The first volume contains Amours et nouveaux eschanges des pierres precieuses, the two days of La Bergerie and Apparences celestes d'Arat. The second volume contains a translation of Odes d'Anacréon et des petites inventions et autres poésies de Belleau, much expanded from the 1574 edition, as well as a comedy. Le Tombeau de Remy Belleau (6 f.), which closes this collection, is made up of Greek, Latin and French pieces by Dorat, Ronsard, Baïf, Desportes and others. The title page of the second volume reads: Les Odes d'Anacreon... traduictes en François par Remy Belleau. Avec quelques petites Hymnes de son invention, & autres diverses poesies: Ensemble une comédie. A very fine copy in a handsome binding by Niedrée.
