"Juxta exemplar Will. Stansbeii pro Richardo Meighen" [i. e., Amsterdam: Elzevier] London 1636 Contemporary vellum 8vo . FIRST ELZEVIER EDITION of the "classic defense for the extreme position that states could legitimately claim and exercise extensive sovereignty over the high seas" (Oxford DNB). "The political significance of Selden’s work was instantly recognized both at home and abroad . . . . [Apart] from its extreme doctrines as to the sovereignty of England in the seas, it more correctly represented what are now the admitted principles as to the appropriation of the adjacent sea than did most of the works written on the other side, not excepting even those of Grotius" (Fulton, Sovereignty of the sea pp. 368–70). The work first appeared the previous year in London followed by this octavo Elzevir edition and two other continental editions in quarto with the same date. Appended to the work is the Apologia pro navigationibus Hollandorum by Marcus Zuerius Boxhorn (1612-1653). The work appears in the Americana bibliographies because of its references to America and Greenland. The text is mostly in Latin but there are several lengthy sections in English (printed in gothic type) [24], 504; 61 pp. with last blank leaf. Title in red and black; 5 woodcut text illustrations (2 full-page including a woodcut map) and 2 full-page engraved maps. Some passages in English, Arabic, Greek, and Hebrew.

|
[Nicolaes van Ravesteyn] [ca 1636], [Amsterdam] - Contemporary vellum over boards (some soiling; minor cracking to front hinge but very sound) 4to . FIRST DUTCH EDITION of "Von dem dreifachen Leben des Menschen" dealing with the will and soul which is considered one of Jakob Böhme's major works (cf. New Schaff-Herzog, II, p. 210). The German edition first appeared in 1620. An important and rare edition of this work by the famous German mystic, Jakob Böhme (1575-1624), who lived as a master shoemaker while writing about his visions and spiritual revelations. Later in life he published a series of mystical works which had a great influence on later writers on free will, the human soul and division of mind and body. His influece on later English visionary writers is especially noteworthy. The present work, whose uniform Dutch title is "Hooge ende diepe Gronden van't drievoudigh leven des Menschen", was published without an imprint but Buddecke suggests that the work was printed in 1636 at Amsterdam by Nicolaes Ravesteyn. The OCLC locates only a copy at Yale and the present copy (Crozier-Colgate Library) in the United States and four additional copies in the Netherlands [8], 424 pp. With engraved title-page by S. Savery after P.v. Bon. Full-page woodcut diagram in text. Book plate of Crozer Theological Seminary (at Colgate: deaccessioned). Several gift inscriptions from the Wetherill family on front paste-down. Some light dampstains, minor handsoiling and foxing. § Buddecke 2, 17. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

" STC: S21707 ** Robert Sanderson 1587–1663, English clergyman. Gaining William Laud's favor, he was appointed a royal chaplain in 1631 and regius professor of divinity at Oxford in 1642. Imprisoned during the civil war, he was reinstated to his professorship and named bishop of Lincoln in 1660. The second preface of the Anglican prayer book and the General Thanksgiving are attributed to him. His published writings include Logicae artis compendium (1618) and De obligatione conscientiae praelectiones decem (1660). Robert Sanderson, who lived to become a bishop at the restoration, and is embalmed in the exquisite prose of Izaak Walton, was another of the Elizabethans who made the church of England notable for its preaching power. The famous saying of Charles I is, perhaps, his chief title to distinction: "I carry my ears to hear other preachers, but I carry my conscience to hear Dr. Sanderson; "

