Kimball Brooker (sale, Sotheby?s New York, part 1, 11 October 2023, lot 55).*** This volume belonged to the most celebrated sixteenth-century Lyonese bibliophile, the jurist Benoît Le Court, whose gold-tooled arms occupy the center of the stamp on each cover. It contains the first de Tournes edition of an anthology of three early Christian poets, intended for the use of students. Juvencus? 4th-century rendering of the Gospels in proper Virgilian Latin, was fed to schoolboys for generations: ?the cold correctness of the work recommended it to the taste of the Middle Ages, when it was frequently quoted, imitated, and copied? (The Catholic Encyclopedia [1919], 8: 586). It is joined by Sedulius? early 5th-century Carmen paschale, another adaptation of the Gospels, in hexameters, and the 6th-century Ligurian poet Arator?s De Actibus Apostolorum, a history of the Apostles, also in epic verse. These works were already out of fashion: in the dedication to the humanist Cardinal Georges d?Armagnac (ca. 1501?1585), the anonymous editor complains that today?s readers, avid for novelty, no longer read these old models of pure Latin. But no doubt relying on school orders, De Tournes issued two more editions, from Lyon in 1566 and Geneva in 1588. The family armorial of Benoît Le Court ("D'azur à trois molettes d'or"), misattributed by Guigard, was first correctly identified at the end of the 19th century. Although no inventory survives, 85 volumes from Le Court?s library, containing over 200 titles, have been identified to date from his various armorial binding stamps and from purchase inscriptions (by Hélène Lannier, in her 2018 doctoral dissertation). His library forms ?the most homogenous ensemble available to us of sixteenth-century Lyonese bookbinding? (Toulet, p. 147). Le Court was not a wealthy or princely collector: he was a prosperous bourgeois of la Robe, and most of his books were soberly bound. Although he corresponded with contemporary poets, and he himself published a couple of humanist texts (including a Latin juridical commentary on Martial d?Auvergne?s Arrests d?Amour), many of the texts in his library were theological, not surprisingly for a curé (of the village of Coise) and one of seven jurist-officers of the Lyon Cathedral, known as ?Chevaliers de l'église de Lyon.? The interlace panel stamp of the present binding appears to be a unique survival, being recorded on no other bindings. A different entrelac panel stamp was used on another small format (sextodecimo) book with Le Court?s arms, a 1548 Lyonese edition of Livy (the copy was in the collection of Mme. T. Belin, sold in 1936), in which the interlaces are curved rather than mostly right-angled as here. The binder of both is unknown. Jean Toulet praised the two bindings as belongi.
