Gyges Gallus [...]. Accessere Somnia sapientis.

12mo: [1-1 bl.-10]-478-[2] bl. pp. (toned and spotted throughout).

Contemp. vellum, flat spine titled in ink, 2 metal pin clasps. Good copy.

Probably a pirated reprint of a curious Neo-Latin novel describing the vices and virtues of its time, and a popular satire on contemporary ideas and practices, by the French Capuchin Zacharie de Lisieux (1596-1661). He uses the old story of the invisible man Gyges, who is able to visit various French private houses without being seen.
