Description
MEUNG (Jean de). *Le Dodechedron de fortune*. A book no less entertaining and enjoyable than it is subtle and ingenious amongst all games and pastimes of chance. Paris, Gilles Robinot, 1615. In-8, fawn calfskin, triple blind-stamped band and small gilt fleurons at the corners, decorated spine, inner lace, gilt edges (Petit, successor to Simier).

Online catalogues list only three copies in public collections (two in Paris and one in Ghent).
A fine copy, complete with the folded plate printed in red and black.
From the Ferdinand Gauthier library, with bookplate.
