An attractive copy, handsomely preserved despite being in a fragile contemporary paper binding, housed in a modern book box, of this monastic history of the Benedictines, specifically the monastery of Santa Giustina as well as a description of Padua.

Both boards securely attached, binding secure. A little discolouration, some ink stains to rear board, dust soiling. Front pastedown lifting slightly. Some staining to title page, minor worming at foot. First four leaves also with a small tear at the head, the first three of which have a small hole, mild staining, otherwise clean throughout. Text block ends at 2P5, so plausibly lacking a final leaf (blank, colophon, or printer's device); this copy is bound without blanks. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoodPaz Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56735610503492,"sku":"126PH","price":240.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/1725\/7028\/files\/s-l1600_eb95f14f-4ba7-4c25-836d-31f01c389289.jpg?v=1778332025","url":"https:\/\/woodpaz.com\/products\/patavinos-history-of-the-benedictines-1606-first-edition","provider":"WoodPaz Books Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
