564. [LICENSED and HIDDEN BOOK] - Le Tombeau des amours de Louis Le Grand, & ses dernières galanteries. A Cologne, chez Pierre Marteau, 1695, in-16, 171 pp, engraved title-frontispiece, paperback, set in a hollowed-out binding. The Great King's feminine conquests are the somewhat irreverent theme of this work. Irreverent to the point that its owner wished for a hollowed-out binding with room for the small book. The book chosen is a volume from the Bibliothèque portative des pères de l'église, underlining that its owner was as irreverent as the book itself. The binding is tan basane, with an ornate spine and arms on the front cover.
