Favyn André. The theater of honour and knight-hood or a compendious chronicle and historie of the whole Christian world containing the original of all monarches kingdomes and estates with their emperours kings princes and governours the first institution of armes emblazons kings heralds and pursuivants of armes. London: William Jaggard 1623. First edition in English 2 parts in 1 volume folio title-page in red and black with 5 (of 12) engraved plates of arms duplicated in the text of the book numerous woodcut illustrations of orders arms etc. in the text of which the illustration of the Order of the Bear on p. 275 of the second volume and eight coats of arms at the end have been hand coloured modern half calf marbled boards endpapers renewed edges of title-page a little worn wormhole at lower inner margin through a few signatures. Note: Moule 111; STC 10717. First published in Paris in 1620 the work "comprises the most valuable treatise we have in English upon the Foreign orders of knighthood; there are other discussions upon the Ceremonies Combats Precedence &c. equally worth the attention of the antiquary and historian." (Moule). The work has an additional significance in that its execution took place alongside the production of the Shakespeare first folio and therefore plays an important part in studying its production and printing. The Theater was entered in the Stationers' Register on 23 October 1622 but printing probably began in February-March 1622 at the same time as work began on the Shakespeare Folio and that it was finished at the sane time as F1. The Theater shares not only the same format with the First Folio but certain ornaments and rules in particular the "Satyr" ornament. The different states of the types and ornaments in both F1 and the Theater are an important guide to the printing of the First Folio. (see Hinmann Printing and proof-reading of the First Folio Shakespeare p. 36 etc.) For example Peter Blaney (The First Folio) records an F1 page which has picked up a distinct image from the press's tympan of an engraving used in the Theater.

Note: Carteret I. p. 239; Vicaire Manuel de l'amateur de livres du XIXe sieclè III 389. One of the most famous French writers of the 19th century Dumas is best known for his historical novels such as the The three musketeers The Count of Monte Cristo and The black tulip. Dumas is credited with revitalising the historical novel in France and along with Balzac and Sue pioneering the roman feuilleton or serial novel. In 1850 appeared The Black Tulip a romantic adventure set in the 17th century Holland. In the middle of the political struggle for freedom is Cornelius van Baerle a young man who has devoted himself to tulip-growing. Cornelius is falsely imprisoned for high treason. With the help of Rosa the daughter of a jailer he manages to grow a black tulip. Cornelius wins his freedom and hundred thousand guilders in glittering gold pieces as reward for the tulip. "This tulip" continued the Prince "will therefore bear the name of its producer and figure in the catalogue under the title Tulipa nigra Rosa Barlaensis because of the name Van Baerle which will henceforth be the name of this damsel.".
