JOINVILLE: History of Saint-Louis...Imprimerie Royale, 1761. In-folio in old calf (worn binding). BEAUTIFUL PUBLISHING of the Imprimerie Royale published by Mellot, Sallier et Caperonnier after a manuscript recently acquired by the King, and probably coming from the library taken in Brussels by Maurice de Saxe. It gives the ORIGINAL TEXT of Joinville with a minimum of alterations. The language has retained all its robust naivety. This edition, printed on laid paper, is illustrated with a jewel on the title, engraved by Lemire, 3 vignettes by Eisen and Gravelot, 3 culs-de-lampe by Gravelot, engraved by Lemire and Sornique, 3 engraved letters and 2 folding cards by d'Anville. Copy quite fresh inside. Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
