Publisher’s pictorial wrappers. - “This began with Chouet L’Apocalypse Saint Jehan 1541 in one of the bindings, apparently for Louis XIII and Anne of Austria, but recently shown by Isabelle de Conihout and Pascal Ract-Madoux to have emanated c. 1700 from a group of book-collectors with a taste for the past, Duvivier, Leriche and La Vieuville, the last perhaps responsible for them… The catalogue ended with no less than ten De Thou bindings, two in the especially attractive limp vellum” (from a notice in The Book Collector, Autumn 2004, p.420). ¶ Unmarked copy.