Mitelli, Agostino
All'Ill. Sig. Francesco Maria Zambeccari Come a Suo Singolar. Mo Padrone Agostino Mitelli D.D.D.
|
Bologna (Ag. o Parisini For, 1636. 24 unnumbered etched plates, loose as issued, printed on buff-colored paper (watermarked with a paschal lamb in a circle surmounted by the initial A). 250 x 170 mm. (ca. 9 7/8 x 6 5/8 inches). Sm. 4to. Portfolio (modern gilt boards, 1/4 red morocco). This untitled suite of exuberant, often fantastical, decorative cartouches and other ornaments is one of four sets of prints by Agostino Mitelli (1606-1660), the renowned Bolognese quadratura painter, father of Giuseppe Maria Mitelli. Dated 1636, dedicated to Count Zambeccari, and printed and/or published by Agostino Parisini, it is known in several editions or issues. In one, the title-page was reworked with the ?inscription Rousel exc. ?; in another, with the name of Giovan Batista Paganelli, D.D. and a new dedication to Francesco Bandini. In the present copy, as in the set in the Victoria and Albert, one plate was reworked as a title-page in honor of the marriage of the Duke Paolo Spinola to the Princes Anna Colonna, and bears the date Perugia 1653; the arms of the two families are engraved on the tilted cartouches at top. The title-page also carries the credit, in the architrave below the dedication, ?Gio. Jacomo Rossi formis Romae alla Pace, all insegna di Parigi. ? The watermark is not in Briquet. Intermittent foxing and occasional light soiling; one plate with a clean tear at one corner, with old mend; a few light touches in pencil; nice impressions.

His Institutio Oratoria covers the training of an orator from infancy to manhood, and was highly influential upon the writers of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, especially Erasmus, Vives, Ben Jonson, and Pope. Numbered among Quintilian's personal students were the likes of Domitian's two great-nephews and Pliny the Younger. #11;Pierre Pithou (1539-1596), a native of Troyes, lawyer and scholar.

BENTIVOGLIO, Guido (Ferrara 1577 - Roma 1644)
Raccolta di Lettere scritte dal Cardinal Bentivoglio In tempo delle sue Nuntiature di Fiandra, e di Francia.

1636., In Venezia, 1636 - Appresso Marco Ginammi, Pergamena originale, bei titoli manoscritti al dorso, forellino al dorso, grande marca tipografica della Speranza incisa al frontespizio (donna che poggia gomito su un’ancora entro cartiglio figurato e motto "In Deo est Spes mea"), 4°(cm.22,2x16), pagg.(8)-237-(3), 4 grandi iniziali silografiche, tenue gora al margine superiore e, alle sole prime carte, a quello inferiore, qualche arrossamento della carta e 3/4 irrilevanti micro-forellini al margine interno bianco, ma buona copia. Pregiata edizione dedicata a Luigi Mocenigo, arcivescovo di Candia. La corrispondenza del cardinal Bentivoglio, uno dei più abili nunzi apostolici presso le corti d’ Europa durante la Contro-Riforma e Cameriere segreto di Clemente VIII, rivela appieno la sua abilità di fine letterato, storico e diplomatico. Sono indirizzate ai maggiori principi d’Europa e a personaggi influenti dell’epoca (Agostino Pallavicino, cavalier Marini, G. Barclay, cardinal Borghese, Borgia, d’Este, Gonzaga, Ludovisi, de’ Medici, Spinola, Ubaldini.) su argomenti non solo politici. Le lettere al duca di Monteleone, ambasciatore di Spagna a Parigi, ne chiariscono il ruolo diplomatico alla corte di Luigi XIII, mentre le missive ai cortigiani del tempo celano godevolissime descizioni di viaggio nei suoi trasferimenti attraverso le Alpi, il passaggio in Svizzera e Germania, il ritorno a Roma, e giudizi sull’arte.

JANSSONIUS, Johannes
Nova Anglia Novum Belgium et Virginia
|
Amsterdam: , 1636. 380 x 500 mm., in good early outline colour, good condition. Burden states "This influential map is derived from the less well circulated Johannes de Laet of 1630. Enlarged, and expanded to the north and east slightly, it carries de Laet's narrative on the reverse. De Laet's map is one of extreme importance, being the first printed to use the names Manbattes (Manhattan) and N. Amsterdam. The nomenclature is also virtually identical, with the few minor differences most likely owing to engraver's error. C. of Feare is still depicted over 2o too far south. This is not the Cape Fear we know of today but actually Cape Lookout. During the fiercely competitive decade of the 1630s the families of Blaeu and Hondius-Janssonius often produced maps drawn directly from one another. Here, however, Janssonius produces one that was not followed by Blaeu, the latter relying upon the more restricted map of "NOVA BELGICA" to represent the land north of Chesapeake Bay. A sign of the Dutch influence here is that both atlas producers largely declined to include the advanced cartography of Champlain, thereby relegating it altogether. Here Janssonius differs from Hondius' "AMERICA SEPTENTRIONALIS" in his delineation of the Great Lakes area. The extension northwards enables him to encapsulate Grand Lac, something de Laet did not do. Although Karpinski claims this to be the first map to show a complete Lake Superior, there is no evidence to suggest that this lake was meant, it more likely represents Lake Huron" (Burden). This is an example of the first of three known states of the map. An examination of the text on the verso shows that this is from the first French edition of 1639. Burden 247, state 1; Cumming, W.P. (SE) no. 39; Van der Krogt, P. (Atlantes) 9310:1A.1; McCorkle New England 636.2; Stokes (1915) vol. 2, pp. 144-5 & 152-3.

