Petit in-folio (255 x 183 mm) de 6 ff.n.ch., CXXXVI ff.ch. Collation : A B-z6 n4. Titre imprimé en rouge et en noir orné d'une grande vignette gravée sur bois représentant l'auteur et des scribes. Basane marbrée, dos lisse, tranches rouges (reliure du XVIIIe siècle). Voir Bechtel, C-88 ; Schwerdt, I, 128 (édition semblable mais imprimée en 1533); Brunet, II, 417 (sans détail) ; voir l'exemplaire Huzard, II, 678. Cette édition manque à Jeanson, Frank et Thiébaud.Rarissime édition en français et illustrée du Ruralium Commodorum Opus ou Profits Champestres, également connue sous le titre du Bon ménager de Pierre de Crescens.Il s'agit ici d'une édition non datée, donnée par les deux imprimeurs Jehan Petit et Michel le Noir. La seule édition que Bechtel répertorie est datée de 1516 - il en mentionne une autre avec une collation quasi identique, imprimée par seulement P. le Noir et dont il situe la date vers 1518.Cette belle édition est illustrée d'une grande vignette sur le titre, suivi du texte, composé en 12 chapitres dont chacun est orné d'une belle vignette gravée sur bois (répétée 4 fois, notamment en début des chapitres 1, 4, 8, et 11).Comme l'édition décrite par Schwerdt, on trouve ici le beau bois gravé au feuillet 118 annonçant le chapitre consacré aux oiseaux de proie, leur élevage et le soin à apporter à ces animaux précieux. Ce grand collectionneur anglais ne possédait aucune édition française de Crescens publiée avant 1533."Traité des plus intéressants sur l'art de cultiver la vigne et de faire le vin, traité dont l'auteur, connu sous le nom de Petrus de Crescentiis ou Pierre Crescenzi, se désigne lui-même comme suit: "Petrus ex Crescentia natus, civis Bononiensis". "Le Livre IV est entièrement consacré à la vigne et au vin: "De vitibus et vineis et cultu carum, ac natura et utilitate fructus ipsarum" (Simon).S'inspirant à la fois des grands auteurs latins - Caton, Varron, Palladius ou Columelle -, Crescens consigna dans son traité d'économie rurale le fruit de ses propres observations ainsi que les informations qui lui furent communiquées par les savants de l'université de Bologne.Rédigé avec le plus grand soin et relu par plusieurs savants, dont Fra Amerigo da Piacenza, l'ouvrage connut un succès immédiat et essaima très vite dans toute l'Europe. Charles V le fit traduire en français en 1373, et ce fut l'un des premiers textes que l'on ait livré aux presses après l'invention de l'imprimerie, ce qui montre l'estime dont il était l'objet dans les cercles humanistes (la première edition latine a paru à Augsbourg en 1471).Ce livre capital, "prototype de toutes les Maisons rustiques" (Thiébaud), était aussi, lors de sa publication en 1471, le premier ouvrage imprimé renfermant une section entièrement consacrée à la chasse, les autres chapitres abordant tous les aspects de la vie rurale : agriculture, labourage, jardinage, plantes comestibles et médicinales, élevage, culture de la vigne, apiculture, alimentation, etc.3 feuillets comportant des restaurations anciennes. Feuillet viii avec reprise de quelques lettres, petites taches occasionnelles ; reliure habilement restaurée.Provenance : Bibliotheca J. Richard (cachet répété sur le titre, le premier feuillet de table, et sur le premier feuillet chiffré).…

Store description
Opening from Monday to Saturday from 10am to 1pm and from 2.30pm to 7pm (Monday and Saturday to 6pm) Established in 1932, Librairie Clavreuil (ex-Librairie Thomas-Scheler) is located between the Sénat, Luxembourg garden and Odéon square, in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood, within the famous Quartier Latin. The shop was first run by Lucien Scheler, a friend of Paul Eluard, Picasso and the Surréalistes poets and painters, until 1977 when he sold it to Bernard Clavreuil, his employee since 1962. Bernard Clavreuil belongs to the third generation of a family of antiquarian booksellers established in the Quartier Latin since the end of the 19th century. He has been running the shop at 19 rue de Tournon for over 40 years, which had belung to his grandfather before World War I. Thanks to our relentless pursuit to find rare books in France, Europe, and all over the world, Librairie Clavreuil has become one the leading antiquarian bookshops, where curators and bookmen meet to find the items missing in their collections.…
