The first Elzevier edition, consisting of the twenty-seven pieces first printed separately by Daniel Elzevier. With two plays not by Molière: "Le festin de Pierre" by de Dorimond and "L'ombre de Molière" by de Brécourt. As the edition is not complete with these 5 volumes, bibliophiles have almost always seen fit, as is the case here, to include the volume of Oeuvres posthumes published in Amsterdam by Le Jeune in 1684. Illustrated with a frontispiece in vol. I and 5 hors-texte in vol. VI. Ref. Willems 1511. Prov. Diane Gratzmüller (bookplate).
