I. The first work is one of the earliest reports in French of the travels and discoveries made by the Florentine navigator Amerigo Vespucci in America. The first edition had been published in 1516/17 by Galliou Dupré, who was granted the Royal privilege to print Le Nouveau Monde. Despite this privilege, the work was immediately pirated, and some editions appeared on the market without privilege or imprint, all exceendingly rare, and recorded nowadays only in two or three copies. The present edition was in all likelihood issued by the Parisian Jean Trepperel, somewhere between 1516 and 1525. II. Very rare edition of the Histoires de la terre d'Orient by the Prince Hetoum, printed by Philippe le Noir. This copy is seemingly of a different issue from the one in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (coll. Rés. O2R 18 B), with slight variations to the title-page. II. The third work is an early and lavisly illustrated edition of the first hunting book to be printed in France. It was issued by Jean Trepperel, and is datable between 1525 and 1529. Of this edition two different issues are recorded. The present copy belongs to the first issue, with printer's device printed in black on the colophon leaf. Despite their individual defects, this is an outstanding sammelband of truly rare works. Literature: Thiébaud, 396-399.
