Paris: Firmin-Didot et Cie, 1914, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1924. Series: 'Société des anciens textes français.' Printed in France. Dates on all title pages. First Printings. Introduction, Erratum, Texte, Notes, Glossaire, Table des Noms Propres, Post-Scriptum, 350 [1]; 351; 331; 324; 346 [1]; plus 4 pages of ads at rear of each volume. These volumes are of mixed condition: the brick-colored cloth on four volumes shows a bit of rubbing to the extremities; Volume III has a partial split at the rear joint but text-block remains strong. Volume IV has wrinkling on its textured-paper over boards which affects the endpapers slightly but has not intruded into the interior leaves: they are fresh, crisp, and clean like all the others. All five volumes are very good internally---some even near fine. One page has a small tear in the margin not affecting any text; many pages are still unopened. NB: The top-edge of Volume I bears a stain from a fountain pen which intrudes into the margin on about a dozen pages---very small, and no text is touched. [Please see my five images of the actual books.] Feel free to contact me for further details or to see more images. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking. Please note there is no extra charge for shipping these 5 volumes via domestic book-rate; however, priority and international shipping costs will be doubled.
