AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
“Renewed and Increased Armorial Book” Johann Siebmacher 1696.
Mostly colorized large-format armorial book with all 6 parts and appendix, with engraved frontispiece and about 12,000 armorial representations, from 1,200 copper plates on 622 plates.
The binding is rubbed, the corners bumped and partially restored. The hinges are slightly cracked and the front cover has a few stains.
The arms have later colorization. Some plates were not colored, and occasionally individual armorial representations. Additionally, the appendix is uncolored.
The pages are consistently slightly browned. The first part shows slight water stains in the upper area. From the second part onwards, the discolorations and stains increase and become noticeably stronger. Occasionally this causes small defects in the paper. However, armorial representations are affected only rarely and usually only minimally.
Some pages in the fifth part have a small tear in the lower area outside the copper plate. Some pages were reinforced on the back bottom for this reason. A few coppers in the sixth part and in the appendix also show somewhat larger reinforcements on the back.
In the appendix, copper 25 and the following empty sheet are loose.
The index at the end is in heavily used condition. There are throughout edge wear, tears, slight loss of material, and some unattractive restorations.
The last seven leaves of the index also show small losses in the text area.
Leaf D4 in the index has a supplemented loss at a lower corner with text loss.
The last five copper plates as well as the index have at the top a continuous small loss, which ends toward the end but is outside the text.
Partially with a slight imprint of the title leaves.
The title page of the first part was bound before the frontispiece and the main title.
Collation: 1 leaf, 1 blank leaf, title copperplate, 4 leaves, 227 copper plates on 115 plates, 1 leaf, 166 copper plates on 84 plates, 1 leaf, 201 copper plates on 101 plates, 1 leaf, 200 copper plates on 101 plates, 1 leaf, 318 copper plates on 161 plates, 1 leaf, 57 copper plates on 30 plates, 2 leaves, 30 numbered copper plates on 30 plates, 29 leaves
Dimensions: 33 x 22 cm
