LONGUS. Les Amours pastorales de Daphnis et de Chloé. Translated by Amiot. [Paris: Quillau] 1718.
8° (159 x 95mm). Engraved frontispiece by Antoine Coypel and 28 plates, including 13 double-page, by the Regent, Philippe d'Orléans, engraved by Benoit Audran, engraved vignette by Scotin. (Occasional very minor staining; small marginal rust-stain on plate at p.150). Contemporary red morocco in the style of Padeloup, a mosaique binding of wide dentelles with 12 olive and green onlays of lyres, hearts and clasping hands; spine with raised bands in six compartments with floral onlays and olive lettering piece, inner dentelles, edges gilt, blue silk doublures and liners.
The 'edition de Régent', the first edition of one of the most famous and 'bibliophile' French 18th-century illustrated books. The drawings for the illustrations were made by Philippe, duc d'Orléns under the tutelage of Antoine Coypel in 1714 and subsequently engraved by Audran. The book was re-issued several times with different versions of the same engravings during the 18th century. This edition is rare, as only 250 copies were printed. The present copy does not have the additional final plate 'Les petits pieds' by the Comte de Caylus which was not issued until 1728. Cohen-De Ricci 648-9; Sander 1221; Ray French 2
