Contemporary full vellum, titled in ink on spine. Small but not serious loss of vellum at bottom of spine, otherwise good condition of binding and copy.

One of the works that made the glory of Jean-Louis de Balzac, a man of letters famous for the brilliance of his style, and who contributed, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, to the improvement of the French language.
