Breton, Robert.
Roberti Britanni Attrebatensis Orationes duae, Burdegalae quondam ab eodem habitae, altera de pace, altera de philosophia.
Ex officina Christiani Wecheli, Parisiis 1538 - Breton's speeches on peace and on philosophy are handsomely printed in italic type: That on peace begins with a woodcut initial showing three cherubs and that on philosophy begins with a criblÇ initial. The printer's Pegasus device appears on the title-page and on the final leaf. Rare: Searches of WorldCat and COPAC fail to locate any copies in libraries in the Anglo world. Small 8vo. [24] ff. Full dark modern calf old style, absolutely plain without labels; spine with raised bands accented with blind rules extending onto covers to terminate in trefoils, and simple blind double fillets to covers. One old numeral inked to title-page; text unmarked with paper clean and even bright, throughout.
