Paris: G. Hartman, [1886?]. Likely the first edition of the score for voice and piano, this copy inscribed by Massenet to Madame [Caroline] Miolan-Carvalho on the half-title, with a four-bar musical quotation (with libretto) from the duet Serment d'amour, promesse éternelle from the last scene of the opera, signed and dated January 1886 (the opera was first performed November 30 of the year previous). Period three-quarters decorative cloth, marbled sides, endpapers and edges (probably a presentation binding). 14 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches (36.5 x 26.5 cm); [10], 355, [1] pp. (plate 1571). Light binding wear, overall attractive. The great coloratura soprano Miolan-Carvalho, a longtime friend of Massenet's, was prima donna at the Théâtre Lyrique from 1856 to 1867. She retired from performance in 1885 to teach voice. •
