There, Pyrame married the daughter of Eustache Vignon and became a citizen in 1594, before moving his printing works to Yverdon. Elegant sown binding with the arms of Louis XIII. Binding restored, white endpapers renewed, paper repair at the foot of the title and in the lower corner of the last 18 leaves of the table. Ex-libris crossed out on the title (small holes).
