About This Item
Rouen: Raphael de petit Val, dans la court du Palais, 1587. Later Edition. Fine. Rare edition of this famous satirical work, where, as the title suggests, a "Parliament of Love" renders various judgments, which are all occasions to mock playful behavior. Thus, the fourth stop is given to "a lady [who] complained about her friend, who had kissed her [kissed] so roughly, falling her, that one hardly saw the end of her shirt", the eighth, an "arrest on the different of a cord, given by the Friend to the Lover, then lost, & found in the hands of another Lover, & put in sequestration", or again the thirtieth, where "a friend complains that in order to serve his Lady he has taken everything down, which since has not taken him into account, concluding that she is condemned to maintain him as before ". This edition, giving the Latin and French text is partly original, since it is the first to bring the number of stops to 53. Title-frontispiece (missing at lower right corner of sheet Nn1, with loss of a few letters, and at lower right corner of sheet Rr2, without loss, some stains and slight foxing). Old vellum à la Bradel, handwritten title on the spine.

About John and Tabitha's Kerriosity Bookshop
I love books. Always an eager reader, I started collecting Antiquarian books while a teenager and studying history. Flash forward a couple of decades and I am excited to open a new all-digital bookstore to continue my love of books, while bringing desired books to readers, collectors, and other sellers. From Post-Incunables to modern First Editions, I will be regularly adding new stock.
