RACINE (Jean). Œuvres. Paris, Claude Barbin, 1677. 2 vols. in-12 Brown calf, spine ribbed and decorated (contemporary binding). Covers worn. I. Frontispiece by Ch. Le Brun, [4] ff. 363 pp. 5 figures by F. Chauveau engraved out of text. II. Frontispiece (unsigned), [6] ff, 324-[3] pp, 4 figures by F. Chauveau engraved out of text + A frontispiece by Ch. Le Brun (slight foxing), [5] ff (false title and preface) and 74 pp. Very rare collective collection edition containing the following plays: La Thébaïde, ou les Frères ennemis, Alexandre le Grand, Andromaque, Britannicus, Les Plaideurs (first volume), Bérénice, Bajazet, Mithridate, Iphigénie (second volume). With bound in fine: the ORIGINAL EDITION of PHÈDRE given in Paris, by Jean Ribou, in 1677, and placed with proper pagination ([VI]+74) at the end of volume II. "There are copies of each volume with Claude Barbin's name on the title. This first edition of Racine's works is highly sought-after." Le Petit, who also describes the regular presence of the edition of Phèdre at the end of this collective edition, points out that this is the second original edition (it is now established, according to Ivan Barko's research - "Du nouveau sur l'édition originale de Phèdre", Australian Journal of French Studies, III, 1966, pp. 282-311 -, that the second edition was printed immediately after the first, by the same firm and on the same stock of paper, the composition having only been tightened by the protector so as to reduce the text from 78 to 74 pages). The verso of title II is the first printing (before the printed mention of Phèdre et Hippolyte). Missing cuts (without loss of text) at the top of the titles of the 2 volumes. Ex-libris JM. (Tchemerzine, IX, 355; Le Petit 380-382.)
