Splendid volume, with a full parchment binding that brings together the 4 books of the 'letters of the illustrious señor don Antonio di Guevara'. The pages are: 1st book 260, 2nd book 295, 3rd book 199, 4th book 264, in addition to moral considerations there are 19 initial pages (title page, dedication, etc.).
The topics of the letters are varied, from philosophical to practical such as: medals, the art of navigation, inventions, biographies, etc.
