DIDEROT Denis] Les Bijoux indiscrets. In Monomotapa, no date (1748). 2 vols. in-12 contemporary basane, smooth spine decorated, speckled edges, two gilt fillets on the boards (paper a little browned). Probably a counterfeit of the original edition. It is illustrated with a frontispiece and 6 figures outside the text. A libertine novel, the first novelistic work of Diderot. Louis XV, in the guise of Sultan Mangogul of the Congo, receives from the genie Cucufa a magic ring which has the power to make women's genitals ("jewels") speak. Diderot considered his work as a youthful silliness.
