A single-volume edition of the works of François Rabelais —Gargantua, the four books of Pantagruel and the Fifth Book—, with modernized spelling and punctuation. Louis Barré revises the text against the best witnesses (Le Duchat, S. de L'Aulnaye, P. L. Jacob) and accompanies it with a biographical and literary notice on Rabelais, concise footnotes, a glossary of Rabelais's language and a "supposed key to the allegories" of Gargantua and Pantagruel. It includes several fragments and two chapters of the Fifth Book restored from a manuscript in the Bibliothèque Impériale.

A one-volume Garnier Frères edition, prepared by Louis Barré, of the Rabelaisian corpus with notice, notes and glossary. Undated on the title page; the imprint of Édouard Blot (rue Bleue, 7) and Garnier's address place it around 1875. Half-leather binding with raised bands, a green label and marbled boards. From the library of Alfred Gallart i Genís.
