BOILLOT, Joseph (1546-c.1603). New Termis Buch von allerley grossen vierfüssigen Thieren zugerichtet. [?Strassburg:] 1604.
2° (308 x 192mm). Title in red and black within engraved border, incorporating various animals and Boillot's device at head. 55 full-page illustrations of 'Termis', including 39 signed engravings and 16 woodcuts by Boillot. Woodcut head- and tailpieces, initials. (Approx. 6 leaves with mainly short, closed marginal tears, touching image on A1r, light mainly marginal soiling, small stain on E1 affecting two words.) 19th-century mottled calf gilt by Rivière, central arabaseque in gilt on sides, gilt spine with label, gilt edges (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: ARCHIBALD PHILIP EARL OF ROSEBERY (bookplate; sold Sotheby's, 25 May 1995, lot 7).
RARE FIRST EDITION IN GERMAN, THE ROSEBERY COPY of Boillot's Termes (see previous lot). Blunt describes the German edition as "a series of fantastic designs for therms, in which the entablatures are supported by animals, grouped in pairs according to the 'antipathy' between them as indicated by the Natural History of Pliny and other ancient authors" (Blunt Art and Architecture in France 1500-1570, p.146). Contrary to the French edition, each page of the German edition consists of an illustration with the accompanying text column next to it. Several of the illustrations are taller than those in the French edition. Berlin Kat. 3923; Bibliotheca Bibliographica Aureliana 92.
