100. Satyre ménippée de la vertu du Catholicon d'Espagne et de la tenüe des Estats de Paris à laquelle est adjouste un discours sur l'interprétation du mot HIGUIERO D'INFERNO, & qui en est l'autheur. Plus le regret sur la mort de l'Asne ligueur d'une Damoiselle, qui mourut durant le siège de Paris. S.l.n.n., 1594. In-8, [8] f., 274 p. Soft contemporary vellum, spine muted. Satyre Ménippée, the most famous libel of the end of the century; this severe attack against the Estates General that the League convened in 1593 in order to provide for the election of a Catholic king of France, was considered, more or less rightly, as one of the major events that served the accession of Henri de Navarre to the throne, says Martial Martin in the entry "Satire ménippée" in the Dictionnaire des Lettres françaises, XVIe siècle. Illegible wet stamp on first blank page, type stamp of religious institution. Handwritten bookplate in brown ink on title page: de Fontaine, oratorii tolosani. Light wetness in the lower part of the book, without alteration of the paper, other than slight staining. Very fine worm gallery in the upper margin of the last 3 leaves, affecting a single character in all. (Brunet, V, 143)
