Attractively bound in contemporary quarter morocco and decorated boards. Spine in five compartments with fleurons and raised bands. Tiny traces of wear to binding, else FINE AND BRIGHT. Launay 152; Contades, p. 39; Oberlé 594 (this copy: "Précieux exemplaire imprimé sur peau de vélin. Il est probablement unique. C'est le seul volume publié par notre éditeur qui ait été tiré sur peau de vélin.") Copies of this book on paper are very rare; this unique copy on vellum is A PIECE OF PUBLISHING HISTORY. Provenance: Jean-Jacques Launay, the comprehensive bibliographer of Poulet-Malassis, acquired this book after compiling his bibliography, and thus while he cites the book in his bibliography, he does not describe it (obviously because he was unable to locate any copy at all.) From him it passed to Gerard Oberlé.
