Paris, Editions du Verger, 1948. Limited edition of 270 numbered copies; this is one of the copies reserved for collaborators, with the illustrator’s EAS inscription to Jean Guignard.

Facsimile in a numbered but unjustified print run, with the set of woodcuts. Case slightly damaged. A paleographer, archivist, and erudite humanist, Jacques Guignard (1912–1980) devoted his career to the National Library, where he directed the Printed Works Reserve before heading the Arsenal Library from 1961 to 1980. Combining a deep knowledge of the history of the book with a rare artistic sensibility, he enriched and promoted the heritage collections while playing a pioneering role in the development of international bibliophilia.
