Margaret, Queen of Navarre, 1492-1549

"The Tales Of The Heptameron, Vol. V. (of V.)"

In this edition the Bibliophile Jacob (M. P. Lacroix) but
slightly modified Gruget's text, and his annotation was comparatively
insignificant. His work was reproduced in a volume of the _Pantheon
Litteraire: Les vieux Conteurs francais_, Paris, 1841, 1. 8vo. (double
cols.).
XXIII. _Heptameron des Nouvelles de... Margtierile d'Angouleme...
publiee sur les manuscrits par la Societe des Bibliophiles Francais_ (Le
Roux de Lincy, editor), Paris, 1853-4, 3 vols. sm. 18mo.
In this edition the real text of the tales was printed for the first
time, M. de Lincy having carefully examined the best MSS. for this
purpose. The present English translation is based upon his work. Copies
of the "Bibliophiles Francais" edition, which contains a portrait of the
Queen, a facsimile of a miniature, and an engraving showing her arms and
device, cannot be purchased, when in fair condition, for less than L6 in
Paris.
XXIV. _L'Heptameron des Nouvelles, etc.... avec des notes et une
notice par P. L. Jacob, Bibliophile_ (Paul Lacroix). Adolphe Delahays,
_Bibliotheque Gauloise_, Paris, 1858, 18mo.
In this edition M. Lacroix, following M. de Lincy's example, went to the
MSS.
