1528réf. 007941Firenze Florence: Li Heredi di Philppo di Giunta 1528. Second Edition. Full Vellum. Very Good. This second edition the first edition octavo in size was issued the same year as the genuine first edition which was published in Venice. 8vo. 158 by 102 mm. Unpaginated 220 leaves. Decorative vignette or device on title page with two seraphs on side of large fleur-de-lys. Same device in somewhat fainter print on final leaf with no other printing on page. Full vellum is contemporary or early at least with yapp edges. Leather straps used to create raise bands on spine also exposed deliberately on boards by joints. Title written by hand on spine. Two vellum leaves both narrow strips in front and rear. Both of these vellum pieces have ancient printed matter in Latin or very old and now faint hand-writing. Also some ancient hand-writing on final leaf some of it upside down. Part of title "Conteg" written on lower fore-edge. The vellum boards are a limp vellum and they now curve out as typical of vellum. The rear board is detached from the text block. The vellum has a moderate amount of soiling but not a level that should be concerning. It is an amount one would expect for a binding of this age and might be regarded almost as desirable "seasoning". Some of this will submit favorably to a cleaning even with a simple eraser if one so desires. The first and last leaves are somewhat gritty but overall the pages are comparatively clean and the text is entirely legible. [Li Heredi di] Philppo di Giunta unknown books
