In-12, black morocco, boards framed with a gilt fillet and decorated with a diamond-rectangle pattern drawn by scrolls of fawn morocco, gilt numeral in the center, ornate spine, fawn morocco lining, chocolate brown moire endpapers (Modern binding).
Tragicomedy in prose, set against a backdrop of love and poisons, published in four successive editions between 1576 and 1596.
This edition contains numerous apologetic pieces, including a quatrain by Ronsard.
Nothing is known about Louis Le Jars, except that he was a relative of Marie Le Jars de Gournay, Montaigne's daughter-in-law.
A few cuffs slightly damaged by the bookbinder's knife, otherwise a pleasant copy bound in the collector's cypher.
