BARCLAY, John (1582-1621). Argenis. Paris: for Nicolas Buon, 1622.

Extremely scarce binding from the Esmerian collection. Second edition. Esmerian assumed that the ? was mistakenly used as a ?, therefore possibly meaning 'fidelta' for fidelity, which is also the meaning commonly attributed to the S fermé (or S barré or fermesse), thus highlighting this sentiment. Dulong also suggests that the initial M could refer to the imperative form of the verb 'aimer'. Hobson points out that the fermesse has been used as a symbol since the beginning of the Middle Ages. There is only one other recorded occurrence of a similar binding (see lot 98). Hobson Fanfare list 11, no 286 and diagram on p.100; Esmerian II, 76 and A VII; Dulong, École des Chartes vol 140-1, pp.61-83; STC 232.

Octavo (181 x 110mm). Title and a portrait engraved by Gaultier, portrait of Barclay engraved by Mellan, woodcut initials, head- and tail-pieces. Contemporary red morocco, decorated in gilt to a saltire pattern with double D, M, ? and F, and 2 different types of 's fermés', edges gilt. Provenance: J. Regnard (early title inscription) – De Caumartin de Maizy (inscriptions at beginning and end, possibly Monseigneur Le Fevre de Caumartin, Olivier pl 652) – M de la Cour Basleroy (bookplate) – Lucien-Graux (booklabel) – Raphaël Esmerian (sale Paris, 8 Dec 1972, lot 76; booklabel).