Extremely rare set of typographical specimens from the printing office of the Congregation de propaganda fide, COLLECTION of 12 exotic alphabets.
|
Congregation de Propaganda Fide, ca. 1636-40., Rome, Vatican, - Oblong 8vo (110x170mm). Contemporary plain vellum. All pages within double woodcut border lines. 12 lvs. (Collation: A-C4). Extremely rare original and complete set, published without a title-page, of a collection of 12 very interesting type specimens, printed at the Printing Office of the Congregation de Propaganda Fide at the Vatican. The collection drew on earlier Roman publications of a similar vein: it reprised for example material from Angelo Rocca's Variarum linguarum alphabeta et inventores (Rome 1595), Giacomo Bonaventure Scozese's Virga aurea (Rome 1616), and Athenasius Kircher' Prodromus Copticus sive Aegyptiacus (1636). The famous Jesuit Athenasius Kircher devoted half of his eighth chapter of his Prodromus - ostensibly concerned with the usefulness of Coptic - to an enigmatic inscription that had been discovered by Thomaso Obicini at the foot of Mt. Horeb in the Sinai. Although it did not pertain to Coptic or anything Egyptian, Kircher announced that he would be remiss not to discuss it. Kircher described how he brought to bear his philological expertise by trying to match the inscription's characters with three oriental languages, Hebrew, Samaritan, and Syriac. According to Kircher the inscription was written in a form of ancient Chaldean. It concerns our nr. 8.In the collection are three alphabets of Adam, the first from the Vatican Library, the second by Giacomo Bonaventura Scozese, the third by Lorenzo Schrader; 4 Hebrew alphabets, the first 'detto soprasilvio', the second 'detto testo', the third designed by Garamond and the fourth Rabbinic by Garamond, the above mentioned script discovered by Tomaso da Novara at the foot of Mont Horeb, an analysis of the same by Athanasius Kircher, Samaritan and Estrangelo alphabets, and a Chaldean alphabet. Established in 1626 for the propaganda of the Catholic faith among the Eastern peoples, the 'Propaganda fide', has published many texts in exotic, oriental alphabets. This publication shows the different types the printing office could use:(1) Alfabeto del protoparente Adamo I. delineato nella libraria Vaticana.(2) Alfabeto II. di Adamo secondo che riferisce il P. Giacomo Bonavent. Scozese dell'Ordine di S. Francesco di Paolo nel suo alfabetario intitolato Virga Aurea.(3) Alfabeto III. di Adamo cavato dal libro di Lorenzo Schradero stampato in Helmstatt l'anno 1592.(4) Alfabeto Hebreo detto soprasilvio.(5) Alfabeto Hebreo detto testo.(6) Alfabeto Hebreo detto Garamone.(7) Alfabeto Hebreo Rabbinico detto Garamone.(8) Lettere cavata dal P. Tomaso da Navara che si trovano sculpite in una pietra piccola posta à piedi del monte Oreb, dove Dio N.S. diede la legge.(9) Analysi dell'antecedente carattere, conforme alla dispositione del P. Atanasio Kircher nel prodromo Copto, approvata da'molti.(10) Alfabeto Samaritano, detto testo.(11) Alfabeto estranghelo, overo Chaldeo antico, detto testo.(12) Alfabeto Chaldeo, overo Siro detto, di due righe di Silvio.

