Nouvelle édition. Folio (9.5" x 14.25"). [16], 552pp., illustrated with copperplate engravings. Text in French. Bound in later full leather by Otto Mintzlaff, gilt decorated, marbled endpapers, edges stained red. Mintzlaff's stamp is on the front pastedown, later small ink presentation on the front fly leaf. The front joint is split, small mended tear at the crown, two preliminary "Avertissement" text pages are soiled, the upper right corner and fore-edge of the second Avertissement leaf is partially damaged, and a few short tears to the upper right corner and margin of about three other leaves, else very good. The many fine copperplate engravings throughout the text are bright and clean. A scarce, early folio edition of Fontaine's classic retelling of the Scripture in prose for children. Commonly known by his pseudonym as the *Bible of Royaumont*, this copy is also notable for the high artistic quality of its engravings. Codice articolo 395669
