About This Item
Buxtehude,: [no imprint],, 1753. 10, [ii, blank] pp. 8vo (13,5 x 19,5 cm.). Contemporary grey wrappers, uncut. Preserved in a recent marbled slipcae, gilt lettered red morocco label on front side. Only one copy known!. A collection of 15 occasional verses published during Maupertuis period in Berlin. We have been unable to establish the author of these verses. At the recto of the title page we find "Soit imprimé. P.L.M. de Maupertuis", the last verses is signed "P.L.M. v. Maupertuis". Anyhow, a most curious item of great rarity, a copy with ample margins, and the bookplate of "G.H". PLEASE NOTE that this is not and 1753 imprint, but a reprint (early 20th century) of the only copy known and manupulated that it looks a real 18th century imprint with the usual age marks. A fine exemple of BOOK FORGERY.
