Lyon

The work was placed on the Index and reissued in 1575 in an expurgated version. The first French translation appears to have been published in 1527, according to a copy held at the University of Glasgow, although another source gives 1528 as the date of the first French edition in Latin by Robert Estienne. Rare, like all editions. Not listed in the BnF or in French library catalogues (with the exception of a 1586 Lyon edition), nor in many other library holdings. Brunet gives 1499 as the original date, V, 1135. Le Grégoire cites 1571 for the first edition...
Bound in full brick paper-covered boards, late 18th or early 19th century; title in ink faded and illegible.

New edition. The work was placed on the Index and reissued in 1575 in an expurgated version; the present copy predates that censorship. The first French translation appears to have been published in 1527, according to a copy held at the University of Glasgow, although another source gives 1528 as the date of the first French edition in Latin, printed by Robert Estienne. Rare, as are all editions. Not recorded in the BnF or French library catalogues (except for a 1586 Lyon edition), and absent from many institutional holdings. We have been unable to trace the date of the original edition, likely printed in Italy in the early years of the 16th century, although Grégoire lists 1571 as the first edition, while Brunet gives 1499.
Printed in italic type.
Contemporary full vellum binding.
Wormholes to the spine, a tear to the head of the vellum.
