Bindings in full marble calf of time. Smooth back with 2 lyre bars and 2 grotesque caissons. Casters of Greek. Title and tomato pieces in red morocco. Double frieze framing on the boards. Slices golden. Backs evenly thinned. Traces of friction notably at the joints. Small scattered foxing. Good copy overall.
This translation of the Elegies of Tibulle and the famous Kisses of Jean Second (poetic variations on the nature of kisses) was executed during the stay of Mirabeau in the prison of Vincenne, it is dedicated to Sophie Ruffey. The third volume is occupied by the tales and short stories of the same Tibulle. All the works translated in this collection are deliciously libertine and gallant, homage of Mirabeau to the love of her beautiful, they are embellished with notes and comments.
