Reference : 16872


‎ Première traduction en français des "Economiques" de Xenophon. La traduction est de François de Ferris, un médecin de Toulouse. C'est un code, un bréviaire pour bien diriger sa maison. Sous la forme d'un dialogue entre Socrate et un jeune athénien, on y devise de l'excellence du mariage et des "remontrances et enseignements que chacun doit donner à sa femme". Le traducteur dans son discours préliminaire espère que les femmes françaises, pour lesquels il écrit, s'efforceront de ressembler à la charmante épouse que peint Xénophon et "pour paraître telles enseveliront ces autres romans, vraies forges de pernicieux exemples." La seconde moitié de l'ouvrage traite de l'agriculture. Un exemplaire de cette édition, conservé à la Bibliothèque Nationale, porte au titre la signature de Montaigne. Signature sur le titre "Horwood". Vélin sali, petits manques sur la coupe supérieure. Bon exemplaire. /// In-8 de 84 ff. Vélin. (Reliure de l'époque.) //// First translation in French of Xenophon's "Economics". The translation is by François de Ferris, a doctor from Toulouse. It is a guide, a breviary to manage one's house well. In the form of a dialogue between Socrates and a young Athenian, it argues about the excellence of marriage and the "admonitions and teachings that each one must give to his wife". The translator in his preliminary speech hopes that the French women, for whom he writes, will strive to resemble the charming wife that Xenophon paints and "to appear such will bury these other novels, true forges of pernicious examples." The second half of the work deals with agriculture. A copy of this edition, preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale, bears Montaigne's signature on the title. Signature on the title "Horwood". Vellum soiled, small lacks on the upper edge. A good copy. /// PLUS DE PHOTOS SUR WWW.LATUDE.NET‎
