Opera omnia, recensuit Filon. Paris, A. Mesnier [typis ab Henrico Didot; excudebat Didot natu minor], 1828. In-64 (72 x 43 mm), VIII and 229 pp.: green velvet, gilt metal clasps bearing the date of the engraved edition, smooth spine with the title engraved on a gilt metal ornament, ivory lining and endpapers, gilt edges, folder and slipcase of green moiré paper (contemporary binding). Remarkable minuscule edition printed with the microscopic characters of Henri Didot, melted using the polyamatic foundry process developed by him in 1816. The printing of this volume is a typographical feat. A delightful copy in a velvet binding of an uncommon size, with a clasp and gilt metal title piece.
