Rare forgery given by Plantin in Antwerp. Christophe Plantin, originally from Tours, established himself as a printer in Antwerp shortly before 1550. Divided into three parts with separate folios and signatures, this edition includes Les Amours (with a title copied from the Paris edition of 1553), the Continuation des Amours (with a title copied from the original edition of 1555) and the Bocage et Meslanges (untitled, a copy of the original editions of 1554 and 1555). This edition is very rare. Tchemerzine lists four copies, including perhaps ours, to which Scheler adds two. The USTC lists four copies in institutions, of which only the one in the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp appears to be complete with all three parts. A very good copy, despite a pale wetness in the margins of the first 3 sections. Provenance: possibly the El. Huillard (I, 14-19 February 1870, No. 406, in red morocco by Koehler, cited by Tchemerzine).
