Abstract
Bodemann seems to say that Didot did a major four-volume illustrated edition of this very size (about 3 x 5) in 1787. This present two-volume set may be the texts of that edition arranged now as part of a series: Collection des Auteurs Classiques François et Latins. The title-page also adds Imprimé par Ordre du Roi pour l'Éducation de Monseigneur le Dauphin. This second volume contains Books VII through XII, with an AI at the book's end. Calf binding and gilt page edges. A lovely little set of volumes, up to the high standards which the commissioning letter by Amelot in the first pages sets.
