1896 · Paris
by Margry, Pierre
Paris: Ernest Leroux, 1896. First edition. Cloth. A very good copy; original wrappers browned, owner's armorial bookplate on front pastedown, occasional soiling, some minor edgewear.. viii, 320 pp. Illus. with 3 b/w engravings. Sm. 4to. Pages 129-249 contain "Le Canarien" (from Brit. Mus. ms. Egerton 2709). Margry attributes the manuscript to Piere Bontier and contends that Bergeron's edition (1630), using both Bontier's and Le Verrier's works, was produced to enhance Jean Béthencourt while diminishing Gadifer de La Salle. Uncommon.
