Although published five years apart, all bibliographies consulted indicate that these two editions must be combined to make a complete copy of Amadis Jamyn's works. The second volume has not been reprinted, and is therefore rarer to come across. Copies of the first volume can be found addressed to Mamert Patisson or Le Mangnier. It is therefore likely that they shared the edition. The second volume offers a special feature. Folio 129 is a general title to the Discours de la philosophie à passicharis et à Rodanthe, which corresponds to De Backer's description. It is followed by a leaf containing the privilege on the recto and a sonnet introducing the Discours philosophiques on the reverse. This leaf has no signature and has been added to notebook L. The volumes differ slightly in size, which the binder has skilfully homogenized in the binding. Ink stains to 4 leaves in the first volume, a few passages underlined at an early date, title of the second volume repaired and minor marginal restorations to a few leaves. Provenance: Prosper Blanchemain (ex-libris, Maggs catalog Bibliothèque d'un humaniste, 1937, no. 251).
