Items [2] , [3] , and [7] are most probably first editions. Items [1] , [4] , printed by Boyer-Le Muet are most probably second imprints from the first editions. It is known that in 1784 Mad. Le Muet acquired Veniers' plates ( Krummel & Sadie - Music Printing and Publishing pp. 319). The collection must have been bound around 1787. Unfortunately we were unable to decipher the erased name of the first owner."
