Théâtre du monde

Reissue of the 1775 edition, illustrated with 20 beautiful figures by Moreau le Jeune and Marillier, engraved by De Longueil, Née...

Contemporary full speckled calf binding. Smooth spine handsomely decorated. Pink morocco title label and black morocco volume label. Lacking at headcap of volume IV. 4 corners slightly bumped.

Pleasant compilation of texts drawn from authors of Antiquity and medieval and modern authors, illustrating vices and virtues through narratives. It allows one to discover forgotten texts by Diodorus Siculus, Pliny... and historical texts of the Middle Ages. Very educational and quite enjoyable to read.
