BOUCHET, Jean (1476-1557). Les annalles dacquitaine. Paris: Pierre Sergent, 22 May 1540.
The Lord Vernon copy of an early edition of Bouchet’s popular chronicle. A poet and lawyer in Poitiers associated with the Rhétoriqueurs, Bouchet settled in the countryside to write following the arrival of plague in the city. His simple and unpretentious writing, nevertheless tinged with humor and the latest literary trends, gave his historical works a wide appeal. RBH and ABPC record no copies of this edition at auction. Brunet I, 1164; Renouard ICP V 1604.
Folio (258 x 181mm). Title printed in red and black. Woodcut initials, woodcut printer’s device on final leaf. 19th-century red morocco signed by Niedrée, edges gilt (light wear to corners). Provenance: some early marginalia – George John Warren, 5th Baron Vernon (1803-1866, politician and Dante scholar; bookplate, his sale Sotheby’s, 10 June 1918, lot 96).
