VIVES Juan Luis The instition of the Christian woman as much in her childhood as in marriage and emptiness, with the office of the husband. Translated from Latin. Antwerp, Christophe Plantin, 1579 In8 ivory vellum with covers (Binding of the XVIIth century) First edition, rather rare, of this translation, dealing with the duties of the woman, from her childhood to her old age. Among the numerous chapters, let us note : De la virginité, du bal de la danse, des amours, de cercer mari, comment la femme se doit se tenir en privé avec son mari, de jalousie, du deuil des veuves... On a guard is a curious handwritten poem: " A l'Adbocat P. Rigault "; a few flaws, including wetness at the corner of a few leaves, the cords of the binding missing, stamp on the title.
