Rare revised and corrected edition of Antoine Macault’s French translation, first printed the previous year (1539) by Charlotte Guillard, one of the first female printers, who ran the \u201cAu Soleil d’or\u201d workshop.<\/p>\n
The original Latin edition was published in Basel by Froben in 1531. Compiled for the young Prince William of Cleves (1516-1592), Erasmus’ Apophthegmata consists of thousands of sayings and anecdotes taken from Greek and Latin literature and intended for the moral education of the future sovereign, who would marry Jeanne d’Albret, niece of Fran\u00e7ois I, on June 14, 1541.<\/p>\n
This edition begins with the privilege (dated October 11, 1538), followed by the dedication to King Francis I and two addresses to readers in verse by Cl\u00e9ment Marot, a close friend of Antoine Macault, including a ten-line stanza on the verso of the privilege and an eight-line stanza in the colophon. Antoine Macault translated only the first five books of the Apophthegms: the end of the text was not published until 1553, by another translator.<\/p>\n
Edition printed by Charlotte Guillard (1480?-1557), an exceptional figure of the French Renaissance.<\/p>\n
Born around 1480 to parents of unknown professions, Charlotte Guillard married Berthold Remboldt in 1502, one of the prototype printers in Paris, who was associated with Ulrich Gehring at the time. The printing workshop was located on Rue de la Sorbonne under the sign of the Soleil d’Or. When Gering ceased operations in 1508, the couple moved to Rue Saint Jacques. After Remboldt’s death, Charlotte Guillard took over the printing business, before remarrying in 1520 to Claude Chevallon, a bookseller specializing in humanist editions whose catalog lists authors such as \u00c9tasme, Pacien de Barcelone, and Hilaire de Poitiers. Widowed again in 1537, she continued to run the Soleil d’Or workshop until her death in 1557. <\/p>\n
“Charlotte Guillard est une figure exceptionnelle de la Renaissance fran\u00e7aise. Originaire du Maine, elle m\u00e8ne \u00e0 Paris une carri\u00e8re brillante dans la typographie. Veuve tour \u00e0 tour des imprimeurs Berthold Rembolt et Claude Chevallon, elle administre en ma\u00eetresse femme l\u2019atelier du Soleil d\u2019Or pendant pr\u00e8s de vingt ans, de 1537 \u00e0 1557. Sous sa direction, l\u2019entreprise accapare le march\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00e9dition juridique et des P\u00e8res de l\u2019\u00c9glise, publiant des \u00e9ditions savantes pr\u00e9par\u00e9es par quelques-uns des plus illustres humanistes parisiens (Antoine Macault, Jacques Toussain, Jean Du Tillet, Guillaume Postel\u2026). Associant dans un m\u00eame projet intellectuel les th\u00e9ologiens les plus conservateurs et les lettr\u00e9s les plus \u00e9pris de nouveaut\u00e9, sa production t\u00e9moigne de la vivacit\u00e9 des d\u00e9bats qui agitent les milieux intellectuels au si\u00e8cle des R\u00e9formes” (cesr-cnrs).<\/p>\n
