Brunet, IV, 1078.

Magnificent edition, printed in an edition of only 200 copies with great care by Didot, as indicated on the last volume: ‘Printed in an edition of 200 copies, with new typefaces from the foundry of Didot l’Aîné, on wove paper, from the manufacture of Mr. Johannot père et fils, d’Annonai, the first manufacturers in France of this kind of paper’.

A sublime copy of this very fine edition.
