It was bought for 3025 francs, exclusive of commissions, for the Bibliothèque Impériale (in December, 1860). It is a superb copy, still in its original binding. M. Brunet mentions two other copies: (1) That of Baron de Heiss, the cuts in which were coloured, and which brought only 60 francs in 1785. It was the same copy, apparently, which was sold for 13 pounds at the sale of Richard Heber. (2) The McCarthy copy, extra illustrated with 19 lovely miniatures from an old manuscript, has brought 450 francs.
