Minor brownspotting otherwise internally nice and clean. An excellent copy. Rare first edition.

They were reprinted numerous times and were translated into several languages; -most of them deal with the Middle Ages and the Renaissance a period not commonly investigated at that time. Most of his works are published under pseudonym because of which he is now best known under the name of "Bibliophile Jacob". Aged 28 he was awarded the cross of the "Légion d'Honneur" for his work on the history of the 16th century and 1842 he founded "L'Alliance des Arts" together with M. Thoré. Carteret 2;14.
