AUBIGNE (AGRIPPA D').
Ɵ Petites œuvres meslées. Geneva, Pierre Aubert, 1630. in-8, red morocco, triple gilt fillet, ornate spine, interior roulette, gilt edges (A. Ledoyen). First edition. A second state copy with the relay title dated 1630: the first state of the title, entitled Second recueil des petites œuvres and dated 1629, is extremely rare. The last work published during the author's lifetime, who was to die on May 9, 1630. The major part of the volume is occupied by erudite Meditations on the Psalms, and a version in measured verse of these sacred texts. The last part includes L'Hyver, a piece in which the poet takes a lucid look at his life as a soldier, evokes with emotion the departed loved ones, and prepares himself, with a calmer spirit, to join them (N. Ducimetière, Mignonne..., n°116). From the library of Henri Burton. Washed copy, some leaves a little short at the head. Tchemerzine, t. I, p. 183. - Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire..., n°17.
