![- DIDEROT (Denis). Les Bijoux indiscrets. In Monomotapa [Paris], s.d., (1748), 2 volumes in one in-12, [4] ff. n. ch. (title with engraved vignette, in Zima, table of chapters), 288 pp. ; [2] ff. n. ch. (title with engraved vignette, table of chapters), 332 pp. ; with 6 engraved plates, lacking the frontispiece in volume I, half tan basane, smooth spine decorated with gilt fillets and garlands, spotted tr. 19th century binding.
One of the rare forgeries of the original edition. It differs from the one described by Tchermerzine on two points: 1. the plates do not have the legend Les Bijoux. - 2. the title vignette of volume II is different, which represents a cartouche with the inscription Sunt similia tuis, instead of the winged love coming out of its boudoir and flying to the right.
