MONTEMAYOR (Jorge de). THE SEVEN BOOKS OF LA DIANA… In which, under the title *Shepherds and Shepherdesses*, are recounted the most notable love stories of Spain. Translated from Spanish into French, and compared in both languages. P.S.G.P. And once again, revised and corrected by Mr. J.D. Bertranet. Paris, Anthoine du Brueil, 1611. Large 8vo, [4]-353, poorly paginated. 347–[10] leaves, soft vellum (contemporary binding). Bilingual edition printed in two columns. This Spanish romance, written by the Portuguese author de Montemayor, was first published in 1559. Like *L’Astrée*, it helped launch the fashion for stories about shepherds, shepherdesses, and their pastoral romances. A few delicate marginal illustrations. A copy that has remained in pristine condition.
