RABELAIS, FRANÇOIS. Grands Annales ou croniques Tresveritables des Gestes merveilleux du grand Gargantua et Pantagruel son filz. Roy des Dipsodes: enchronicquez par feu Maistre Alcofribas: abstracteur de quinte essence. [ Part 2 caption title :] Pantagruel, Roy des Dipsodes; [ Part 3 divisional title :] Prognostication Pantagrueline, certaine, veritable, et infallible [ sic ]. [Lyons?: Pierre de Tours?] 1542. 3 parts in one, 8vo, 130 x 90 mm. (5 1/8 x 3 1/2 in.), late seventeenth-century red morocco, covers gilt-panelled "à la Du Seuil", spine gilt in six compartments, board edges and turn-ins gilt, g.e. endpapers renewed in the nineteenth-century, some wear to joints and extremities, c5 and c8 each with a neatly repaired tear, short fold break to added engraved portrait, occasional discoloration . Collation: A-P8; 2A-N8; 3A-C4. 236 leaves (including P8 and 3C4 blank), unfoliated. Bâtarde type, 6-line and smaller criblé initials, a few Lombard initials, text in 58 chapters, RULED IN RED THROUGHOUT, added folding engraved frontispiece portrait of Rabelais, by Moncornet. Second edition of the authoritative text of Gargantua and Pantagruel , and third edition to contain both the first and second books. This last of three 1542 Lyonese editions of Rabelais's first two books was probably printed by François Juste's successor Pierre de Tours. The text follows Juste's revised and enlarged 1542 edition, almost certainly prepared from a corrected copy by Rabelais (who was in Piedmont at the time of the actual printing), in which certain satirical passages in Gargantua that relate to the Sorbonne and "Sorbonnistes", for which the Parlement had recently condemned the work, were revised or suppressed (the work was nevertheless condemned again in 1553), and which contains a few previously unpublished passages. This edition is prefaced by a note from " Limprimeur au Lecteur ", in which the printer warns the reader of a pirated edition based on a stolen copy of "the present edition" (i.e., Juste's 1542 edition?), and printed by "un plagiaire homme encline [ sic ] a tout mal" - the accused party being Étienne Dolet, whose 1542 edition was in reality a reprint of Denis Janot's Paris 1537 edition, with the unexpurgated text (see preceding lot). A few bibliographers, including Brunet in his Recherches sur les éditions originales de Rabelais , (Paris 1852), ascribed this preface to Rabelais, an attribution that was vigorously refuted by Plan ("C'est avoir une bien piètre opinion de son style"...). Four cancel leaves containing an earlier printing of this preface and the above Grandes Annales title with the imprint "Lyons: Pierre de Tours 1542" are found in a few copies of Juste's 1542 edition of Gargantua and Pantagruel , some in a second state dated 1543 (cf. Rawles and Screech 25). THIS EDITION IS EXCEEEDINGLY RARE. Plan records only the Bibliothèque Nationale copy, which lacks the Prognostication , and the present copy (from its description in the Bulletin Mensuel de la Librairie Damescène Morgand , no. 14, March 1883, item 8597), while Rawles and Screech list three copies (BN, BM, and Fondation Bodmer). Plan, 42-43; Rawles and Screech 26; Brunet IV, 1049; Tchemerzine V, 273. Provenance : Charles Spencer Third Earl of Sunderland (1674-1722), ink shelfmark on verso of front free endpaper (sale, Part 4, London, 6-16 November 1882, lot 10471) -- Henri Bordes, morocco bookplate -- Louis Lebeuf de Montgermont -- Édouard Rahir, morocco bookplate (sale, Paris, part 5, 21 May 1937, lot 1543).
