Liège: chez J. F. Broncart, Imprimeur en Souverain-Pont, à la Nouvelle Imprimerie, 1703
Each play has its own title-page and an accompanying plate, except for L'Ecole Des Femmes in vol.1 which lacks the plate, though there is no indication that it was ever present. A number of the plate captions have been cropped at the foot and there is some occasional light browning. It is a good copy in what appears to be a contemporary English binding. Each volume has the ink signature of John Holroyd (1818-1881), a Primitive Methodist from Yorkshire. He married Mary Brockman Miller in 1847 and they had six children. It was given to Stephen Clark in 1957.
A reimpression of the edition by Lagrange, with some changes, including the abridged life of Moliere. It is printed with characters from Elzevir. Library Hub locates copies at Cambridge, Edinburgh and Oxford.
