MOLIÈRE Les oeuvres de Monsieur Molière [- Les oeuvres posthumes [...]]. Amsterdam J. Le Jeune [- Suivant la copie imprimée à Paris, s.n.] [imprim. par D. Elzevier (vol. I-V), Wetstein (vol. VI)] 1675 [- 1684] 6 vol. in-12 (n.c.). Jansenist red morocco signed Belz-Niedrée, gilt titled spines, blue morocco linings with wide gilt lace, gilt edges (spine slightly split over 3 cm in vol. I, corners slightly dulled, slight rubbing on nerves, edges and headpieces). Otherwise a magnificent copy in Belz-Niedrée lined morocco with wide, harmonious inner lace. 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).
