NAVARRE, Marguerite de (1492-1549) - Heptameron français. Les Nouvelles de Marguerite de Navarre. Bern: Nouvelle Société typographique, 1792.

A fine copy in excellent condition and with full margins of the second edition identical to the first of 1780-81 in a Pagnant binding. The title of this collection, with 72 stories, derives from the fact that the story unfolds over seven days, the eighth and last being unfinished.

3 volumes, 8vo (215 x 145mm). Half-titles, engraved frontispiece and title in each volume, 73 illustrations by Freudeberg, 72 vignettes and 72 cul-de-Lampe, partially unopend (curious typographical error in k2v of the third volume, the cul de lampe of k3v printed above the text, occasional and light stains). Half red morocco by Pagnant, gilt spines. (3)
