Mimes, teachings and proverbs. Paris, Pour Lucas Breyer, 1576. In-12, blue grosgrain morocco, gilt small-iron right-hand lace on covers, smooth spine with long title, thin inner roulette, gilt edges (Thompson).
Second edition, partly original: this is the first complete edition of the Mimes, comprising eight pieces (the first, published the same year by Lucas Breyer, contains only five).
It features a woodcut portrait of the poet and humanist on the verso of the title.
Delightful binding.
From the library of the Comte de Lanjuinais.
Small split without missing on the edge of folio D5. Paper slightly scorched.
