Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. A scarce, late 16th century edition of Prodigious stories extracted from several famous authors, divided into five books, and enriched with nearly 92 beautiful woodcuts. A rather rare and curious work, the collection covers various tales of an admonitory or educative nature, drawn from biblical,…classical or other reputable sources, meant to delight and bewilder the reader. Stories of demons, sea monsters, monstrous humans, comets, earthquakes and floods, unnatural and natural phenomena, the works are by Boaistuau, with additional tales by de Tesserant, de Belleforest, and Hoyer. A very rare and curious work. It deals with sea monsters, Siamese twins, thunder entering a girl's mouth and exiting through her private parts, a child born half-man, half-dog, etc. The two volumes added to Boaistuau's are by Claude de Tesserant and François de Belleforest. Many of the woodcuts are truly bizarre in nature, enhancing the impact of each tale and scenes. There are early depictions of Siamese twins, a rather shocking woodcut of a thunder creature entering through the mouth of a woman and out her vagina, monstrous, furred beings of an anthropomorphic nature and much, much more. USTC records 13 existing copies of this edition in libraries. One finely bound volume in 12mo, 720+(8) pages This volume is in very good shape, with a vertical split to the front cover, with some rubbing to the binding as well. The first three leaves bear some minor restorations, and there is some soiling and staining throughout.

Cavellat's woodcut printer'…s device on each title, a larger version repeated on verso of last of volumes IV and VI, numerous nearly 1/2 page woodcuts in text, generally at the beginning of each tale, one fold out woodcut of a knife (often missing) in volume VI, floriated woodcut initials and headpieces. Light age yellowing, minor marginal spotting in places, light water stain to volumes II, V and VI, the odd marginal spot. Good copies, a bit short, finely bound in early C18th red morocco, covers bordered with a triple gilt rule, spines with gilt ruled raised bands, compartments gilt 'a la grotesque,' inner dentelles gilt, all edges gilt. A lovely set of this beautifully printed and illustrated popular work, a collection of stories of Monsters and extraordinary events. The original 40 stories by Boaistuau in volume I of this set were first published in 1560 and were hugely popular, leading to many further editions with additions by other authors, culminating in this set, with the addition of 15 stories in volume II by Claude de Tesserant, 17 in volume III by Bellesforest, 11 in volume IV by Rod Hoyer, 8 stories in vol V translated from the Latin of Arnauld Sorbin by Belleforest, and 6 anonymous stories (by I. D. M.) in the final volume. Boaistuau and Belleforest's popular reworking of these tales, and their other translations, had tremendous influence in England, especially on the playwrights of the Elizabethan period, Shakespeare included, who often used their stories as the basis for their works. The first manuscript of this work, now in the Wellcome Library, was dedicated and presented to Elisabeth I by Boaistuau. Histoires Prodigieuses is an example of a genre of literature that was immensely popular in the 16th and 17th centuries: tales of an admonitory or educative nature, drawn from biblical, classical or other reputable sources, that were nonetheless intended to astonish and delight the reader. It is not so much an original creative work of literature as a compilation and retelling of stories that derive largely from earlier authoritative sources and thereby gain added credibility and value. Boaistuau, whose final work it proved to be, had already published several such compilations before Histoires Prodigieuses in a brief flurry of activity from 1556, and indeed he helped establish the genre as his works continued to be expanded, reissued and translated by others after his death.' Dr. Richard Aspin, Wellcome Library. He pretends that he has compiled his little book to show how the anger of God and the violence of his justice are manifested in abominations of nature, so that men might search their consciences and be horrified at their misdeeds. Volume VI contains a story of a woman (undoubtedly possessed by the devil), who was stabbed in the side and lived for a year with the knife protruding from her until it was removed by a German doctor. The story is illustrated with a folding plate of a life size portrait of the knife as it was once removed from her body. One suspects that his real motivation was sensationalism, always a best seller. The text is extensively illustrated with woodcuts of monsters and prodigies, which suggests the popular market. Pierre Boaistuau, called Launay (d. 1566) is described by the Nouv. Biog. Gén. as "un bon parleur et non sans une certaine érudition." A most interesting, readable work. "The subject was a popular one and the blocks were well designed." Harvard C16th. Fr. 103 on the first edition with illustrations. These later editions mention America, cf. Alden 595/9. BM STC FR. C16th p. 70. Brunet I 982-3. Wellcome 898 (earlier edition).
