LE ROUX Philibert-Joseph Dictionnaire comique satyrique, critique, burlesque, libre et proverbial. Nouvelle edition revuë, corrigée & considerablement augmentée. Lyon, heirs of Beringos, 1735
8vo: contemporary vellum, dusty, paper uniformly lightly discoloured.
The much enlarged second edition of this dictionary of popular usage, slang and proverbs. The work was censured by later critics for including indecencies and low-life jargon; it remains a pioneer work in the field and invaluable for study of works in the vernacular from Rabelais onwards.
