Charles Coypeau d'Assoucy (1605-1677), French poet, memoirist, composer and theorbo player. Emulator of Paul Scarron in the genre of burlesque poetry, he was the friend of Chapelle, Cyrano de Bergerac and Molière. A travelling musician, he travelled for fifteen years in France and Italy. Very rare first edition of this burlesque work in which the author pleasantly recounts his bizarre adventures, his misadventures and the imprisonments he had to endure during his bohemian life; he traveled through France in the company of a small troupe of artists who sang the tunes he composed.
