LAJARTE, THEODORE DE - Bibliotheque musicale du Theatre de l'Opera: Catalogue Historique, Chronologique, Anecdotique

Paris: Jouaust/Librairie des Bibliophiles, 1876. Six volumes. A very scarce and extensive bibliography of opera from its beginnings in Paris (in 1671) to 1849. 529 items described, most at great length. Includes details about both manuscript and printed material, about performers, and about whether and when each opera was performed and the length of its run. Biographical notes at end of each volume. Each volume with an etched portrait by Le Rat. Volumes 1-3 are each one of 100 copies on Holland laid paper. Volumes 4-6 are printed on fine wove paper. Two further volumes were published, one covering 1849-1876 and the other an appendix. 8vo, uncut in original wraps (volumes 4-6 unopened as well). Wraps with some minor tears but still bright. Internally fine.
