Paris: Santus, [1797]. A very rare sale catalogue; no copy in OCLC or the Grolier Club. We learn from the “Avertissement” on the verso of the title that the collection consisted of more than 5000 volumes and that Prieur was a very selective collector, choosing important editions in the best possible condition and bindings, oftentimes upgrading four or five times to acquire the finest copies with the most distinguished provenances. The catalogue was assembled in great haste and the catalogue consists of 83 large lots, oftentimes with more than 100 titles in a lot. Fine copy.
