[DU FAIL, Noël]. Les Contes et discours d'Eutrapel. By the late Seigneur de la Herissaye, Gentil-homme Breton. A Rennes, pour Noël Glamet, de Quinpercorentin, 1598. In-16 (h = 115 mm.), (5) ff. 549 pp. (sign. A-Mm 8). 18th century havana morocco, spine ribbed, brown title-piece, ornamented caissons, gilt roulettes at edges and endpapers, gilt dominoté paper endpapers, edges gilt on marble (headcap and corners worn, small stains on covers, but a good copy). Only 2 copies in the CCFr (BnF). According to the BnF, the address is false. "After Propos Rustiques (1547) and Baliverneries, ou Contes nouveaux d'Eutrapel (1548) (...) the lord of La Hérissaye published Contes et Discours d'Eutrapel in 1585. The trio of devisants, Lupolde, Polygame and Eutrapel, are again present, but this mature work has gained in depth: comic tales alternate with moral reflections on the issues of the day (justice, human relations, illness, politics)". M. C. Thomine-Richard (2019). USTC 60675, 6 copies. Gay II, 690. RABELAISIAN LITERATURE.