Paris Antoine Vitray 1636 - In-4 de 2 ff.n.ch., 54 pp.ch., 1 f.n.ch. ; basane fauve marbrée, dos à nerfs orné de fleurons, roulette sur les coupes, tranches rouges (reliure de l'époque). Birrell & Garnett, 34 : "Extremely scarce". Édition originale, très rare. Précieux recueil de spécimens typographiques orientaux publié par Antoine Vitray, ou Vitré (v. 1600-1674), l'imprimeur de la célèbre Bible polyglotte projetée par Savary de Brèves et réalisée par Le Jay (1588-1674), à qui l'ouvrage est dédié. Les huit dernières pages, consacrées à l'alphabet arménien, s'achèvent par un Pater noster dans cette langue, avec transcription phonétique et traduction latine. Fils d'imprimeur, Vitray avait racheté en 1620 l'atelier et le matériel de Jacques Duclou. Nommé en 1622 Imprimeur du Roi pour les langues orientales, il succéda en 1635 à Antoine Estienne au poste d'imprimeur du clergé. "He was using the Oriental Characters of Savary de Brèves. as early as 1625. In 1632 after de Brèves' death his heirs were about to sell his types, when Louis XIII ordered Vitray to buy them, and to add Armenian and Ethiopian. Vitray employed Jacques de Sanlecque to cut the punches and strike the matrices for the Armenian type and eventually paid him 160 livres for it. The king never paid for the types, and various proceedings against Vitray on behalf of the heirs of de Brèves were suppressed. The types after being used in the famous Paris Polyglott were finally handed over to the Imprimerie Royale after Vitray's death in 1674" (G. Pollard). Petites restaurations à la reliure, pièce de titre renouvelée. Cachet armorié à froid au dernier feuillet, ex-libris gravé de la North Library (1860). [Attributes: Hard Cover]

HONDIUS, Henricus
America Septentrionalis
|
Amsterdam: , 1636. 465 x 550 mm., a sharp black engraving. With no text to the verso. With some loss to margin upper centre not affecting the image, repaired. Margins trimmed close lower corners and lower centre, extended professionally. Otherwise a good example of a special example. An extremely rare possibly unknown example of the FIRST STATE with NO TEXT to the verso. Manasek in his "Collecting Old Maps" hypothesises on the origin of this map bearing in mind that the first state lacks any imprint. It has been presumed to be by Henricus Hondius but the existence of a facsimile bearing the date 1629, the year of Henricus' brother Jodocus' death, has caused speculation that there may yet be an earlier unknown state. Manasek claims that the cartouche bears "slight traces of a previous inscription that was burnished out." The presumption of assignment to Henricus Hondius relies on its first presence in the Latin edition of the "Atlas Novus" published by him. It is highly feasible that we so many plates in production at the time for the rapidly introduced work that this may be a separately published loose example dating from this period or slightly earlier. Indeed I have compared it with another first state example and it is a remarkably sharp impression with all the guide lines still visible. As is seen from below the map bears information dating to 1633 at the earliest.Burden states "Henricus Hondius' beautifully engraved map of North America had greater influence than any other to date in perpetuating the theory of California as an island. This was because it was disseminated through the medium of his powerful Dutch publishing house. None of the earlier California as an island maps had reached such a wide audience. The 1630s were a decade of constant development in the houses of Blaeu and Hondius. It is interesting to note that Blaeu never produced a single sheet map of North America; both Willem and Joan relied upon that of the whole continent first produced in 1617, throughout their publishing history. During this decade Joannes Janssonius became an active partner of Hondius, and although this map bears no imprint it is assigned to the latter on the basis that at the same time a map of South America appeared displaying his name. Cartographically this map is a careful composition of many different sources and illustrates well the current state of knowledge. The depiction and nomenclature of the west, along with that of the insular California, derive directly from the Henry Briggs "The North Part of AMERICA", 1625. A legend placed strategically over the north-west coastline offers the opportunity to discontinue a coastline least understood. An unnamed lake still feeds a "Rio del Norto" flowing incorrectly south-west into what should be the headwaters of the Gulf of California. On the east bank of this river is "Real de Nueua Mexico", or Santa Fe. The Gulf of Mexico and the Florida peninsula originate from the Hessel Gerritsz chart of c.1631. The east coast, however, is harder to define; the south-east appears to be quite generic in form. It is the area north of here that does not appear to be from a particular source. The Chesapeake Bay area is defined in about as much detail as the scale and style of the map will allow, "Iames Towne" being clearly identified. "NOVUM BELGIUM" is unlike any other before it, the area between the "Zuitt Reuier" (Delaware River) and the "Noort R" (Hudson River) being greatly elongated on a north-east to south-west axis. New Amsterdam is curiously not designated although "Fort Orange" is present. For New England just a select few names have been chosen from John Smith's map of the area, 1616. The Gulf of St. Lawrence appears to follow de Laet more than Champlain. The latter is used to depict a single great lake; however, its name, "Lac des Iroquois", is borrowed from one nearby. Interestingly the author chose not use Champlain's more recent 1632 map but the earlier 1612 "CARTE GEOGRAPHIQVE DE LA NOVVELLE FRANSE". To avoid unknown territory he does not venture the river system further west, unlike Champlain. Along the Atlantic coast of Labrador we find for the first time much Dutch nomenclature, reflecting their increased whaling activities in these waters. Hudson Bay is clearly derived from Briggs, 1625, except for the west coast where he introduces the cartography of Thomas James, 1633. The addition of a fox here could be seen as a veiled reference to Luke Foxe, whose own map of the previous year bears just such an animal. The map was one of many introduced in the late 1630s to be included in the rapidly developing "Atlas Novus". A fascinating example which covers an interesting story in the great period of Dutch mapmaking.

