First collective, partly original edition of Œuvres poétiques and second, partly original editions of Mantice... and Solitaire premier... The Œuvres poétiques contain a Latin pamphlet De coelestibus Asterismis Poëmatium (4f. including a title page), followed by the Recueil des Nouvell'œuvres poetiques (20 folios), both in first editions. Mantice... and Solitaire premier... are volumes usually found following the Œuvres poétiques. As these two pieces were published by the same publisher, we might wonder whether they are not an integral part of the edition. A fine engraved title for the Œuvres poétiques and a title frame for Solitaire premier. Several leaves stained.
