Description:
Francofurti [Frankfurt]: Typis Wechelianis, 1601. Folio, pp. [viii] 696 [xxiv]. Printer's device to title-page and to final leaf verso, ornate woodcut endpieces and initials. Faint blotchy foxing, some leaves toned, occasional tiny wax spots, a few very discreet paper repairs. Later (approx. 1821-1860) tan calf binding by Clarke & Bedford of Frith Street (their ink stamp to upper corner ffep, verso), spine richly gilt with raised bands; gilt centrepiece, borders and dentelles to each board, a.e.g., marbled endpapers. Joints slightly creased, a little wear to endcaps but very good indeed. Centrepiece gilt arms of John Frederick Campbell, 1st Earl Cawdor (1790-1860). Campbell married in 1816 and succeeded his father in 1821, and these arms appear to postdate both of those events. Campbell was a Fellow of the Royal Society, MP for Carmarthen (1813-1821) and Lord Lieutenant of Carmarthenshire (1817-1860). Ownership inscription of J. Campbell in an old hand to blank leaf preceding title-page. A…
