Henricus Stephanus - Varii Historiae Romanae Scriptores - 1568

“Varii Historiae Romanae Scriptores, partim Graeci, partim Latini, in unum velut corpus redacti”, 1st and 4th volumes, 1568.

Two volumes for sale, on various historians of Roman history. Both volumes are each bound in a very handsome contemporary binding.

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

Both bindings are very well preserved, they are lightly rubbed and there are a few spots and worm traces.

Volume 1 shows almost consistently light to occasionally more noticeable margin spots. Further back the condition deteriorates a bit; at the end there are some worm traces as well.

The pages of Volume 4 are age-browned and there are some margin and corner spots. Further back there are a few worm traces and additional spots.

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

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

Dimensions: 19 x 12.5 cm
