‎Les retentissants deux premiers recueils d'odes profanes du plus grand poète néo-latin du XVIe siècle, « l'Horace français », précurseur de la Pléiade En 1528, Jean Salmon, 38 ans, épouse sa compatriote Guillonne Boursault, fleur des jeunes filles loudunaises âgée de 18 ans. De cette muse qu'il surnomme la « rieuse », objet principal de sa poésie, naît, l'année même, un premier recueil de 24 odes en vers latins particulièrement inspirées qui le propulse, immédiatement et unanimement, au rang de maître du genre puis un second en 1530, composé de 4 livres de 28, 20, 29 et 30 pièces, qui feront définitivement de lui le « second Horace ». On retiendra, à titre d'exemple et outre ses odes dédiées à sa femme, celles à Francois Ier, Cupidon, Bacchus ou encore à son ami Erasme. Jean Salmon Macrin (1490-1557) ou plutôt Salmon Macrin dit Macrin, poète néo-latin, valet de chambre et lecteur du roi François Ier dès 1533, occupera ce poste de longues années, aux côtés de son ami Clément Marot mais aussi de Claude Chappuys, du traducteur Antoine Macault et du peintre Jean Clouet. Il l'occupera par la suite à la cour d'Henri II. Créateur d'une poésie personnelle d'un style conforme à l'imitation des Anciens, procédé très prisé à la Renaissance, initiateur d'une école française de poésie en langue latine jusqu'alors inexistante, Macrin est l'unique poète lyrique en vue de sa génération, profondément admiré par ses contemporains. En s'inspirant d'Horace, de Catulle, des élégiaques romains et des poètes néo-latins de la Renaissance italienne, Macrin a apporté un nouveau souffle à la sensibilité poétique de son époque et influencé plusieurs générations de poètes. Mainte caractéristique de son modèle poétique reparaîtra dans les oeuvres de la Pléiade. Aujourd'hui, Macrin est reconnu être le meilleur poète horacisant qui se soit présenté jusque-là. Le 14 juin 1550, à Loudun, Guillonne, âgée de seulement 40 ans, est emportée par la tuberculose pulmonaire dont elle souffrait depuis plusieurs années. Macrin, à jamais inconsolable, lui survivra sept ans mais n'écrira plus un vers. ‎

‎Exceedingly scarce early edition of Badius’ great Navis Stutifere, his moral magnum opus and one of his most important works. The work was inspired by Brandt’s “Das Narrenschiff”, and like Brandts’ work, Badius’ Navis Stultifere (which uses the same title in Latin and refers to Badius on the title-page) is also a treatise on contemporary morals and the vices of man, written in Latin verse and with prose commentaries. This magnificent work is considered one of the most beautiful French books from the beginning of the 16th century. This is the fourth edition of the work, magnificently illustrated with the wonderful suite of the 114 original woodcuts from Brandt’s work (1494). The first edition was published in 1505 and the second and third in 1507 and 1513 respectively. All of the early editions are of the utmost scarcity. Badius’ Navis Stultifera must not be confused with his Stultiferae Naves from 1500, which Badius characterized as a supplement to Brandt’s work, directed at women, whereas the present work, which was first published in 1505, is a moral work in its own right, inspired by Brandt’s, together with Badius’ own prose interpretations, being a much freer, original, and personal. The work should also not be confused with a mere Latin translation of Brandt’s work, as this is Badius’ interpretation and original rendering of moral values inspired by Brandt, not an actual translation. If anything, it can be called an original reworking, with original prose commentaries, of Brandt’s “Narrenschiff”, caricaturing the human vices of different social classes. Badius has divided the text into 113 verse parts, each of them accompanied by a prose explanation differing significantly from Brandt’s text. Each verse chapter is also accompanied by one of the magnificent woodcuts as well as a poem. The poems are frequently drawn from the classics such as Virgil, Horace, and Juvenal, but also from Baptista de Mantua. As the frequent reprinting of it also points to, Badius’ great moral work was hugely influential. As Renouard suggests (I:164), the quotations and moral commentary, plus its frequent reprinting in the early 16th century, could point to its use as a school text. ""The role of printers and the printing press as agents of cultural change in the period of transition between medieval and early modern times is generally considered to be of major importance. The development and spread of printing in the last decades of the fifteenth century and the first half of the sixteenth century was a significant factor in the diffusion of humanist thought and criticism. Some of the printers who presided over the publication of classical and contemporary works were active scholars and committed humanists themselves, supplying comments on the works that came off their presses. In France one of the most influential scholar-printers of the era was the Flemish-born Jodocus Badius Ascensius (1462–1535). From 1503 onwards, he ran his own printing office in Paris, where he published an impressive number of classical and humanist texts, often preceded by a preface in his own hand. Best known for his activities as a printer-publisher, Badius was also a renowned grammarian, poet, commentator and creative writer."" (Anne-Marie De Gendt: On Pleasure..., p. (67)). This lovely copy has excellent provenance: 1.Edward Hailstone (1818-1890), Yorkshire solicitor and churchwarden, renowned British book collector and antiquary" fifth son of the botanist Samuel Hailstone (1767-1851). 2.Colonel Charles Leonard Frost Robinson, also a great book collector, who immigrated to America from England in 1907 and in 1911 became the president of the Colt Firearms Company in Hartford, Connecticut. Only 9 or 10 copies of the 1515-edition are listed in libraries worldwide, and the book, in all its early editions, is very rare in the trade. We have only been able to find very few copies at auction within the last 50 years. Brunet I, 1206 Renouard II, 84:6.‎
