5. DIDEROT (Denis). Jacques la [sic] fataliste et son maître. Paris, Buisson, year V [1796-1797]. 2 vol. in-8 2 vol. in-8 of [2] ff. (false-title and title), XXII pp, "A La Mémoire de Diderot", pp. 23-286, [1] bl. f. ; [2] ff. (false title and title), 320 pp, [2] bl. ff. Basane racine, spines gilt, title and greeves in red morocco, marbled edges (period binding). Paper defect with lack in the lower corner of page 133 (volume I). Some foxing. Binding a little rubbed. Considered by some bibliographers as the first printing of the original edition (with the error in the title of volume I), it is more likely according to Adams and Tchemerzine, that it is a counterfeit published the year of the original, printed on a poorer quality paper, with smaller characters. The pagination error in volume I (p. 257) has been corrected. Adams states: "These considerations lead us to conclude that this rare edition, while dating from the same period, is later than the original. (Adams, JF4; Tchemerzine, II, 965.)
