M. Valerii Martialis Epigrammata - Zweibrücken, Societas Bipontina, 1784 - 2 volumes - (XL) 283; 324 pp in red half-leather bindings with gilt edging on the boards

Good overall. Ex libris on the flyleaf, blemishes on the front page of the first part. Interior pages browned, here and there a spot, foxing - especially on the first and last 6 leaves of both parts and in the margins a number of leaves. A small crack, a few mm in the lining of the back cover that along the hinge at the bottom also loosens a bit

Contains two different title vignettes

Once issued as a prize bound, as evidenced by the imprint on the front boards, ex libris of Prof. Dr. Robert Theodoor Richard (Bob) Wentges (1933–2017)
