Cervantes, Miguel de (1547-1616) Galatea Divida en Seys Libros.
Paris: Gilles Robinot, 1611.
First edition printed in France, and the first printed outside of the Iberian peninsula; octavo, woodcut printer's device to title page, bound in neat 18th century parchment over boards, very nicely preserved, contents fresh with a few rust holes and some faint marginal toning; ex libris Sir William Beauchamp Proctor (1722-1773), with his armorial bookplate pasted inside front board; the final leaf is blank, integral, & present (Gg7), lacking the presumed blank leaf Gg8; 6 1/4 x 4 in.
This represents the third edition of the Galatea overall. It was printed first in Alcala in 1585. The text here was derived from the second edition printed in Lisbon in 1590.
