Descripción

780 pp. plus four plates; folio; recent quarter brown goatskin, cloth sides, six raised bands, leather label with gilt title, new endpapers. Original front blank mounted on a sheet in order to preserve early owner's name (Alexander Glass). A copy of the uncommon Dundee (Scotland) imprint. The plates include one with portraits of Vespasian, Titus, Josephus and L'Estrange and a map of Judea. Occasional marginal dampstains and other stains, particularly on some front leaves; some printed marginal notes difficult to fully read due to tight rebinding; some of the usual page mis-numbering, though contents apparently complete (collation and catchwords); some browning throughout and scattered soiling; occasional light chipping to page edges, with a few small tape repairs. Overall a good and still reasonably well-preserved copy. N° de ref. del artículo 3271
