New and rare edition, illustrated with 15 figures by Harrewyn, including 13 portraits. Title page of volume I in red and black. All first editions of this work were published by Marteau (Louis Elsevier); the true address of this one is unknown.
This edition, after consulting copies recorded in libraries, does not always contain the figures, and when it does contain them (the British Library copy), only 13 are counted, without the two figures of the clement priest, and the one integrated in Les Sorcelleries de Henry de Valois. Furthermore, the notice to the binder shows only 12 portraits. All these figures are contained in volume I, volume II being occupied by the remarks of Duchat and D
