18. [BORDELON (Laurent). Le Supplément de Tasse Rouzi Friou - Lot 18
18. [BORDELON (Laurent). Le Supplément de Tasse Rouzi Friou Titave aux femmes ou aux mari, pour donner à leurs femmes. Paris, P. Prault, 1713. In-12, xxix, [3] p., 338 p., brown basane, spine ribbed and decorated.
First edition, unique and uncommon. In a century where husbands take mistresses and wives lovers, Abbé Bordelon puts things in order: women "must love their husbands, act as if they loved them, if they do not love them indeed; and that they must not love others". The rest of the book is a plea to encourage women to be patient and submissive, because it has been that way for a long time. The husband shows himself sometimes "carried away, violent, furious; he often comes to the most atrocious invectives; sometimes, he pushes even his empathy further. You are to be pitied (...) but at the same time as you pity yourself, pity this furious, violent husband." A masterpiece of the genre. Unless it is an umpteenth facetiousness of this often caustic polygraph.
Binding slightly rubbed, tiny marginal bite on the first 3 leaves, light halo in the margin of the first 7 leaves.
