[Le BOULANGER de CHALUSSAY].
Elomire, That is to say Moliere, hypocondre, or the Doctors revenge. Comédie. In Paris [i. e. Amsterdam, Abraham Wolfgang], 1671. Large in-16 (75 x 128 mm), red morocco, triple gilt fillet framing the boards, ribbed spine decorated in the grotesque style, gilt edges (Devauchelle). New edition of this violent pamphlet against Molière, published the year before. [IV] + 76 pp. Sphere mark on the title. An engraved frontispiece. From the Bruno Monnier library, with bookplate. First spine cracked at the foot. "At Molière's insistence, this edition [i.e. the Paris original, 1670] was seized and scrapped. The Amsterdam edition is even more difficult to find, and can be considered one of the rarest items in the Elzevirian collection" (Willems, 1849); Guibert, II, 803-804; Rahir, 2465.
