Bonne édition de Plutaque rare et recherchée pour la traduction de grec en français par Jacques Amyot dont c'est l'oeuvre la plus importante. On ne sait pas grand chose sur la vie de Plutarque, il est né à Chéronée près de Delphes, il a vécu entre 46 et 125. On lui doit les vies parallèles et Moralia. Jacques Amyot était ecclésiastique et humaniste helléniste. Le traducteur le plus renommé de la Renaissance, il étudie le texte de Plutarque au Vatican. Il fut précepteur de Henri II. Sa traduction de Plutarque est considérée comme son chef-d'?uvre.

Vol. 1 ends with the leaf Fffii (fin du supplement de l'indice) lacks probably leaf iii & iv, presumably blank…. Bound in somewhat later (18th c. ?) half leather, boards covered with marbled paper. edges painted red, with green and red leather title labels. Top turn- in of one volume damaged and partly missing. Last pages of vol. 1 with some old clear waterstains. Still a nice set of a very rare book. This edition of the works by Plutarchus was made by Jacques Amyot (1513 - 1593). The preface ( l'avis au lecteurs) is written by S.G.S. ( Simon Goulart senlisien). The work was printed by François du Corroy as indicated on pp (756) of volume 1. The copy of this work at the BN-Paris has the publisher's name R.Fouet. The only 2 other copies listed on USTC (Edinburgh and Illinois) don't mention a publisher. Our copy is published by Adrien Périer. He was brother of book dealer Jérémie Périer and had previously worked for the book seller Abraham Pacard. In 1599 he married Madeleine Plantin, daughter of the Antwerp printer publisher Christophe Plantin. ( She was previously married until his death to Gilles Beys). Hence the wood-engraved printer's mark on the title page ''Labore et Constantia''; copied after the famous Antwerp example.
