Hardcover. Condición: Near fine. First. THE FIRST AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN -- THE FIRST EDITION OF QUEEN MARGOT'S MEMOIRS BOUND BY CAPÉ -- A FAVORITE OF THE EMPRESS EUGÉNIE. Paris: Charles Chappellain, 1628. Octavo (6 5/8" x 4 1/8", 169mm x 105mm). [Full collation available; with 2 of 3 final blanks.] Bound in XIXc French calf by Charles Capé (signed at the lower inside dentelle of the front board). On the boards, the gilt armorial supralibros of Marguerite within an elaborate scrollwork border, the whole within a double gilt fillet border. On the spine, five rained bands. Title gilt to red morocco in the second panel, imprint gilt to green morocco in the third. Double gilt fillet to the edges of the boards. Gilt inside dentelle. Marbled end-papers. All edges of the text-block gilt. Yellow, red and black silk marking-ribbon. A little sunning to the spine, with a little rubbing to the extremities; altogether a near-fine example. Very mild but even tanning throughout. Gilt leather armorial bookplate of Léon Rattier to the verso of the first free end-paper (with offsetting to the following binder's blank). Marguerite de Valois (1553-1615) was the third daughter of Henry II and Catherine de' Medici. Upon her marriage to the King of Navarre (as Henry III of Navarre), she became irredeemably embroiled in the politics of France during the Wars of Religion. Henry III's marriage to Marguerite helped to popularize his otherwise legitimate claim to the French throne (as Henry IV) as the senior agnatic descendent of Louis IX -- ironically, beatified as Saint Louis by the Catholic Church. Although Henry IV was lionized and mythologized Henry-le-Grand or Bon Roy Henry, his marriage to Marguerite was far from galant. Their wedding prompted the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of thousands of Huguenots who had come to Paris to celebrate what was meant to heal decades of enmity. By 1576 husband and wife were estranged, Henry having returned to Navarre and Marguerite more or less confined to the Louvre until Francis allowed her release and assistance, along with their mother Catherine, in easing the tensions between Catholics and Protestants in France. She eventually settled with her husband and formed a court at Nérac -- the setting for Love's Labours Lost, in which "Navarre" is transparently Henry -- and lived relatively amiably with him there, despite his affair with her lady-in-waiting La Belle Fosseuse that led to the birth of a still-born daughter in 1581; Marguerite herself was the midwife. Marguerite's Memoires -- of which the present item is the first edition, distinguished by its privilege (copyright) and 382 (rather than 383) pages -- is the first autobiography of a woman. It is a valuable and rare first-hand account of court life in France and in Navarre, as well as Marguerite's own political endeavors. They end just after the stillbirth of her husband's illegitimate daughter in 1581, eight years before her husband's accession to the French throne as Henry IV. Marguerite was later the object of scandalizing mythography as the insatiable incestuous nymphomaniac temptress Reine Margot, most famously in Dumas père's novel of that name. The present example was bound by Charles Capé (1806-1867), working first as a binder at the library of the Louvre (the predecessor of the Bibliothèque nationale de France) and eventually to Empress Eugénie (wife of Napoléon III) and to others, including Baudelaire and the duc d'Aumale. Perhaps the binding was commissioned by Victor-Léon Rattier (1824-1902), grandson of the cloth-merchant to Napoleon I, sub-prefect of Doullens in the Somme. From 1858 he lived at the Château de Jeand'heures, a former abbey. There he assembled an enormous library that was sold (along with the collection of his grand-nephew Charles-Achille Fould) at three auctions between 1913 and 1922, altogether fetching more than 1,000,000 francs. The present volume was in the second sale, 17 June 1920, lot 104. Brunet III.1419.
