BERTAUD, Jean. Encomium trium Mariarum cum earunde cultus defensione adversus Lutheranos , [Paris:] Josse Badé for himself and Galliot du Pré, [22 November 1529 - 15 December 1529]. 3 parts in one volume, 4° (235 x 171mm), title with type ornaments and Badé's 'Prelum as cesianum' woodcut device [Renouard no. 3], first and third part printed in Roman letter in black ink, the second in Gothic letter with typeset music in red and black, 31 woodcut illustrations, 18 full-page, some repeats, the second part with woodcut figurative and decorative borders, woodcut white-on-black initials, some criblé or historiated (some light browning or spotting, occasional flaws or unobtrusive worming on text or image, a few leaves in pt. II shaved, lacking 2 unsigned leaves of verses between the second and third parts and the final 4 leaves [L3-6] of pt. III), late 19th-/early 20th-century panelled crimson crushed morocco gilt by G. Berti of Florence, spine gilt in compartments, lettered in the second, wide gilt turn-ins, gilt edges. Provenance : marginal annotations in an early ?French hand; Baron Horace de Landau, monogram bookplate with pressmark 4269, bequeathed to his niece; Madame Hugo Finaly (d. 1938, and by descent to her son, sold following his death in 1945 at); Landau sale, Sotheby's, pt. III, 31 October 1949, lot 465 (described as lacking 5 (sic) leaves, to Breslauer). FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. "Un des livres le plus remarquables du début du XVIe siècle" (Brun, quoted by Mortimer), which, Renouard notes, was "le seul volume vraiment illustré" printed by Badé (I, p. 70). The woodcuts employed in the first and third part were probably cut at the instigation of Bertaud, while those in the second part come from a variety of sources and include those used to illustrate the Pigouchet-Vostre Horae (cf. Mortimer 298). Within the first issue Renouard distinguishes 2 variants, determined by the wording on the final leaf of the third part, absent in the present copy. Brunet I, 813-814; Lacombe 384; Mortimer French 54 (lacking the 2 unsigned leaves of verses between pt. II and III); Renouard Badius Ascensius II, pp. 187-194.
