8vo, pp. [12], 222, [5]. Full mottled calf. With engraved frontispiece. Barrin [1640 1718], from the important Breton family Barrin de la Gallissonni�re, became vicar-general of the diocese of Nantes. He wrote/translated this work (that he later regretted) before becoming a priest. It was published in 1676 in Paris (and in the same year a selection of the Heroides at Rouen) and in 1692 in Lyon (Gay-L. I, 131). This edition of 1704 consists of 3 parts, with continuous pagination: the first division contains the 6 epistles (+ an epitaph and a mourning elegy); the 2nd division contains the well-known Amores and is divided into two parts (each with its own preface and half-title): Part 1 (pp. 85-152) contains 23 Amores and Part 2 (pp. 155 222) contains the remaining 21. With a nice engraved frontispiece by A.D. Blois after J. Verkolje and a catalogue of 3 pages announcing the books printed and to be had from Abraham de Hondt. Several authors (and libraries; Cf Barbier IV, 921; Graesse I, 298; Rose (Reg. Erotic Bks),1307; Buisman 92-94) suppose that Barrin is also the author of "V�nus dans le Clo�tre, ou la Religieuse en Chemise", published under the pseudonyme Abb� Du Prat in 1683 at "K�ln", but it seems more likely that that work was written by Fran�ois de Chavigny (de la Bretonni�re), a Benedictine who sought refuge in Holland and contributed to the "Nouvelles de la R�publique des Lettres". A charming work. Rare.
