Representé a l'Entré triomphante de la Royne En la Cité d'Avignon Le 19. Novembre. L'An M.DC . Avignon: Jacques Bramereau, [ca 1600]. Large 4 o (273 x 195 mm). Engraved title-page, 2 engraved portraits, and 12 engraved plates by MATTHIAS GREUTER. (Some occasional browning and dampstaining.) 18th-century calf (rebacked preserving original spine, front joint cracked). In 1600, the Archbishop of Ancona and the College of the Jesuits of Avignon undertook to present a spectacular celebration commemorating the entry into Avignon of the newly married HENRY IV (1553-1610), King of France, and his second wife MARIE DE' MEDICI (1575-1642). In keeping with the popular myths of imperial destiny perpetuated at the turn of the century by numerous theologians and astrologers, Henry IV was portrayed at the festivities in Avignon as the heroic Gallic Hercules, protector of the Faith and leader of a new crusade to eradicate the infidels. The numerous triumphal arches erected for the occasion and illustrated by the Alsatian artist Matthias Greuter are each decorated with representations of the Labors of Hercules symbolizing the deeds and virtues of Henry IV, including one in which the columns of Hercules hold up the papal and French crowns, supported by a sceptre and a sword respectively, with the motto "duo protegit unus" to show Henry as both ruler of his kingdom and willing defender of the Church. In 1601, the City Council at Avignon voted 40 scudis to the printer Jacques Bramereau in order to enable him to travel to Paris and present copies of this book to the King, Queen, and Princes of France. Berlin 2988; Ruggieri 99; Vinet 480; Watanabe 1686.
