GUY DE TOURS (Michel Guy, dit).

Les Premières œuvres poétiques et souspirs amoureux. Paris, David Douceur, 1602. In-12, grained calf, cold fillet, ornate spine, red title page, red edges (18th century binding). Second issue of the original 1598 edition, copies of which had sold poorly, with a title renewed to 1602. It is also rare: according to the CCFr, no copies are preserved in French public collections. J. P. Barbier-Mueller has described a peculiarity of this copy: cahier D has 14 leaves instead of 12, as leaves 42 and 43 are duplicates, in which the omitted line of sonnet XIIII is restored. From the Desmeure library (printed bookplate). Light staining in some quires; small worm holes at foot of quires M, N, O and P, sometimes restored. Heads, spines and corners restored. J. P. Barbier-Mueller, IV-2, n°53. - Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire..., n°388.
