Henricus Stephanus - Varii Historiae Romanae Scriptores - 1568

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

For sale: 2 volumes, about different 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 worn and there are a few small stains and worm traces.

Volume 1 shows nearly continuous light to occasionally somewhat more pronounced marginal stains. Further back the condition deteriorates somewhat, and at the end there are a few worm traces.
Volume 4’s pages are age-browned and there are some marginal and corner stains. Further back there are a few worm traces and additional stains.

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
