Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 2 volumes 8vo (21 cm), IV, 470 pp.; IV, 470 pp. Contemporary calf-backed marbled boards, spines with raised bands, gilt spine panels, marbled edges, marbled endpapers (binding very lightly rubbed, some toning and spotting to first and last leaves). From the library of C. de Valenzi, with armorial bookplates on the front pastedowns of both volumes. A fine and complete set of this celebrated bibliographical anthology, compiled by the French aristocrat, collector, and man of letters known as the Marquis Du Roure, whose refined literary taste and extensive private library informed the selection.

Among the many subjects treated are Nicolas Flamel, the anonymous Quinze Joies du Mariage, Nostradamus, and the celebrated humanist satire Epistolae obscurorum virorum, alongside numerous other bibliographical rarities. Both erudite and entertaining, the Analectabiblion stands as a characteristic product of early nineteenth-century French bibliophilia, combining antiquarian scholarship with a cultivated taste for literary curiosity.…
