JOUSSE, Mathurin (1607-c.1692). Le Théâtre de l'Art de Charpentier.La Flèche: Georges Griveau, 1627.
2 parts in 1 volume, 2° (306 x 200mm.). Engraved title, 89 woodcut illustrations numbered I-CXXV, including 12 double-page in the first part, and 7 unnumbered woodcut illustrations including 2 full-page in the second part, woodcut initials and head- and tailpieces, 12 leaves bound as double-page plates on guards to avoid loss to illustration. (2 sheets in quire Z reversed, some old dampstaining, mainly to top outer corner.) Old vellum. Provenance: Etienne Tahureau (signature).
FIRST EDITION of Jousse's manual on timber-frame construction, with, as often, his brief treatise on the orders of columns, based on Vignola's work, appended at the back. This copy has occasional marginalia in the hand of Etienne Tahureau. Little is known of the author, who published a treatise on locks and metal-work at Griveau's press in 1627, and a work on stereotomy in 1635. He may have been connected with the Jesuit college at La Flèche, possibly as its architect. Berlin Kat. 2533 (lacking architectural treatise); Fowler 161 (1751 edition); Brunet III.581 (1659 edition).
