AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Tenth edition of the monumental Universal History written by Cesare Cantù between 1838 and 1846.
Repeatedly revised and corrected, this history of humanity is presented in the 12-volume version, to which almost two more are added: 2 Documents dedicated to Archaeology and the Fine Arts, complete with a chronology and with a rich iconographic apparatus of over 60 plates and engravings beyond the text, plus additional folding plates.
In this lot, unfortunately, Volume 15 of the Indices is missing.
Volumes in octavo, bound in half-leather, with raised bands on the spine and gilt lettering.
Slight signs of wear at the edges of the covers and sturdy bindings, pages in very good condition with rare foxing.
