This edition of the eight days of the Caquets is part of the Petite Bibliothèque Artistique, donated by Jouaust from 1882. It is published with notes (“it seemed useful to us to give in notes the explanation of certain words and locutions which might not be familiar to all our readers”) and it begins with “the brilliant preface” in which one will find “knowledge and wit”.
A very fine copy despite a small tear to the spine.
