Paris, Théodore Girard, 1666.In-12 de (10) ff., 72 pp. mal chiffrées 84. Quelques mouillures. Relié en vélin souple de l'époque, dos lisse. Etui. Reliure de l'époque. 139 x 80 mm. --- Rarissime contrefaçon de l'édition originale de l'une des principales tragédies de Racine, non mentionnée par les bibliographes. C'est l'une des pièces les plus recherchées de Racine. La présente édition, qui n'est mentionnée par aucun bibliographe, possède la même pagination que l'originale, hormis l'extrait du privilège qui ne figure évidemment pas dans les feuillets préliminaires, et elle reproduit les erreurs de pagination de l'originale. Le titre, au lieu de la marque « à l'Envie » de Girard gravée sur cuivre, est orné d'un panier de fleurs gravé sur bois. Alexandre le Grand, seconde pièce de Racine, fut représentée à Paris à compter du 4 décembre 1665. « Dans cette ?uvre de jeunesse, Racine cède au goût héroïco-galant, avec un Alexandre parfait amant, un Porus à la fois amoureux et héros au langage fleuri de préciosité. La tragédie plut : l'amour y était traité avec grâce ; nous trouvons çà et là quelques traits plus sentis qui font présager le futur poète de la femme et de l'amour ». (Dictionnaire des ?uvres, I, 81). Bon exemplaire conservé dans sa première reliure en vélin souple de l'époque. Nous n'avons pu localiser aucun exemplaire de cette contrefaçon dans l'ensemble des Institutions publiques du monde (OCLC). /// Paris, Théodore Girard, 1666.12mo [139 x 80 mm] of (10) ll., 72 pp. misnumbered 84. A few waterstains. Bound in contemporary limp vellum, flat spine. Slipcase. Contemporary binding. --- Extremely rare counterfeit publication of the first edition of one of Racine's main tragedies, not mentioned by bibliographers. It is one of the most sought-after plays by Racine. The present edition, which is not mentioned by any bibliographer, has the same pagination as the first one, except of course the extract of the privilege which does not appear in the preliminary leaves and it reproduces the same mistakes of pagination as the first one. The title, instead of the copper-engraved mark "à l'Envie" of Girard, is decorated with a wood-engraved basket of flowers. Alexandre le Grand, Racine's second play, was performed in Paris from December 4th 1665. « In this work of youth, Racine gave in to the heroic and gallant taste, with an Alexandre who is a perfect lover, a Porus who is a man in love and a hero with a language blossoming of preciosity. The tragedy was appreciated: love was treated with grace; we find here and there some touches that are more profound and let portend the future poet of woman and love. » (Dictionnaire des ?uvres, I, 81).A good copy preserved in its original binding in contemporary limp vellum. We haven't been able to locate any copy of this counterfeit edition in any Public Institution in the world (OCLC).…
