Despite its secretive and magical appearance, it possesses an intrinsic universal language that will surely \"speak\" to our grandchildren just as it did to our great-grandparents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eRegarding the editions titled \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"52\" data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eLe Véritable Dragon Rouge\u003c\/i\u003e dated \"MDXXI\" (1521) from the publishers Blocquel, Goupy, and Delarue: these were actually printed between 1860 and 1923. Seven versions have been identified by Frederick Coxe. They differ in content and publisher’s imprints. For instance, the Blocquel edition (c. 1860) bears the mention \"Lille Imprimerie de Blocquel.\" Certain editions after 1866, like the present copy, feature a publisher's \"code\" on the last page. The final 1923 edition bears no mention of publisher or code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eDuodecimo (163 x 103 mm)\u003c\/b\u003e; \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"26\" data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003ehalf-leather\u003c\/b\u003e binding, spine with \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"59\" data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003efive raised bands\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"81\" data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003egilt fleurons\u003c\/b\u003e in the compartments.
