Well printed edition of the collected poetry of Jean Marot, the father of Clément Marot; it incudes the Voyage de Genes and many smaller poems.

Finely bound by Fauchet of which Ramsden states: “No doubt the same as the Fauché of whom Lesné speaks well.” He had a long career, first at Monsieur le Prince 19 in 1821, then at Mathurin 11 in 1826, and finally at Harpe 66 from 1835-49.
