BOAISTUAU (Pierre). The History of Chelidonius Tigurinus, on the Institution of Christian Princes & Origin of Kingdoms. Antwerp, Jacques Monnotz, 1570. 16 pages, old soft vellum with covers, title in ink on the edges (modern binding). One of the many reprints of this work first published in 1556 in which the author, a Breton storyteller and compiler, offers a singular reflection on the art of governing during the Renaissance. Manuscript bookplate dated 1576 on a flyleaf and on the title, the signature of the owner partly scratched on the latter and causing a small paper perforation. Staining and foxing to the Z and Aa quires. Paper cut in the lower margin of the title page, not serious.
