CORNEILLE Pierre Pulchérie. Comédie héroïque.

Soleinne, 1130; Picot, 89.

First edition. 

“The idea of composing a play in which the sister of the emperor Theodosius was the heroine must have occurred to Corneille when he was writing Attila. He put into the mouth of the king of the Ostrogoths, Valamir, a eulogy of this princess, which clearly proves that the character of this woman, energetic as well as virtuous, had struck him deeply” (see Picot).

A good copy.
