AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original edition, complete in four volumes in-12mo. This first edition is also noted as the only one containing the Life of Monsieur le Premier Président de Lamoignon.
Collation:
Volume I: XXXVI + 397 pages
Volume II: 514 pages
Volume III: 500 pages
Volume IV: 168 + 224 pages
Thus 1,839 pages numbered in Arabic numerals, to which are added the XXXVI preliminary pages of the first volume.
Old calf bindings, smooth spines richly adorned with tools and gold fillets, red title pieces and dark tomaison pieces bearing numbers 1 to 4. Speckled edges.
Condition: the interiors are the true strength of this set: they are remarkably fresh for works from 1782, with well-preserved paper, clear printing, and very few visible foxing.
The bindings, by contrast, show significant wear and leather loss on the boards, perfectly visible in the photographs. Friction, scuffing, and wear also at the corners, edges, and headcaps. Despite these exterior faults, the four volumes remain solid and well-constructed. The spines retain a handsome presentation and much of their gilded decoration.
Complete and homogeneous set of this eighteenth-century original edition, devoted to Charlemagne and to the history of the early French dynasties.
The photographs are an integral part of the description.
