Lacking the translator's dedication (6 leaves) at the start. Text in Latin and English. A little MS to title. Some light staining, tiny burn to pp.145-6 affecting a couple of letters, wax mark to p.201, last leaf toned and laid down. Later straight-grain Morocco with blind-tooled boards, rebacked with red and green spine labels. Spine has faded to a lighter colour, corners worn but still good.