BECANO, Guilielmo. [Leaf]
Sereniss. Ferdinandi Cardinalis infantis Trivmphalis introitvs. In Flandriae metropolim Gandavvm, Auctore Guilielmo Becano, S.J
|
Antwerp:: Ioannis Mevrsi. 1636. hardcover. .. (380 x 295 mm) Torn right margin with loss, top cropped into semicircle. Engraved leaf, mounted. Engraved by Corneille Galle, after a painting by Peter Paul Rubens. . The image shows a classical warrior standing on top of a pedestal on which the titles are engraved; a host of celestial cherubs are descending from the clouds whilst the dead and dying enemies (Swedes) lie at his feet. The warrior is Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand (1609/1610) who defended the city at The Battle of Nordlingen, 1634, during the Thirty Years! War. The Catholic Imperial army, bolstered by 18,000 Spanish and Italian soldiers won a great victory in the battle over the combined Protestant armies of Sweden and their German allies (Bernadines), led by Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand. In 1636 Ferdinand disempowered the last Protestant priests in the Spanish Netherlands, and continued his military expansion by capturing Hirson, Le Catelet, and La Capelle, and securing Luxembourg using the usual mixed nationalities of a Modern Age Army that included then Croatian troops, and reaching as far a stronghold in France as Corbie, threatening Paris. Also known as Don Fernando de Austria and as Ferdinand von Osterreich, he was Governor of the Spanish Netherlands, Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, Infante of Spain, Archduke of Austria, Archbishop of Toledo (1619-41), and military commander during the Thirty Years! War.

[HYDE (Thomas)]
Catalogus Impressorum Librorum Bibliothecae Bodleianae in Academia Oxoniensi.
|
E Theatro Sheldoniano, Oxford. 1674. First Edition First Edition, folio, [xii],480,[2 blank],272,[2]pp., engraved vignette of Sheldonian Theatre on title-page, engraved headpieces and initial letters, the errata leaf covering both parts is present at the end, lacks the rear free endpaper, there are three superimposed bookplates on the front endpaper and a previous owner has added, in French, on the renewed front endpapers, a brief account of Bodley’s diplomatic career for la Reine Elizabeth, together with a listing of each of the personages represented on the vignette title decorations that head each of the letter sections, some light foxing on preliminary leaves, contemporary panelled vellum with blind-stamped arabesque centrepiece on covers, front joint cracked, cords intact, upper cover slightly warped. Hyde, 1636-1703, celebrated Orientalist and chief librarian of the Bodleian Library, produced in the present work the results of nine years’ scholarship. Hyde’s catalogue, the third of the Bodleian Library, was the most complete and informative catalogue of its time, a pioneer in form, which described the largest existing store of substantial books. The work, dived into two parts, is appropriately dedicated to Archbishop Selden, being printed in the Theatre which the Archbishop had recently built. The volume was of such general utility that the Convocation presented it to Cosimo de Medici, and in an interleaved copy was the only one in use at the Mazarine Library until as late at 1761. The handsome, impressive folio is a milestone in the history of library catalogues. Breslauer & Folter 69; Pollard & Ehrman 318; Wing 0864.

