A very good copy. Chez les Elzevirs, 1648. Notable for their historical accuracy, they also stand tall for Comines's unique insights into the motives of the major characters, something successive political historians sought to copy. Woodcut Renaissance headpieces, a tailpiece, and foliated initials adorn the French text printed in a fine small type with shouldernotes. Covers gilt-ruled with treble fillets.
All edges gilt.
Binding as above. Pages extremely clean, but closely trimmed with a few headers just shaved. In lovely condition. Bridgewater Library French Theater Corneille, Pierre. Le theatre de P. Corneille.
