AUDIGUIER, Vital d' - Histoire des Amours de Lysandre & de Caliste. Amsterdam, Henry and Theodore Boom, 1679. Pet. in-12, 408. pp. (title-front. compr.), 16 figs, slightly post-published havana calf, ornate ribbed spine. WILLEMS 1309. LEVER 216. DRUJON I, 474. First published in Paris in 1616. Vital d'Audiguier (1529 ?- 1624), seigneur de la Menor in the Rouergue region, belonged to the small court of Marguerite de Valois, where most of the leading literary figures gathered. He combined an adventurous life with his imaginative gifts: ''ma plume sent la qualité // D'un homme qui porte au côté // Le taillant dont elle est coupée.'' The story takes place during the reign of Henri IV. Audiguier bears witness to the Christian fervor that lifted souls. Several of the novel's characters enter religion: Lidian becomes a hermit on Mont-Serrat, Clairange becomes a Capuchin. Lysandre himself, before happily uniting with Caliste, tried out the anchorite life on Mont Valérien.
