Item description from seller

Paris, Emmanuel Richard, 1578. 12°, 2 works in one volume, 50-(2) pages ; 127-(1) pages ; 19th-century gold calf, gilt spine with raised bands, boards ruled in triple gilt fillets, boards edges ruled in double gilt fillets, gilt turn-ins (binding by Petit successeur de Simier). Joint lightly rubbed. Rare volume containing Ramus's Latin Grammar bound with its abridgement ; first editions given by his friend Nicolas Bergeron. The first edition of Ramus's Latin Grammar appeared in 1559. In the same year, he published an anonymous abridgement entitled Rudimenta grammaticae (Paris, Wechel, 1559). According to Ong, this abridgement was redone by Nicolas Bergeron in 1578 after Ramus's death. (cf. Dominique Couzinet, Inventaire bibliographique des ?uvres de Pierre de La Ramée, dit Ramus (1515-1572), p. 36). Nicolas Bergeron was a polymath and lawyer at the Parliament of Paris. He was one of the two executors of Petrus Ramus. He published a new edition of the compendium of Ramus's grammar and an important collection of prefaces, letters and speeches by Ramus and Omer Talon. (cf. Dominique Couzinet, "Ramus, philosophe, humaniste, réformateur des arts et des sciences") Two rare publications by the Parisian bookseller Emmanuel Richard. This little-known Parisian bookseller ran Plantin's Paris branch for 7 months in 1577, before it was sold to Michel Sonnius due to financial difficulties. Through his wife Jehanne Du Puys, Richard was related to the great Parisian bookseller Jacques Du Puys, who probably recommended him to Plantin. Between 1577 and 1583, he only published half a dozen books. In 1578, his shop was located rue Saint-Jean de Beauvais, « à l'enseigne de Saint-Michel ». He stopped publishing in 1583 but pursued his retail activity and valuations. His name is last mentioned in 1597 in the valuation of the books of the late Jehan Dulac, adviser to the Châtelet. (Cf. Denis Pallier, "La fin de la succursale plantinienne de Paris (1577) : Emmanuel Richard, facture de Plantin", Revue française d'histoire du livre, premier trimestre 1978, n° 1978). Ong, Ramus and Talon inventory, n° 548 et n° 520.
