First edition of this unusual and most appealing work comprising poems, songs, and musical compositions, and including the lengthy poem relating to hunting, "Diane, ou les loix de la chasse du cerf". Thiébaud comments that not only the illustrations adds to the value, but also the musical scores, since it is the first time that hunting fanfares are printed, among them the famous ones by Marc-Antoine de Dampierre. The engravings are by Le Bas after Oudry and include both the allegorical frontispiece, together with more down to earth images of deer hooves and droppings. The work also includes a chronological catalogue of operas presented in France since 1645 (pp.125-146). Jean de Serre des Rieux (1668-1747) was a French poet and wrote several scores which were set to music by the composer Jean-Baptiste Morin. Seller Inventory # 47039B
