SOMAIZE (Antoine Beaudeau, sieur de). Le Dictionnaire des Précieuses.
Paris, Jannet, 1856.
2 volumes in-12, anthracite morocco, boards decorated with a central medallion and gilt fleurons, interior lace, ornate ribbed spines, gilt edges (period binding).
The preface is a veritable history of preciosity in France; it presents Livet's documented research on the influence exerted in the 17th century by women, and in particular by the Hôtel de Rambouillet: These women were given the name Précieuses. A very fine copy.
