Marc-Antoine Girard SAINT-AMANT - Moyse sauvé, Idile heroïque

Chez Antoine de Sommaville | à Paris 1660 | 8.50 x 14 cm | relié Chez Antoine de Sommaville | à Paris 1660 | 8.50 x 14 cm | relié | Nouvelle édition, après l\'originale parue en 1653. Un frontispice allégorique, non signé, mais assez finement gravé. Reliure en plein velin souple d\'époque. à rabats. Dos lisse, avec titre à la plume illisible et estompé. Une petite tache brune sur le plat supérieur. Le frontispice effrangé en marge. Bon exemplaire, bien frais. Oeuvre la plus célèbre de son auteur, et dont la prosodie classique aura permis de passer à la postérité. Bien que n\'appartenant à aucune école, et surtout pas celle de Malherbe et de ses disciples, le style et la manière de Saint-Amant sont classiques, racontant dans le genre épique et en vers suivis l\'histoire de Moïse. On pourra trouver à cette poésie très lisible et hyperbolique de nets échos de Victor Hugo. Préface de l\'auteur. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] New edition, after the first published in 1653. An allegorical frontispiece, unsigned, quite finely engraved. Bound in full contemporary soft vellum. Smooth spine, with illegible and faded penned title. Small brown stain on upper board. Frontispiece faded in margin. A good, fresh copy. The author\'s most famous work, whose classical prosody is still acclaimed today. Although not a member of any school, and especially not that of Malherbe and his disciples, Saint-Amant\'s style and manner are classical, recounting the story of Moses in the epic genre and in continuous verse. This highly readable, hyperbolic poetry has clear echoes of Victor Hugo. Preface by the author. *
