Jacques Davy DU PERRON
Ambassades et negociations de l'illustrissime et révérendissime Cardinal Du Perron
Chez Pierre Chaudiere|à Paris 1620|23 x 35 cm|relié
First edition, extremely rare. One most often finds, even in libraries, the second and third editions of 1623 and 1629, and especially that of 1633. As an example, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France possesses 13 copies of the Ambassades, 5 from 1623, 2 from 1629, and 6 from 1633, but none of this 1620 edition. 2 blank leaves before the title. We have found no trace of this edition in online library catalogues, neither at the British Library, nor in English or French catalogues, Russian, etc. Printer's device on title page, Lion and fleur de lys. The 1623 edition would add a portrait and the epistle to Pierre Brulard, at the address of Antoine Estienne, or Guillaume Loyson, the 2 blank leav
