Lipsius Justus
Iusti Lipsi De Cruce libri tres
Ex Officina Plantiniana
Antuerpiae  -  1597  -
Apud Ioannem Moretum 
136, (8) p. ill.
18 x 11.5 cm.

Beautiful copy of this rare
16th-century edition of
" De Cruce ".
Many illustrations in the text,
some of which depict the torture of the crucifixion, with 
disturbing images of torture.

" In De Cruce, Lipsio espose la terminologica distinzione, da lui inventata, tra crux simplex e crux compacta, e nell' ambito della crux compacta, tra crux decussata, crux commissa e crux immissa ".

Beautiful binding of the time (but slightly more recent), in full leather. 
Spine with 5 raised bands, with golden floral decorations and red 
( title and author ) and green 
printer and date of printing) labels, framed and gilded.
Perfect conservation, with hinges,
headbands and panel all intact.

Generally clean sheets inside.
It should be noted the presence of physiological browning of the text, with slight stains on a few sheets and small defects 
( from erosion ) at the corners ( see photo ).
However, there is no loss of text, which is regularly consultable.
Small erasures (antique bookplates)
on the title page, where there is the
famous Plantiniana brand.
Endpapers preserved and slight spraying on the edges.
Work in good overall condition. A fine copy.
Collated. Complete.
