animals into their own as characters in fiction just as the mid- and late-nineteenth century had finally given children the same kind of attention and independence." - Robert Eldridge.
