DORAT, Jean (1508-1588). Sibyllarum duocedim oracular . Translated into French by Claude Binet. Paris: Jean Rabel 1586.
DORAT, Jean (1508-1588). Sibyllarum duocedim oracular . Translated into French by Claude Binet. Paris: Jean Rabel 1586. 2 o (328 x 204 mm). Engraved portrait of the dedicatee Louise de Lorraine, 12 engraved plates of the sibyls, and engraving of the Virgin and Child at end by Jean Rabel Modern crimson morocco gilt, with Prince Essling's arms on covers, edges gilt, by Belz-Niedrée (few minor scratches). Provenance : Victor Masséna, Prince d'Essling (1836-1910; supralibros and cypher on spine); acquired from Georges Heilbrun, 1976. FIRST EDITION of Dorat's Latin verse and illustrated with 14 fine engravings by Jean Rabel The French humanist, Jean Dorat (also spelled Daurat), was one of the poets of the Pléiade, and their mentor for many years. He was director of the Collège de Coqueret, where was Ronsard's teacher. He made contributions to this new edition of the sibylline oracles with this collection of Latin poems on their sayings--still reflecting the twelve of what had become the French tradition. Claude Binet rendered the poems into French verse, and both sets of verse were illustrated with engravings by Dorat's friend, the printer/engraver Jean Rabel (circa 1548-1603). The engravings depict the ethereal sibyls seated on clouds with rays emanating from their heads, and are based largely on the standard French type, but he also likely used other sources, including Barbieri. Rabel's sibyls appear in a different order than in the verses, and do they accord with Dorat's descriptions. Brunet IV:1036 (listed under Jean Rabel .
