About This Item
Paris: Chez La Veuve Estienne & Fils, 1748. In French. Ten of thirteen volumes, including volumes 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 13 (volumes 1, 3 and 11 absent). Three folding plates. Full mottled French calf, dual spine labels, raised spine bands, gilt decorated compartments, marbled edges and endpapers. Most likely original, or at least contemporary, bindings. Expected external wear including quite a bit of rubbing to the extremities, all lower spine labels absent, three upper spine labels absent, some rubbing and light chipping to the joints but all joints secure and text blocks sound, no loosened pages. Pages clean with almost no foxing, no names or other markings. Some pastedowns have lifted from the covers, readily repairable, but nicely showing the some of the early vellum manuscript fragments used in the binding process. Volumes 7 and 12 have some light-colored dampstains throughout most of the contents. A worn but attractive set, internally near very good.. Hard Cover. Good. 16mo (16.5 cm tall).
