Tchemerzine-Scheler, III, 71b ; see Adams, D-990 (only for the edition 1561).<\/i><\/p>\n
Du Bellay’s last collection of poems, of which the author said: \u201cI am willing to give our language a few more of my works, which will be (I think) the last fruits of our garden, not at all as tasty as the first, but (perhaps) better preserved.\u201d<\/p>\n
A rare edition, published posthumously by Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Morel, in which all the poems from the 1552 edition are reproduced, with the exception of Adieu aux Muses<\/i>, but in a different order, and with the addition of three new poems: La nouvelle maniere de faire son profit des lettres, Le poete courtisan<\/i> and A Phoebus<\/i>. This edition probably represents the author’s last wishes. Published only a few months after his death, it could not fail to be influenced by the instructions of the poet himself who, on his return from Rome, was planning a new edition of his entire work.<\/p>\n
Extremely rare in private hands, it is missing from the Bonna and Barbier collections, and no copy has been listed in public sales for over a century.<\/p>\n
