XXII. _L’Heptamêron, ou Histoire des Amants fortunés, &c, ancien texte publié par C. Gruget.., revu, corrigé et publié avec des notes, &c., par le bibliophile Jacob_. Gosselin (Bibliothèque d’Élite), Paris, 1841, 12mo. In this edition the Bibliophile Jacob (M. P. Lacroix) but slightly modified Gruget’s text, and his annotation was comparatively insignificant. His work was reproduced in a volume of the _Panthéon Littéraire: Les vieux Conteurs français_, Paris, 1841, 1. 8vo. (double cols.). XXIII. _Heptaméron des Nouvelles de... Margtierile d’Angouléme... publiée sur les manuscrits par la Société des Bibliophiles Français_ (Le Roux de Lincy, editor), Paris, 1853-4, 3 vols. sm. 18mo. In this edition the real text of the tales was printed for the first time, M. de Lincy having carefully examined the best MSS. for this purpose. The present English translation is based upon his work. Copies of the “Bibliophiles Français” edition, which contains a portrait of the Queen, a facsimile of a miniature, and an engraving showing her arms and device, cannot be purchased, when in fair condition, for less than £6 in Paris. XXIV. _L’Heptaméron des Nouvelles, etc.... avec des notes et une notice par P. L. Jacob, Bibliophile_ (Paul Lacroix). Adolphe Delahays, _Bibliothèque Gauloise_, Paris, 1858, 18mo. In this edition M. Lacroix, following M. de Lincy’s example, went to the MSS. for his text, which he annotated with care and erudition. All his notes of any importance are reproduced in the present translation. The edition of 1858 was reprinted in 1875. XXV. _L’Heptaméron, &c_. Gamier frères, Paris, n.d., 1 vol. 18mo. This was long the “popular” edition in France. The text, which is considerably modernised, is of no value. XXVI. _Les sept Journées de la Reine de Navarre, suivies de la huitième_. Paris, Librairie des Bibliophiles (Jouaust), 1872, 4 vols. l6mo. In this edition Gruget’s text is followed; the notes, &c, are by M. Lacroix. The work is prized for its illustrations (a portrait and eight etchings) by Leopold Flameng. It was originally issued in eight parts. The value of the copies varies according to the paper on which they are printed. Those on India or Whatman paper, with a duplicate set of the engravings, command high prices. The text has been reissued by the same firm in two cr. 8vo vols, under the title of _L’Heptaméron des contes, etc_. XXVII. _L’Heptaméron des Nouvelles, &c_, preface, notes, &c, by Benjamin Pifteau, in the _Nouvelle Collection Jannet_, Alphonse Lemerre, Paris, 1875, 2 vols. l6mo. This, undoubtedly the best of all the cheap editions, has been reprinted by Marpon & Flammarion, Paris, n.d. The text is from the MSS.; the notes are mainly abbreviated from those of MM. de Lincy and Lacroix. M. Pifteau supplies an introduction and glossary. XXVIII. _L’Heptaméron, &c., publié avec Introduction, Notes et Glossaire par Félix Frank_. Liseux, Paris, 1879, 3 vols. 12mo.
