12mo. 171pp, [1]. With four engraved plates. Handsomely bound in contemporary gilt-tooled red morocco, T.E.G. A trifle rubbed. Blue silk endpapers, recent bookplate of Robert J. Hayhurst to verso of FFEP, very occasional light spotting.

A sumptuously bound, early edition (printed in the same year as the first) of French polymath Louis-Elisabeth de la Vergne, comte de Tressan's (1705-1783) adaptation of the 1526 printing of the perennially popular medieval chivalric romance Gerard de Nevers.

The finely executed plates, after designs by renowned draughtsman and illustrator Jean-Michel Moreau le Jeune (1741-1814), were engraved by J. B. Simmonet, E. de Gendt, Malbette, and Dupriel.
