Antonio,

ou Les tourmens de l'amour et ses douces illusions dans un coeur sensible.

Description: FIRST EDITION, with an engraved frontispiece, a trifle browned in places, last 2 leaves with small fragments missing form fore-edge, pp. [iv], 287, 12mo, late 19th- or early 20th-century brown crushed morocco, spine lettered in gilt, monogram AC at foot, surmounted by a crown (of sorts), gilt edges, joints cracked and a little worn, but sound

Publication Details: Paris: Chez Favre, l'Auteur, Conort, 1797

Notes: Our author is not to be confused with the translator of the Thousand and One Nights nearly a century before. This is one of a small number of erotic tales he published between his release from prison (for writing against the Convention) and before he accompanied Napoleon on the expedition to Egypt. This is a rare book: 3 copies only in WorldCat, KVK adding only BnF and Augsburg.

Bibliography: (Barbier, Genre romanesque, 1751-1800, 97.25)
