Dissertation critique sur deux ouvrages intitulés : Chronique de Turpin.
-
First edition. The author corrects the common misconception that two distinct editions issued under the title Chronicle of Archbishop Turpin represent translations of the same work: the first, a Gothic quarto of 1527; the second, an octavo of 1583 printed in roman type. Full leather binding with black label and gilt titles to the spine. The binding, with blind-stamped roll to the outer edges, has loss of the leather to the bottom 3cm of the spine and a corresponding area of the rear panel. Private library shelf label to the front board*. Despite the binding flaws, the inside is in very good condition. Bright and clean throughout with just a touch of foxing to the page. Half title and title page with vignette. Attractive header vignette to the introduction. 73 [i] pages. 18cm x 10.5cm. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 458159713. Only one library copy recorded (BnF). Claude Jean-Baptiste Huet de Froberville (17521838). He was a chevalier, and seigneur du Vivier. He served as a deputy for the Loiret in the French Legislative Assembly during the Revolution. In addition to this work, he wrote on agricultural improvements in the Sologne region. Archbishop Turpin, properly Tilpin (Latin Tilpinus), served as Archbishop of Reims from c. 748/753 until his death in 794 or 800. A monk of St. Denis, he restored his cathedral's properties, founded its scriptorium and library, and established the abbey of Saint-Rémi housing St. Remigius's relics. Turpin features prominently in medieval French epics like the "Chanson de Roland" as Charlemagne's warrior-archbishop, a militant cleric who fights Saracens alongside Roland at Roncesvalles and absolves the dying. * label for the bibliothèque du fonds Bergevin to the top of the front cover.
