Specialist Notes
SOUGHT-AFTER EDITION FOR THE ENGRAVINGS ATTRIBUTED TO ROMAIN DE HOOGHE, present here in the first edition, which will be subsequently reproduced in 1700 and 1708 by the same publisher.
The 1698 edition of "Contes et nouvelles de Marguerite de Valois" is a revised and "contemporary" version of the original Heptaméron, published in Amsterdam by Georges Gallet. This collection is famous for its ribald and witty tales, inspired by the work of Marguerite de Navarre but adapted for a 17th-century audience.
