Historiæ Epitome Regum Franciæ A Pharamundo Usque Ad Ludovicum XV…Abrégé D’Histoire Des Rois De France, Depuis Pharamond Jusqu’a Louis XV.
Chambery, M.-F. Gorrin 1771.
8vo (188 x 113 mm.). III, III, 28, 28, [1]p. Facing Latin and French text, typographic arms of France on the title.
Blind-ruled contemporary cat’s paw calf over flexible paper boards (scuffed), flat spine, edges sprinkled red.
Only Edition of this collection of one hundred-thirty Latin and French acrostic poems on sixty-five kings of France, Pharamond to Louis XV. It clearly had limited circulation: I have located only three other copies in France. The author is otherwise unknown. In good condition; the fifteen careful manuscript text corrections (to the Latin only) are likely by the author or printer.
