AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful complete set in four volumes of the Works of Boileau-Despréaux, with the commentary of M. de Saint-Surin, published in Paris by J. J. Blaise in 1821.
An old, sought-after edition valued for the richness of its critical apparatus, its literary commentaries, and its iconography.
The set includes :
* Volume I: Satires.
* Volume II: Epistles, The Art of Poetry, and other compositions.
* Volume III: Prose works.
* Volume IV: Correspondence.
Edition announced to be illustrated with 12 plates after new drawings, including notably engraved portraits of Boileau, Louis XIV, and Racine. Presence of photographic engravings.
Very handsome uniform half-leather bindings with marbled boards, smooth backs adorned with gilt lines and friezes, titles and volume numbers gilt.
Condition: very good overall appearance of the bindings, gilt well preserved, light signs of wear. Interiors well preserved, with occasional foxing consistent with age.
An elegant and decorative set, representative of French bibliophilia in the early 19th century.
