[ALBERUS, Erasmus] [c1500-1553].
L'Alcoran Des Cordeliers. Tant en latin qu'en François. C'Est À Dire Recueil Des plus notables bourdes & blasphèmes de ceux qui ont osé comparer Sainct François à Jésus Christ: tiré du grand livre des Conformitez.
Amsterdam: 'Aux Dépens De La Compagnie', 1734..
2 Volumes. 12mo. pp. 9 p.l., 396; 1 p.l., 419. titles in red & black. 22 engraved plates by Bernard Picart (1 folding; incl. 2 frontis.). 19th century half vellum, gilt backs (vellum slightly soiled, outer edge of frontis. in Vol. I chipped outside plate mark, few small library markings). First Edition Illustrated by Bernard Picart. The first part of the work was written by reformer Erasmus Alberus, who selected for critical assessment the most 'blasphemous' passages from the De Conformitate Vitae Beati Francisci ad Vitam Domini Jesu of Bartolomeo degli Albizzi. It was originally published anonymously as Der barfusser Monche Eulenspiegel und Alkoran in Wittenberg in 1542, with a preface by Martin Luther. The French translation, by Calvinist printer Conrad Badius, who erroneously attributed the whole work to Luther, was published in Geneva in 1556. In his second edition (1560), Bade acknowledged his error and added a continuation. The present edition is distinguished by twenty-two fine copper engravings by Bernard Picart. The frontispiece to Volume I is composed of satirical emblems and the second (folding) plate depicts the mystical tree, whose leaves contain the forty points of comparison between the lives of St. Francis and Jesus Christ. These two volumes are sometimes found with another work by Nicolas Vignier, entitled Légende dorée ou Sommaire De L'Histoire des frères Mendians de l'Ordre de St. Dominique et de S. François (Amsterdam: 1734). Brunet I 152. Cohen-de Ricci 5-6. Graesse I 64. Lewine p. 6. Rothschild II 2024 (listed with another work).