Birrell & Garnett, 34 : "Extremely scarce". Édition originale, très rare. Précieux recueil de spécimens typographiques orientaux publié par Antoine Vitray, ou Vitré (v. 1600-1674), l'imprimeur de la célèbre Bible polyglotte projetée par Savary de Brèves et réalisée par Le Jay (1588-1674), à qui l'ouvrage est dédié. Les huit dernières pages, consacrées à l'alphabet arménien, s'achèvent par un Pater noster dans cette langue, avec transcription phonétique et traduction latine. Fils d'imprimeur, Vitray avait racheté en 1620 l'atelier et le matériel de Jacques Duclou. Nommé en 1622 Imprimeur du Roi pour les langues orientales, il succéda en 1635 à Antoine Estienne au poste d'imprimeur du clergé. "He was using the Oriental Characters of Savary de Brèves. as early as 1625. In 1632 after de Brèves' death his heirs were about to sell his types, when Louis XIII ordered Vitray to buy them, and to add Armenian and Ethiopian. Vitray employed Jacques de Sanlecque to cut the punches and strike the matrices for the Armenian type and eventually paid him 160 livres for it. The king never paid for the types, and various proceedings against Vitray on behalf of the heirs of de Brèves were suppressed. The types after being used in the famous Paris Polyglott were finally handed over to the Imprimerie Royale after Vitray's death in 1674" (G. Pollard). Petites restaurations à la reliure, pièce de titre renouvelée. Cachet armorié à froid au dernier feuillet, ex-libris gravé de la North Library (1860). [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Atheismus triumphatus, seu contra antichristianismum &c. (cum Disputatione contra murmurantes . in bullas Sixti V et Urbani VIII adversus judiciarios .) - De gentilismo non retinendo. - De praedestinatione et reprobatione et auxiliis divinae gratiae Cento Thomisticus.
|
Paris, Dubray, 1636. - 3 parts in 1 vol. 4to. With engraved vignette on title. [12] leaves, 273 p.; [2] leaves, 63 p., [4] leaves, p. 65-344, [2] p. Contemporary vellum with flaps (small stain on front cover). Eines der wichtigsten Werke Campanellas, in dem seine Philosophie am klarsten zusammengefasst ist. Die Idee einer natürlichen, dem menschlichen Geist inherenten Religion sieht er nicht im Gegensatz zu den empirischen Gesetzen der Natur, sondern hält fest, dass die christliche Wahrheit und die Gesetze der Natur grundsätzlich übereinstimmen. Atheismus triumphatus, ein Traktat der praktischen Theologie, verfasst in den Jahren 1606-1607, erschien erstmals stark zensuriert 1631 in Rom und dann im vorliegenden Druck zusammen mit der Erstausgabe von De gentilismo non retinendo bzw. De praedestinatione et reprobatione, zwei kleinere Traktate, in welchen er sich u. a. explizit gegen die aristotelische Überlieferung stellt und für die empirische Naturforschung eintritt. Erst durch diese Pariser Ausgabe, mit ausdrücklichem Privileg des Königs - dem das Werk auch gewidmet ist - und der Approbation der Sorbonne erfuhr der Atheismus triumphatus seine wirkliche Verbreitung und Campanellas Philosophie Beachtung in der Gelehrtenwelt. - Bibliographische Notizen und Exzerpte auf dem fliegenden Vorsatz. - Papierbedingt, durchgehend gleichmässig vergilbt. Ein sehr gut erhaltenes Exemplar. Firpo S. 101, no. 10/2; Jöcher 3404; Volpi 259. First edition of this collective work with three tracts by Tommaso Campanella, best known for his utopian novel Città del Sole (1623). The first of the three works (Atheismus triumphatus) had been published heavily censored first at Rome in 1631. It is most important for Campanella's religious and philosophical beliefs. This second edition - although censored as well - attracted ibertines such as Gabriel Naudé and François de La Mothe le Vayer. Campanella was a disciple of the Greek sceptics, this school taught him that metaphysics is built on sand unless it rests on a theory of knowledge. In De gentilismo non retinendo Campanella criticizes a.o. Aristotle's philosophy of nature arguing that man has to discover nature by himself. His books were all placed on the Index after his death in 1639. - Ms. notes on first fly-leaf, first title lightly browned and dust-soiled, else a very good copy. - Contemporary vellum with flaps (small stain on front cover). la [Attributes: First Edition]
