Description from the seller
Full title: "Opuscula quædam selecta. Hunc legat omnis qui salutem æternam adipisci desiderat, humiliter orans"
First Lyon edition. Much rarer than the earlier edition.
Full leather binding. Moderate rubbing to the boards and edges, with loss to the corner of the front board. Gilt decoration to the spine is somewhat rubbed. Chipping to the head and tail of the spine. Label is lacking.
The binding is a little shaken to the front hinge, and the top board stays open as a result. Front end paper is half loose. Title page has attractive vignette to the centre.
Printed in two books bound together, with separate titles but continuous pagination. Text is in Latin, and pages are in good condition, with just a few tiny foxing spots.
