Jerusalem, 1766. It is, it seems, a copy of the Bérage (which Wolfstieg also attributes to Karl Friedrich Köppen, while, according to M. Le Forestier, it would have been only the editor) adapted. Numerous handwritten pages added. This document deserves a thorough study in order to determine whether the work prepared in this way was edited. At first glance, it is a copy of Le Bérage adapted from Guillemain's collection published a year earlier. 2 plates t., XVI-149-[2]-1 bl., handwritten additions in the margins, 16 handwritten pages added between p. 96 and 97 (3rd grade) and 16 handwritten pages between p. 128 and 129 One vol. in-12 bound in contemporary brown calf, smooth decorated spine, title page (traces of wear). A good copy.
