First edition.
The first French translation of Zachariae’s poem, rendered by the Abbé Aleaume. The work is divided into four cantos and illustrated with a frontispiece portrait, four full-page engraved plates, and four chapter vignettes, all engraved by Jean-Charles Baquoy (1721–1777) after designs by Eisen (1720–1778).

A very attractive copy, beautifully bound, with only a few pale spots of foxing, slightly more noticeable on the final leaf and final blank.
