First edition.
Antoine Fusy, Jesuit and professor at the Sorbonne is at the beginning of the 17th century in breach of ban with his order. The Jesuit preachers indeed defended the merits of tyrannicide, which was an undisguised threat to the King of France who protected the Protestants of the kingdom.
While Henri IV was assassinated by a Catholic fanatic, Fusy went into exile in Geneva in 1619 and converted to Protestantism.
He wrote there this very violent pamphlet towards the Roman Church, whose style is sometimes quite raw.

L' Héraclite chrestien c'est a dire les regrets & les larmes du pêcheur penitent. 

Paris, Nicolas du Fossé, 1612.
More Details >
450 €

First edition.
Pierre de Besse, preacher from the beginning of the 17th century was inspired by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, whose legend, peddled by Diogenes Laerce, said that he was perpetually in tears in front of the fate of men to draw from it a Christian Heraclitus desperate for the sins of the Men.
He will publish 3 years later the "Christian Democrite" showing a hilarious Democrite in front of the world as it is.

These two books did a lot to popularize the archetypes of a weeping Heraclitus and a laughing Democritus, which can be found in many works of art throughout the 17th century. One thinks in particular of the "Weeping Philosopher" of Rubens painted around 1636, or the Democrites of Velasquez and Rembrandt.

Le Grant Coustumier de Bourgogne. 

Paris, François Regnault, 1534-1535.
More Details >
4000 €

Completely revised and expanded edition of the custom of Burgundy by Chasseneuz.

A book on the origins of French law.
Chasseneuz's comments on customary law in Burgundy draw heavily on Roman law. Following him, other authors will revise local customary rights, such as Bouhier with the Customs of Berry. At the beginning of the 16th century, all customary law was thus reviewed and put back in order, constituting a legal corpus which would serve as the basis for the great reform of the Napoleonic Code.
"The appearance of his book was an event in the legal world. Its success soon exceeded the limits of Burgundy. [...] We saluted, in its author, the man who, the first, had just introduced the light of Roman law in the chaos of local customs." PIGNOT, "A Jurisconsult in the Sixteenth Century: Barthélemy de Chasseneuz", Larose, 1880

Beautiful Gothic print on two columns embellished with initials and 7 full-page engravings of inheritance trees. The completely revised edition of 1534 appears with a sequel, dated 1535 and with its own title page, listing all the additions to the Commentaries of Chasseneuz published in 1517 and 1528.

From a follower of the Boucicaut Master.

The painter uses an extensive palette with sharp contrasts, and does not hesitate to use a bright minium red that he contrasts with the blues and greens in the happiest of ways.
The abstract backgrounds and the systematic use of a grassy ground, give to the whole manuscript a beautiful coherence and a great elegance.

Some of the preserved paintings, such as those of the Annunciation to the Shepherds, the Crucifixion, and St. Margaret, bear witness to the artist's talent and the high quality of this manuscript.

It should be noted that the composition of the The Flight into Egypt is closely mirrors of a Boucicaut composition.
