Quintus Curtius.
Florence: Philippi Iuntae, 1507 The hinges are cracking and titles are worn away. Most significantly, a page appears to have been removed between the Contents page and the beginning of the text. No title page as such, just a half title to front and colophon to rear. Published December 1507. Some marks to the early pages, the book is in exceptional condition internally and at more than 500 years it looks better than some 10 year old books I handle. Books I and II of Alexander's History are lost so includes Books III to X. This has not stopped someone trying to make III into I on about 8 pages. Unpaginated.. Vellum. Good. 16mo - over 5!" - 6!" tall.
