MALHERBE François de Poésies rangées par ordre chronologique; avec un discours sur les obligations que la langue & la poésie françoise ont à Malherbe, & quelques remarques historiques & critiques.

Cohen-de Ricci, 672.

One of the rare large paper copies issued on Hollande paper.

This beautifully executed volume is composed of 119 poems, divided into four parts and arranged chronologically.

The book is completed by a detailed index. The fine portrait frontispiece is engraved by Fesssard after Dumoustier, the vingette on the title page is by Duflos.

Very good and attractive copy albeit some occasional toning.
