About This Item
Mitriti: Apud Hilarium Santos, 1791. Red leather spine label. Spine floral designs in gilt. Old marbled endpapers. Title-page with illustration. All edges red. Spine extremities worn, as are corners. Writing in a very old hand on title-page with small area of brown spotting. (See photo). Text is quite clean, with occasional brown spots. 88 illustrations through the text, indexed at the conclusion. 324pp. + index. A rather elusive edition of Aesop's Fables, published in Madrid, text in Latin. Not listed in OCLC or APBC. We have seen a 1788 Madrid edition with same number of plates but a different publisher. This edition was mentioned in Blake's "Ninth Catalogue of Second-hand Books" on p.312. . Later Edition. Full Mottled Calf. General Moderate Wear/No Jacket. 5 1/2" x 3 1/2".
