CALLIERES, François de - Histoire poétique de la guerre nouv - Lot 204
CALLIERES, François de - Histoire poétique de la guerre nouvellement déclarée entre les Anciens et les Modernes. Amsterdam, Sur la Copie imprimée à Paris, (1688). Pet. in-12, (12) ff, 263 pp, folding plates representing the different literary currents in order of battle, 18th c. fawn calf, gilt chain on boards, smooth spine decorated. Like Furetière's Nouvelle allégorique and Guéret's Parnasse réformé, Histoire poétique is one of those literary satires in dramatic form for which Lucien provided models. The author recounts how, at the Academy assembly in the Louvre, Perrault has just read Le Siècle de Louis le Grand, which divides the Academy into two opposing camps. Immediately, Renommée sows alarm even on Parnasse, and the most illustrious of ancients and moderns who inhabit the sacred mountain divide like the Académie. (See Hippolyte RIGAULT, Hist. de la querelle des anciens et des modernes, pp. 213-215).
