Rabelais (c.1483-1553) was known to his contemporaries as an eminent physician and humanist.

His creative exuberance, colorful and wide-ranging vocabulary, and literary variety have gained him a lasting place in the history of the French Renaissance. 12mo, five volumes: [iii-cxxxiv], 135-384 pp. + vi, vi, 7-256 pp. + xx, 367, [3] pp. + viii, lxxxiv, 85-360 pp. + lviii, 59-304 pp. with 17 copper plates (15 called for), most folding.
