Chez Nicolas Gosselin, à Paris 1700, in-12 (8,5x15cm), (22) 97pp., relié.

Mention of third edition. The colophon bears the date 1702; Indeed, the play was shown that in 1701 and first published posthumously only took place in 1702, there has actually had three different prints in 1702, one at Damien Beugnié , the other to that of the Widow of Clement Gasse, and the last in Nicolas Gosselin. Full sheepskin brown vintage. Back tooled raised. Part of title in red morocco. Tail cap threadbare. Rubbed together. Blunt corners. In addition to the dedication that explains the project of the author, the book contains a preface in which the playwright attacks the objections against his play. Boursault died in 1701, before printing. Like most comedies of the author was called comedy with drawers or episodes (in the absence of overall plot), it was written in verse. some passages that could overshadow Louis XIV were censored and rewritten. Boursault often experienced a major success with its beautiful rooms, under a natural comic and satirical, and many turned to good, and he is a key figure in the theater of the time, but his work did not pass the time can -be because of its dramatic weakness. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
