Summary "Bibliographie Cornélienne" by Émile Picot is a bibliographic work written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to the various editions of the works of the celebrated French playwright Pierre Corneille, including imitations, translations, and related works. Its aim is to provide collectors and literary critics with detailed descriptions of every edition published during Corneille's lifetime and subsequent works concerning him. The opening portion of the text introduces the concept of bibliographies as valuable resources for collectors, highlighting the importance of original editions of classical authors like Corneille. It discusses the growing interest in these editions among bibliophiles, which has led to the compilation of special bibliographies to assist in collection-building. Additionally, Picot outlines the meticulous approach taken in the book, emphasizing the inclusion of historical notes regarding each work and the distinction between authentic publications and later reprints or forgeries. This opening establishes a framework for understanding Corneille's literary significance and the meticulous detail that follows in the bibliographic inquiries.
