LABE (Louise). Works of Louise Labé, Lyonnoize. Lyon, Scheuring, 1862. In-12, in sheets as issued in a pink titled folder. Printed at 209 copies. Here is undoubtedly the book where the august characters and the poems form the most happy association. It is a masterpiece of typography and a jewel to Jean de Tournes. On this subject Louis Perrin had declared to the Count of Soultrait "The Louise Labé that I printed in 1824 makes me feel like a forgery and causes me remorse; to find the Belle-Cordière it is necessary to search in the editions of Jean de Tournes". Exceptional copy of the Lyon historian André Steyert with some annotations in pencil in the margin.
