THREE STATES OF THE FIRST PRINT RUN ARE DESCRIBED BY BIBLIOGRAPHERS:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The first state is unknown<\/strong> : \"We don't know of a first edition copy without boxes...<\/em>\"Tchemerzine.<\/li>\n
  • The second state, \"an intermediate state\",\u00a0<\/strong>possesses: a table without numerical cross-references; the Privilege, dated October 8, 1687, with no time limit; an errata leaf with vertical pontoons. It is an intermediate state with between 10 and 25 boxes, with pagination errors and mistakes in the text. Initially counted at 6 copies, we know today more than ten copies of this second edition.<\/strong>which for the most part have a different number of cartons, pagination errors and mistakes, testifying to the corrections made by La Bruy\u00e8re during printing.<\/li>\n
  • The third state\u00a0<\/strong>contains 26 cartons, the Privilege dated October 8, 1687 and granted for 10 years, an errata sheet with horizontal pontoons and pagination errors are corrected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    THIS COPY HAS ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SECOND STATE. With 24 cartons,\u00a0<\/strong>it's one of the last printouts of the very first known state.
