RACINE, Jean. Alexandre le Grand.
Tragedy. Paris, Pierre Trabouillet, 1666. In-12 (144 x 88 mm) of 12 ff.n.ch., 84 pp. (=72); modern vellum. Tchemerzine-Scheler, V, 337; Guibert, 21:1. Original edition of one of Racine's rarest pieces. The privilege was shared between Trabouillet and Girard. The pagination jumps from page 60 to page 73 without missing. The play was first staged by Molière's troupe in 1665, then performed by the rival actors of the Hôtel de Bourgogne: it was the occasion for the rupture between Racine and Molière. Spots and wetness marks, lower margin of the first 3 leaves restored.
