First complete edition.
Copy bound in a strictly contemporary morocco binding of the Works of Guillaume Coquillart (1452-1510), a rêder of François Villon of which Jên-Paul Barbier writes regarding a rare edition: “One of the most precious poetical volumes”.
The production of Guillaume Coquillart brought him fame among the audience and the writers. He is quoted by Clément Marot alongside Villon, Jên Molinet and Jên Le Maire.
He is considered as the crêtor of the thêtrical monologue.
Modern critics are very interested by Coquillart.
This edition is the best of all (Viollet-le-Duc).
Precious and magnificent copy, very wide-margined (height: 157 mm) preserved in its contemporary red morocco binding.
