PLACE AND DATE OF PRINTING: Paris (Paris), Plassan (from the King's Cabinet printing office), 1787.
EDITION: Original edition (first edition) of this specific prose translation with the original Italian text printed in Baskerville type.
FORMAT: In-18° (about 13 cm).
Work complete in 10 Volumes (Volumes I-X). Approximately 4,800 pages in total (averaging 450-560 pages per volume).

BOUNDING: Contemporary uniform half-leather binding, boards in marbled paper, backs with four raised bands richly decorated with friezes and titles in gold. Colored edges. Obvious and typical signs of age (surface abrasions to the headcaps and boards, corners slightly bumped), but solid and compact structure.

Louis-Simon Auger’s Library (1772–1829): Purchased directly at the public sale of La Harpe’s estate in 1803 by the young Auger (future Perpetual Secretary of the Académie française). Each volume bears on the front pastedown the original typographic ex-libris
