1515? (Anonymous). LES JOURS HEUREUX ET PERILLEUX DE L'ANNEE - Lot 69
1515? (Anonymous). LES JOURS HEUREUX ET PERILLEUX DE L'ANNEE REVELE PAR L'ANGE AU BON SAINCT JOB. Without place, name or date (Lyon, Arnoullet, Chaussard, 1515?). In-12 gothic, 4 leaves, 21 lines per page, burgundy morocco (Laurenchet). Amusing popular prophecies telling the reader about the "perilous days esquels ne fauct riens bon commencer" for each month. For example, Pierre Bonnart, a native of Burgundy, went to see his friend Guyot on Saint Agatha's Day and saw a braid of onions in his house, wanted to eat some, climbed a ladder, fell backwards and broke his neck! This extremely rare copy is illustrated with 2 folk woodcuts, one on the title showing the Angel and Job, and another on the verso of the last leaf depicting a king seated on his throne. Baudrier reports 2 copies, but with different numbers of lines or woodcuts (USTC, 31339 ?, 1 ex.).
