Henricus Stephanus - Varii Historiae Romanae Scriptores - 1568

“Various Historians of Roman History, partly Greek, partly Latin, gathered into one body,” 1st and 4th volumes, 1568.

For sale are 2 volumes, on various historians of Roman history. Both volumes are each bound in a very beautiful contemporary binding.

For Volume 4, one of the clasps is only half present. Volume 1 still has both clasps, one closes without problems. The other requires some force to close and open, but it is possible.

Both bindings are very nicely preserved, they are slightly worn and there are a few spots and worm tracks.

Volume 1 mostly shows light to somewhat more noticeable margin spots along the edges. Further back, the condition worsens a bit, and at the end there are some worm tracks.
The pages of Volume 4 are aged and browned; there are some margin and corner spots. Further back there are a few worm tracks as well as additional stains.

Collation:
Volume 1:
80 leaves, 2 blank leaves, 832 pages

Volume 4:
639 pages (pages 1409–2048), 106 leaves, 68 pages
