About This Item
Paris: G. de Luyne, C. Blageart, T. Girard, 1687. First Edition . Hardcover. Good. The 1st edition of this important Rationalist text, by an author who began as a poet and playwright, failed miserably at both, but went on to produce several great works of Descartian philosophy. A good copy, in probably the original leather, stamped on the spine "HIS/DES/ORA". The gilt devices on the spine are faded, the covers are scarred and somewhat bowed, and all pp. before the title page are missing. Edges are red-spotted; top edge soiled to dark brown. No foxing. 179 pp., French text.
