Aldine device to title page and colophon (frontispiece and colophon anciently reinforced, some marginal notes anciently covered by paper or with attempted removal, a few leaves browned). 18th century leather binding with gilt title and decoration to spine, speckled edges. Provenance: some old notes and underlining, some with 18th century erasures. (1)
