GIROFFLIER AUX DAMES (Le) Ensemble le Dit des Sibiles. Printed in Paris by Michel Le Noir, [Adam Pilinski], s.d. [1861]. Small in-4, jansenist green morocco, interior lace, gilt edges (Capé). Remarkable homeographic reproduction using Adam Pilinski's process, stamped at the bottom of the last leaf. Only a very small number of copies were printed. It is a reprint of an unobtainable Gothic platelet printed around 1510-1515 by Michel Lenoir. The illustration includes 17 curious woodcuts in the text and a large printer's mark on the last leaf. A well-bound copy by Capé. Hinges rubbed, a few stains on the binding. Bechtel, G-147 - Brunet, II, 1616.
