Description
FREE domestic & international shipping with direct order. **Strassburg: [gedruckt bey Balthasar Beck, according to OCLC (the World Catalogue)], M. D. XLIIII [1544]. Tooled pigskin over boards. Page size 30 x 19 cm (11-3/4 x 7 in.). Pagination of leaves: [14], CCCXLIII, [32], CLXXXIII, [9] (a total of 582 leaves, therefore approximately 1164 pp.; 3-1/2 inches thick). This copy shows some surface wear on the cover; two pairs of clasps are missing. The first few signatures are a little loose but not in danger of separation. The rest of the book is very solid. The paper is browned, as to be expected, with some foxing and various nicks and repairs to the edges of pages; there is a light waterstain in the bottom margin of the final six leaves of the index. In general, a fine copy. Fully collated and complete. There are four old edge repairs, none affecting text. Twenty-four leaves in the second large section and eight in the final index have very minor worming in the top margins, not affecting text. Twenty-three other pages have nicks or small tears in the edges, again not affecting text. The World Catalogue locates seven copies of this very rare book -- four in Germany, two in Switzerland, and one in Slovenia.
