Scarce, illustrated Spanish edition, the first by Plantin, of La Marche's allegorical work Le chevalier délibéré. A beautiful 16th-century edition of this popular allegory with the suite of twenty-one splendid etchings, attributed to Pieter van der Borcht. Translated into Spanish by Hernando de Acuna (c.1520-1580) the much-esteemed poet and translator of the Spanish Golden Age. Le chevalier délibéré is the most important poetic work of Olivier de La Marche (1422-1502), the Burgundian courtier, poet and chronicler, "a didactic poem describing a knight's search for salvation through the vehicle of a quest. At first, he is impulsive, leaving his house par une soudaine achoison, on the spur of the moment. He is started along the way by Thought, who brings him to a realization of his soul's unprepared state and who acquaints him with the encounters he must face with the henchmen of Atropos, Goddess of Death: Accident and Debility. The knight as Author is befriended by the hermit Understanding and eventually arrives at the house of Study where Fresh Memory begins his real instruction." (Caroll, 1999.)
