[LOT OF 2 VOLUMES] - FIZELIÈRE (Albert de la) - Dialogue de Thoinette et d'Alizon. Unpublished seventeenth-century Lorraine patois play published and annotated by Albert de la Fizelière. Paris, Simon Raçon et Cie, 1856; in-8, 32 pp. paperback. Favier 8887. Le Dialogue facétieux printed in Metz in 1671 and in 1675 le Dialogue de Thoinette et d'Alizon is a joke of the same character and family as Les Caquets de l'accouchée or l'Evangile des quenouilles in old French literature. Above all, it is a very naïve and cheerful satire of bourgeois manners, or rather of the urban habits of the time, set against the primitive and more than simple mores of country folk. It was M. Lecouteux, a former bookseller in Metz, who gave it to Albert de la Fizelière. The history of this little piece is unusual. Ex-libris of M. Ch. Schefer.
