About This Item
Amsterdam: Chez Jaques le Jeune [Daniel Elzevir], 1671. 176pp, [2]. Later gilt-tooled speckled calf. Lightly rubbed. Recent bookplate of Robert J. Hayhurst to FEP, title page a trifle dusty. The first Elzevir edition (printed in the year after the original edition published by Thomas Jolly at Paris), of a curious work, commonly attributed to French philosopher, philologist, and historian François de La Mothe Le Vayer (1588- 1672), that revels in obscenity and mockery. Presented in six parts, the most notable being the second that deals with Parties appellees honteuses aux hommes et aux femmes. There is an allusion also to an extraordinary form of worship among the indigenous North American Huastec people of the Pánuco. . 12mo.
