About this deal

While not specifically typography related, Marier wisely gives this resource a typography tag. Hand lettering loyalists and font fanatics will find much to admire.

The degree to which Rabelais can be said to be the sole author of the fifth book, parts of which were first published nine years after his death, remains an open question.

The work was first translated into English by Thomas Urquhart (the first three books) and Peter Anthony Motteux (the fourth and fifth) in the late seventeenth-century.

Such was the public’s hunger for the Rabelaisian that multiple different “fifth books” were published. The satisfaction of that same insatiable demand seems also to have motivated the publication of Les Songes Drolatiques de Pantagruel ou sont contenues plusieurs figures de l’invention de maitre François Rabelais. This slim volume, writes the Public Domain Review’s Adam Green, “is made up entirely of images — 120 woodcuts depicting a series of fantastically bizarre and grotesque figures, reminiscent of some of the more inventive and twisted creations of Brueghel or Bosch.” The British Library Puts Over 1,000,000 Images in the Public Domain: A Deeper Dive Into the Collection All the images are from The Drolatic Dreams of Pantagruel (1565), published by Richard Breton in Paris.The book comprises 120 woodcuts which Breton claimed were the works of Francois Rabelais, although this is almost certainly not the case.A more likely creator for “the most curious pictures that can be found in the whole world” is the engraver Francois Desprez.Whatever their origin, the images remain startling to this day.

The work was stigmatised as obscene by the censors of the Collège de la Sorbonne, [6] and, within a social climate of increasing religious oppression in a lead up to the French Wars of Religion, it was treated with suspicion, and contemporaries avoided mentioning it.

Through this analysis, Bakhtin pinpoints two important subtexts in Rabelais' work: the first is carnivalesque which Bakhtin describes as a social institution, and the second is grotesque realism, which is defined as a literary mode. Thus, in Rabelais and His World, Bakhtin studies the interaction between the social and the literary, as well as the meaning of the body.

It was with a similar intention and rhetorical use that Francisco de Quevedo gave the title Sueños to his poems written between 1606 and 1623, although among his work it is perhaps La hora de todos y la Fortuna con seso which would fit the best the woodcuts of Desprez. It is enough to read besides woodcut number 32 the tenth fragment of La hora de todos, or the following sonnet criticizing a woman wearing a fashionable crinoline. a b c d e f g Parkin, John (2004).
