Lachèvre tells us that: "This collection of 1615, the second by Toussainct du Bray, contains 347 pieces, two of which are duplicates, making a total of 345 pieces: 98 are new, 140 come from the Nouveau recueil des plus beaux vers de 1609 and 107 have been published previously" (Lachèvre, I, p. 51). A second edition of this collection appeared in 1618 and the sequel, announced in the privilege, was not published until 1620. A fine copy bound by Huser. Washed copy, very skilful restorations to the title, to the third leaf and to the upper corners of the last leaves.
