SECOND EDITION IN ORIGINAL PART.

Second and best edition of this book for anyone interested in local history in Burgundy. There is much information on rare and curious history of the villages of Burgundy. Even today this book may be consulted with profit.

Quite complete the 3 folding maps and plans of the 2 large folders of Dijon (one of Edward Bredin from 1574 to the cavalier and Le Pautre drawn in 1696). The first edition, published in the late eighteenth century by Abbot Courtépée, tare is complete in 7 volumes (published over a long period) and much less complete. Here we find the version of the Abstract Courtépée history (which is published twice that time), the Burgundian Questions ... Mr. Roget, Baron Belloguet; the records of Father Richard, the memoirs of Canon Chenevet on the origin of Dijon.

Well printed on fine vellum slightly tinted, our copy has some foxing as is often the first and last pages, as well as slices, but not serious. All are finely connected at the time and very fresh. Condition is quite rare for this book already unusual.

COPY OF THIS BEAUTIFUL WORK OF REFERENCE ON THE BOURGOGNE.

Price: 1,250 euros
