Rare forgery given by Plantin in Antwerp. Christophe Plantin, originally from Touraine, established himself as a printer in Antwerp shortly before 1550. Divided into three parts with separate folios and signatures, this edition includes Les Amours (with title copied from the Paris edition of 1553), the Continuation des Amours (with title copied from the original 1555 edition) and the Bocage et Meslanges (untitled, copied from the original editions of 1554 and 1555). This edition is very rare. Tchemerzine lists four copies, including perhaps our own, to which Scheler adds two. The USTC lists four copies in institutions, of which only the one in Antwerp's Plantin-Moretus Museum appears to be complete in all three parts. A very fine copy, despite some light wetness in the margins of the first 3 sections. Provenance: possibly the El. Huillard (I, February 14-19, 1870, no. 406, in red morocco by Koehler, cited by Tchemerzine).
