    First French edition of this important study. Translation from English with notes by MM. Verhulst and A. Quetelet. The second volume is from 1833.

    New edition, rare. The only quarto edition of Saint-Evremont's works. Barbin's flourished monogram on title page.

Barbin would thus publish several collections titled "Oeuvres meslées," sometimes adding new pieces. Ornamental headpieces, tailpieces and decorated initials. Privilege of 1688. This edition is often presented as a first edition and perhaps certain texts are indeed so here; in any case, Barbin required a new privilege to publish his work.
    Contemporary full marbled and grained calf binding. Spine with raised bands richly decorated. Tobacco morocco title label.

    Famous orientalist and pioneer of Egyptology, translator of the Quran, fluent Arabic speaker, Savary brought back several tales from his travels, and it is specified in the foreword that this is a translation.
