Clément MAROT
Les oeuvres de Clément Marot, valet de chambre du roi. Revues et augmentées de nouveau
Chez Adrian Moetjens|à La Haye [The Hague] 1700|8.50 x 14.20 cm|2 volumes reliés
First collected edition. First issue copy with the 2 identical title fleurons, enriched with 2 frontispiece portraits by Holbent but engraved by 2 different artists. Furthermore, no edition of Marot's poetry is recorded between 1615 and this one. Edition that joins the Elzevier collection.
Handsome edition, the most sought-after according to Brunet (III, 1458), who adds: "It is difficult to procure well-preserved copies with good margins and whose leaves do not have a reddish tint." Ours is of appreciable freshness with some very rare and very pale minimal foxing.
English binding in full glazed red morocco doublure of lemon morocco and signed with a red morocco pastille: St. James.
