Havana half-basin slipcase, 4-nerved spine, boards in aurora moiré silk. The slipcase contains a half-basane booklet translating the text into modern French.

Edition of 1200 copies (+ H.C.), no. 1105 (volume 1) and 1104 (volume 2) on Lana chiffon vellum. A pleasant edition of these two versions of the medieval text.
