Une partie de l’\u00e9dition porte l’adresse d’Anthoine Michiels \u00e0 Amsterdam” (Tchemerzine).<\/p>\n
This text is based on the 1635 edition, and is sometimes considered to have been printed by the Elzeviers. “[Elle] reprend le texte de 1635. C’est \u00e0 tort que l’on consid\u00e8re cette \u00e9dition comme elz\u00e9virienne (Montaigne n’a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9e dans la collection elz\u00e9virienne), bien que le format soit identique. Elle fut tr\u00e8s recherch\u00e9e des bibliophiles au XIXe si\u00e8cle et la plupart des exemplaires sur le march\u00e9 de la librairie ancienne sont richement habill\u00e9s de maroquin (souvent doubl\u00e9 avec dentelles int\u00e9rieures)” (Desan).<\/p>\n
