83-330 (Estienne,C.).
XXV. Paradoxes ou sentences debatues [sic] et elegamment deduites contre la commune opinion... Plus adjousté de nouveau que le plaider est chose très utile et necessaire à la vie des hommes. Paris, Martin Masselin f. Witwe François Regnault 1554. 12°. Mit Holzschn.-Druckerm. u. Init. 240 S., 8 Bl. Ldr. d. Zt. mit Blindpräg. (Berieb. u. best., Ldr. etw. brüchig).
Nicht bei Adams, im BM u. bei Durling. Seltene erste Ausgabe. - "The Paradoxes are Charles Estienne's free adaptations in French of 25 of the 30 Paradossi of Ortensio Landi. These were intended as examples to young lawyers who, may be called upon to plead unpopular or difficult cases. Thus Charles represents such unlikely defendants as poverty, ugliness, emprisonment, war, ignorance, and women-attempting to prove that they are superior to men. This last example shows the profound wisdom of the work. The work was one of Charles Estienne's most popular productions, and it is for that reason that early editions are today as rare as the work was popular in its day." (Schreiber 133). - Etw. gebräunt, tls. stockfl. Hs. Besitzverm. a. T. Exlibris.
