A bookseller's note on the verso of the front free endpaper of the text volume indicates that the owner was Armand-Thomas Hue de Miromesnil, keeper of the seals from 1774-1787, after having held several other official positions. On his death, at his request, the contents of his library were sold and the profits distributed amongst the poor. The bookseller's note also states that the work was owned by the Vicomtesse de Fontenay and it also contains the bookplate of Richard Penard y Fernandez on the verso of the first flyleaf. The text volume also includes a bound-in letter by the Duchesse de Melfort, dated July 1773.

Spine with gilt floral decorations in compartments and gilt title. The textblock edges are gilt and there are blue endpapers in both volumes.
