AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

16°, 4 unnumbered leaves + 328.
Beautiful engraved frontispiece, binding in 19th-century card stock with a printed cartouche on the spine.
This is a very rare counterfeit of this work printed by Elzevir in 1650, which, seeing its success, was reproduced by an anonymous printer in 1671 (Willems 1462).
Difficult to obtain and in these conditions.
