Description
We are offering a four-volume set of Oeuvres Completes De Boileau Despreaux, published in 1729. This collection features the works of Nicolas Boileau, one of the most influential French poets, critics, and satirists of the 17th century. Boileau’s works helped shape French classical literature, and this set includes his satires, epistles, L’Art Poétique, and more.
Condition:
* Bookplate: The set features a bookplate with the name “Eugene De La Fontaine,” suggesting potential historical significance.
* Volume 2: The front board is detached, and a marbled flyleaf is missing. Additionally, pages 275 to 326 have been removed, making the set incomplete.
