François MAYNARD

First collected edition containing some unpublished pieces. One of the rare copies containing both epistles by Bois-Robert and Scarron (most copies contain fewer preliminary leaves). A frontispiece portrait of the author drawn by Petrus and engraved by Daret; a title vignette, printer's device on title page.
Contemporary limp vellum binding. Smooth unlettered spine. Light stains to upper board. Worming to preliminary leaves, after the first two leaves, to lower margin; although confined to margin, numerous wormholes throughout preliminary leaves. Also to note, worming to table of contents and extending from final text leaves, always to lower margin. Some foxing and yellowed leaves./
