Description from the seller
"Wholesome Mix-Mash. That is: all kinds of strange and wondrous stories, with many concepts and moral lessons interwoven, as well as mingled with copperplates," Abraham a Sancta Clara 1704.
With 50 half-page copper engravings.
For sale is a rare work on the curiosities, manners and everyday life of the Baroque. Abraham a Sancta Clara combines extraordinary stories and surprising events with satirical wit, sharp social critique and moral lessons.
Overall the pages are in good condition. Pages 285-292 are heavily brown-spotted. There are some stains in the margins and a light age-related browning, for the most part the pages are well preserved and clean. Without the frontispiece.
The binding shows a few worm trails, especially on the front cover and the spine. The binding is also somewhat loosened, but overall still firm.
Collation: 6 leaves, 538 pages, 4 leaves
Dimensions: 20 x 17.5 cm
