Catawiki’s goal is to make special objects universally available. Our weekly auctions feature thousands of unusual, rare, and exceptional objects you won’t find in just any store. I propose the complete edition in eight volumes of 1738, revised and corrected from the original text, of the work "La mythologie et les fables expliquées par l'histoire", edited by Abbot Banier, member of the Academy of Arts and Fine Letters of France. Original texts in French, total pages 3892; each volume is bound and has gold friezes on the spine. The edition is to be considered preserved in good condition, although it has traces of stains on the pages that do not affect the reading quality, as well as small fragments missing in the binding due to the time elapsed since printing. Each volume includes the index of the subjects covered. Specifically, each volume consists of:
volume I : 24 pp. unnumbered, p. 567
volume II : 8 pp. unnumbered, p. 443
volume III : 8 pp. unnumbered, p. 471
volume IV : 6 pp. unnumbered, p. 503
volume V : 8 pp. unnumbered, p. 581
volume VI : 8 pp. unnumbered, p. 472
volume VII : 6 pp. unnumbered, p. 476
volume VIII : 6 pages. unnumbered, p. 379 67441635
