Description

The editor, 21-year-old Francisque Michel, had yet to graduate from high school when he published this volume, but would later go on to win undying fame as an editor of medieval French texts, including the first edition of the Chanson de Roland. 16mo. Original plain wraps. UNCUT. Light wear and tear to extremities of wraps, otherwise PRISTINE. Very rare, especially in such fine condition.
