Description:
TWO VOLUMES BOUND AS ONE, TEXT IN LATIN, octavo, half leather bound marbled boards, gilt lettering to title plate & raised bands with gilt decorative rule to spine, top page egdes speckled blue, marbled eps, deckled page edges, plates, lv + 394pp, possibly self-made but charming volume barrier pages, VG+ (light scuffing to spine & board edges, light chafing to boards, light tanning to page edges, owner's name & stamp in ink to prelims, light sporadic foxing to pages throughout, occassional annotation in pencil to margins of text) this book has a most wonderful aroma, almost like honey or antique beeswax, possibly from the potentially homemade pages that separate the two volumes that make up this book.
