First edition.
Badinage in free verse and twenty-seven little songs.
An unusual work whose author will remain in the shadows, under the scatological aspect it seems to have been written as a snub to Marmontel's "Poetics". Marmontel, as our petomane recalls, declared that it is not necessary for a thing to be beautiful in nature for it to be beautiful in poetry and that coarseness or finesse lies in the treatment of the subject rather than in the subject itself. Marmontel, by instituting the "moral tale" and rejecting the comic, had given rise to a wave of "immoral tales" in which this God of the winds participates.

"The discourse on art was born in France during the reign of Louis XIV thanks to two antagonistic figures: Félibien (1619-1709) and Roger de Piles (1635-1709). The latter became the major theoretician of color in the quarrel which opposed Rubenists and Poussinists during the last three decades of the 17th century." (trad. from Bernard Teyssèdre, "Roger de Piles and The debate on color, 1957)

De Piles supports Rubens by arguing that color is the major subject of painting and must come before drawing.
