for his text, which he annotated with care and erudition. All his
notes of any importance are reproduced in the present translation. The
edition of 1858 was reprinted in 1875.
XXV. _L'Heptameron, &c_. Gamier freres, Paris, n.d., 1 vol. 18mo.

considerably modernised, is of no value.
XXVI. _Les sept Journees de la Reine de Navarre, suivies de la
huitieme_. Paris, Librairie des Bibliophiles (Jouaust), 1872, 4 vols.
l6mo.
In this edition Gruget's text is followed; the notes, &c, are by M.
Lacroix. The work is prized for its illustrations (a portrait and eight
etchings) by Leopold Flameng. It was originally issued in eight parts.
The value of the copies varies according to the paper on which they are
printed. Those on India or Whatman paper, with a duplicate set of the
engravings, command high prices. The text has been reissued by the same
firm in two cr. 8vo vols, under the title of _L'Heptameron des contes,
etc_.
XXVII. _L'Heptameron des Nouvelles, &c_, preface, notes, &c, by Benjamin
Pifteau, in the _Nouvelle Collection Jannet_, Alphonse Lemerre, Paris,
1875, 2 vols.
