MONTAIGNE, Michel Eyquem de (1533-1592). Les essais de Michel seigneur de Montaigne. Edition nouvelle, trouvée après le décèds de l'Autheur, reveue & augmentée par luy d'un tiers plus qu'aux précédentes Impressions. Paris: Michel Sonnius, 1595.
2° (329 x 203 mm). Large woodcut printer's device to title [Renouard, Marques Typographiques Parisennes 1047], woodcut vignettes and initials. (Some light browning.) 17th century calf, spine gilt (joints expertly repaired, some rubbing.) Provenance: Henricus Sonnius, presumably a member of the publisher's family (ownership inscription, dated 1611); A. vander Beke (owner’s name on title and purchase information “Brussels 29 July 1732” on front free endpaper); Andreas Franciscus Jaerens (large armorial bookplate, engraved by F. Harrewyn “equitis et armorum reguli”).
FIRST COMPLETE EDITION, ENLARGED AND EDITED BY MONTAIGNE'S ADOPTED DAUGHTER, Marie le Jars de Gournay. The printing was divided between Sonnius and Abel l'Angelier. This works comprises all three parts (two parts only had been previously published in Bordeaux in 1580). The Sonnius copies do not include the preface “Au lecteur” or the passage “car qui se mesle… Chrysippum sequor” found in the Angelier copies. First state of the errata leaf. The privilege on the verso of the title is dated 15 October 1594. "Montaigne devised the essay form in which to express his personal convictions and private meditations, a form in which he can hardly be said to have been anticipated. The most elaborate essay, the Apologie de Raimond Sebonde, is second to no other modern writing in attacking fanaticism and pleading for tolerance. He finds a place in the present canon, however, chiefly for his consummate representation of the enlightened scepticism of the sixteenth century, to which Bacon, Descartes, and Newton were to provide the answers in the next" (PMM). Adams M-1622; Graesse VI, 579; see PMM (for the first 1580 edition). Tchemerzine VIII, 408.
