Descripción

Small 12mo, about 5 1/2" in height by 4" in width (ca. 11 X 13.5 cm). Nice half-leather jansenist binding with patterned paper boards, five raised cords, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, green ribbon placemarker. Small bookplate of the bibliophile E. [Edgar] Mareuse on front pastedown. Mareuse's large library was auctioned in 1929. Large collector's label in English on front free endpaper noting 1929 as year of acquisition, very minor scuffing to spine, pages (but not the plates) somewhat foxed, near fine. A collection of madrigals by various poets based on the virtues of various flowers, taken from a manuscript of 1641, which was presented to the Julie of the title by the Duc de Montausier. With beautifully done uncolored engravings (uncredited) illustrating each flower mentioned. An article by a M. de Gagnières on the history of this manuscript, written when it surfaced again at a book auction in 1784, is included as a preface. This edition, which does not have a properly dated title page, but rather one bearing the original 1641 date of the manuscript, probably dates from the 1820s. The firm of Didot Jeune printed Redouté's great flower book Les Liliacées. N° de ref. del artículo 637
