Fouquet, who died in 1680, had been minister of Finance for Louis XIV., and had achieved exceptional success in dissipating the resources of the realm. His trial lasted three years, and he was condemned to imprisonment for life. “Le Nouveau Testament” from the Vulgate. “À Mons, chez Gaspard Migeot.” 2 vols. 12mo. 1667 This is the first edition of this translation, known as the “New Testament of Mons.” It was printed for Migeot by Elzevir, and was also sold by Elzevir in the Low Countries. “La Vie du Roy Almansor, écrite par le vertueux capitaine Aly Abencufian, traduit de l’espagnol par le P. Fr. d. Obeilh.” 12mo. 1671 “Les Fourberies de Scapin” and the other comedies of Moliere were printed by Elzevir promptly after their appearance in Paris. “Augustini Confessionum Sommalii.” This bears the imprint _Lugduni_ (Lyons), in place of _Lugduni Batavorum_, for the purpose, as before explained, of facilitating its sale in Catholic countries. This was one of the first editions of the Fathers of the Church issued by the Elzevirs. “Les Oeuvres complètes de Molière.” 5 vols. 12mo. 1675 “P. Virgilii Maronis, Opera. Nic. Heinsius recensuit.” 12mo. 1676 A famous specimen of the best of the typography of the Elzevir Press. The long series of Latin classics previously issued by his uncle and cousins were frequently reprinted by Daniel, indicating that the increasing reputation secured for the series had kept them in continued demand throughout Europe. “Gierusalemme Liberata, poema heroico del Sig. Torquato Tasso,” printed in the Italian, with twenty illustrations. 2 vols. 1678 Several other of Tasso’s poems were, later, issued by Elzevir. Tasso had died in 1595. The last work issued by Daniel Elzevir was an edition by Francis Delebve of the “Opera medica” of Sylvius, printed in a handsome quarto volume. The widow of Daniel Elzevir (who survived him but a year) was able to complete the printing of a few volumes which had been left unfinished, but the publishing record of the House was practically closed with the death of Daniel in 1680. The Elzevirs had carried on business as printers, publishers, and booksellers, in their several Houses in Leyden, Amsterdam, Utrecht, and The Hague, from 1583 to 1681, a period covering nearly a century. Their several catalogues give the titles of 1608 separate works or editions issued or printed by them during this time, an average of about sixteen each year. It was naturally the case, however, that the publications issued annually during the later period very much exceeded those for which the founder of the House was responsible.
