FIRST COLLECTIVE EDITION, IN PART ORIGINAL, of the OEuvres poétiques by the poet and member of the Pléïade, Pontus de Tyard (1521-1605). It is dedicated "to a learned and virtuous Damoiselle", said to be the Countess de Retz. A fine and rare copy of these various poetic collections by Pontus de Tyard, one of the finest poets of the Pléiade. The Latin poem De coelestibus asterismi (a four-leaf pamphlet sometimes missing), appears here for the first time. It is rare to find these different volumes together. Copy enriched with a bill, part of which is written and signed by Pontus de Tyard: "Envoies moy quinze ou vingt ecus par Lesperaux et je les les allouerai vous les sur cette lettre avec sa quittance et aussi le drap que vous lui ferez donner pour un accoustrement..... Your very affectionate amy, Pontus de Tyard, Anc. E. de Chalon". (After relinquishing his position as bishop in 1589, Pontus de Tyard retired to his lands at Bragny-sur-Saône, where he died. He owned the lands and château of Bissy-sur-Fley). Handwritten mention at the bottom of the title of the Chaumont Jesuit College. "Collegii Calvomontani catalogo inscriptus, Dono R.P. Francesci Matthieu, 1684". The bookbinder is probably Raphael Richard, active from 1935 to 1963, his father's successor in Paris. Spotting on covers.
