"Musique du roy"--cover. The word "roy" has been scraped off.

Note from Lisa Cox, dealer: "The very first issue, not in Hopkinson and preceding both his 40A and his 40A(a). Like Hopkinson's variant 40A(a), our copy has the dedication to the King on the verso of the title: but unlike either of Hopkinson 'first issues', our[s] has the title-page in wholly uncorrected state, with the 's' of 'dediés' not erased ... its presence here is incontravertible proof of the priority of this copy."

RISM A/I, G 2747
