-------------------
Three works bound together into one very large folio in a very attractive contemporary full vellum binding.
-------------------
Size: 233 x 355 mm (approx.)
Condition:
Contemporary full vellum binding, the title written in an early hand to the head of the spine, with a tooled red morocco label laid down to the compartment below that, possibly slightly later. Boards decorated in blind in a central pattern. Both boards are securely attached, the binding is secure, and stands without shelf lean. The boards tend to bow outwards as often with early 17th century vellum folios, especially ones as thick as this book. Without any attached bookplates or ownership inscriptions, though with an old ink inscription to the rear pastedown. Text block mildly toned else generally very clean throughout. Some minor dampstaining in the outer blank marginal space of a few consecutive leaves towards the centre of the page block, light, largely imperceptible, and not affecting the text. Uncollated but appears to be complete, inclusive of original blanks.
