Descripción

Amsterdam, Nicolaes Biestkens, 1617. Old vellum, rebacked using the old spine. (10), 324 p. Richly illustrated with depictions of coins. 1st edition. Binding soiled and a bit creased. Large engraved 17th century bookplate. Free endpapers renewed. Title remargined. Many corners and one inner margin restored with Japanese paper. Some soiling and a little waterstaining. "New Emperor Chronicle or History Book of All Roman Emperors, Eastern and Western". In 17th century Dutch, this is the longest book title we have! The main attraction of this book is the depiction of numerous ancient coins and medals, although the descriptions of the emperors in prose and poetry is nice, too, if you can read the language. With a large attractive 17th century bookplate: two leopards holding a coat of arms with a winged dragon. Under this, a dragon with heads on both ends, each devouring a leopard. Unfortunately we don't know the name of the owner. N° de ref. del artículo 272974
