Sobre este artículo
London: Kegan Paul, Trench and Co. (Chiswick Press), 1888. Original Cloth. Very Good +. 5 1/4 x 7 1/2 inches. lxxxv +259 pages. Front cover with two bookplates, one of Wilhem[us] Cooke and the other redacted/obscured in black ink. Endpapers lightly foxed and toned, but pages otherwise bright and clean and free from marking, soiling or staining. Title page in red and black, and pages well printed with wide margins. Frontispiece of seal present with protective tissue. Top edge gilt, other edges uncut. Bound in (near?) contemporary waxed cloth with gilt tile to front cover and gilt title, author and publisher to spine. Spine a little sunbleached and very light rubbing to extremities. A spectacular copy of this reprinting on de Bury's work on the love of books and book collecting in Latin with English translation. It also contains biographical and historical materials. A scarce work about an even rarer work (selling for six figures when available on the market). A must for any serious bibliophile. A very good example of this scarce work.
