Descripción
6 1/8" x 9 3/4", consists of 16 double pages of an old thin paper (first two pages have been split along fore-edge), & 2 single sheets of similar paper (the first leaf, which is blank & the last, which bears a thick-lettered calligraphic inscription, signature or title on the reverse side. Appears to be entirely hand written, with various sized characters in black ink (some have been crossed out & replaced with others, or show blotting, smudges) and smaller red characters at the sides of text. See scan, which shows the first page of writing after the front cover. Bound & sewn in dark brown/tan, speckled paper covers with printed & inked catalogue slip pasted in lower left corner of front paper cover; lower left corner of back inner cover shows a few later inked characters. Margins of most text pages show some older dampstaining, not really damaging text or paper; some age-related wear & signs of use, rubbing, to book edges & covers, back cover is partly detached, & some of the sewing thread has been removed, a few bookworm holes to lower right corner of back cover. Cannot guarantee age, completeness or that the contents of this item have been correctly identified by an earlier 20th century cataloguer, but it does appear hand written, rather than block printed, though it could have been produced at a later date. A good example oriental calligraphy. N° de ref. del artículo ABE-190441402
