Description
[LITERATURE] [CERVANTES] [DON QUIXOTE]
A new and authentic account of the History and Adventures of the incomparable Don Quixote of La Mancha. Translated from a Spanish manuscript by Cid-Hamet Benengely, his true historian.
Paris, Clousier, 1741.
6 volumes in-12°. Full contemporary binding in fawn sheepskin. Ribbed spine, decorated with gilt metalwork and fleurons. Minor, usual wear to the head and foot. Blunted corners, some scuffing on the covers.
Separate frontispiece and 35 separate intaglio-engraved plates, 2 separate folded music sheets.
An anonymous continuation of Don Quixote. It was once attributed to Le Sage. Although its literary qualities are a far cry from those of Cervantes’ work, this continuation, full of twists and turns and incredible adventures, is not without its colour. The final volume is entitled *The Story of Sancho Panza, Mayor of Blandanda*
An illustrated edition featuring 36 picturesque engravings.
