ELZÉVIRIENNE LIBRARY - JANNET Set of 136... - Lot 12 - Briscadieu
ELZÉVIRIENNE LIBRARY - JANNET Set of 136 volumes of the Elzévierienne library, published by Jannet. In-12, on Hollande paper, untrimmed copies, in publisher's red percaline, gilt title and iron with sphere on spine. Overall in good condition. This collection is a true monument of the history of French bookstores. The complete collection (173 volumes) is extremely difficult to constitute. The texts that make it up are unpublished or very rare works or manuscripts from the 15th and 16th centuries and, by exception, a few others from after the 18th century. These works contain the commentaries of the greatest scholars of the time. The publisher Pierre Jannet has made no sacrifice to launch his collection. These beautiful red cloth bindings in the English style decorated with a gilded globe will do the rest to ensure the reputation of the Bibliothèque Elzévirienne.
