Description:
|
This is a book printed at Paris in Gothick types, and contains 35 most curious and highly finished illuminations, descriptive of each dialogue between Death and the character whom he addresses. Colophon: Cy finist la da[n]ce macabre historiee et augumentee de plusieurs novueaux personnages et beaux dits & trois vifs ense[m]ble nouuellme[n]t ainsi co[m]posee et imprimee a Paris.
I conceive this book to have issued from the press of A. Verard [Gillet Couteau and Jean Menard, for Antoine Vérard]. Warton, in his Hist. of Eng. Poetry, speaking of the Dance of Death, appears to have been unacquainted with this publication of it in French.
