(1570). LA PLAISANTE ET AMOUREUSE HISTOIRE DU CHEVALIER DORE ET DE LA PUCELLE SURNOMMEE CUEUR D'ACIER. Lyon, François Durelle for Benoît Rigaud, 1570. In-16 of 176 unnumbered leaves, blackcurrant jansenist morocco, inner gilt lace framing a morocco lining of the same shade, double guard, gilt edges (Joly, r.d.). An extremely rare volume. It is a novel drawn from Perceforest (represented under the name of Péléon) in order to "refresh" the subject. Third edition illustrated with 40 CHARMING VIGNETTES finely wood-engraved very close (same dimensions: 50 x 32) to those of the Hécatongraphie and thus more Parisian than Lyonnais. A very fine copy in lined morocco by Robert Joly, employed by Gruel and then following in his father's footsteps in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century (Baudrier III, 268, wrong coll.) (USTC 31227, 1 ex. of 1577) (Brunet IV, 686).
