= Oppermann 1118; Massmann, p.108,29; Langlois I, p.340,31; Douce, p.60,26; Reichelt 96; Nisard, Histoire des livres populaires II, p.303ff; Fairfax Murray 108. All bibliographies except for Reichelt giving 1728 as date of publication, thus following the printed privilege on the last page. But the second line of this privilege reads that the privilege was given to Pierre Garnier, who died in 1738, while Jean-Antoine Garnier was active between 1766 and 1777 (information from Corrard de Breban, Recherches sur l'établissement et l'exercice de l'imprimerie à Troyes, Paris, 1873, 4th ed., p.73-74). "Der Danse Macabre, den Guy Marchant 1485 in Paris druckte, wurde eines der volkstümlichsten Bücher Frankreichs und erfuhr durch Drucker in der Provinz immer wieder Neuauflagen mit irgendwelchen Veränderungen. In Troyes war es besonders, neben den le Rouge und Oudot, die Druckerfamilie Garnier, die Jahrhunderte hindurch das Privilegium für den Druck franzözischer Volksbücher besass, welche auf Jahrmärkten und durch Kolporteure unter das Volk gebracht wurden. In ihrem Besitz befanden sich bis in das XIX. Jahrhundert hinein hunderte von Originaldruckstöcken des 15. Jahrhunderts aus den Werkstätten Verards, Marchants, Treperels etc. In der vorliegenden Ausgabe sind alle möglichen Holzschnitten von früher oder später durcheinandergebracht, so dass es unmöglich ist, ihre Herkunft zu erforschen. (...) Auch die Garnier'schen Ausgaben gehören zu den grossen Seltenheiten, da bei dem schnellen Verbrauch der Volksbücher nur wenige Exemplare der Vernichtung entgingen." (Oppermann 1118). This is the copy that we sold in our rooms in auction 33 of 2000, which was printed from changed type compared to the known Troyes ed. of ±1770: i.a. one small woodcut on page 70 replaced by letterpress text, a completely different woodcut on page 26 and changed quire signatures.
