| Item Description: | Signatures: [pi]¹ [A]⁴-R⁴ S³. Half title present of Endymion. Endymion has separate half-title and title page (following main title page) with imprint 'A Copenhague et se trouve à Paris'. Translation and adaptation of these works has been variously attributed to Georg Adam Junker and Louis d'Ussieux. Cf. Bibl. Nat., Quérard and Barbier. See also Goedeke, v. 4, p. 200. Signatures A-D printed on grayish paper with chainlines 2.7 cm. apart; E-S printed on white paper with chainlines 3.0 cm. apart. The size of the type page also differs, so it is likely that the two sections were printed separately. This hypothesis is borne out by the existence at the Library of Congress of an issue containing only the last three contes, with t.p.: Contes comique / traduit de l'allemand par M. M***. Francfort : F. Varentrapp ... 1771. Another copy including all four contes and both t.p.s. exists at the Bibliothèque Nationale. Frontispiece engraved by Ménil after Poncelot. |
