Les oeuvres de Clément Marot, valet de chambre du roi. Revues et augmentées de nouveau

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. London (ca 1840?). Raised spine richly decorated, with antique 18th-century fleurons, roulettes on the bands. Gilt titles. Dates at tail. Triple frame on boards with dotted fillets and corner fleurons. Interior frieze. Lemon morocco pastedowns with red morocco pastille of the binder. Japan paper endpapers. Gilt edges.
A slip pasted on one of the endpages: "From Renouard's Library". Renouard Library.
Magnificent copy.
