(A few gatherings in second part with pale dampstain along top, minor stain to B1.) 18th-century French red morocco, spine gilt, all edges gilt. Provenance: partially effaced inscription on colophon dated 1597 – Louis-César de la Baume Le Blanc, duc de La Vallière (1708-1780, library inscription, bound for him) – John Ker, 3rd Duke of Roxburghe (1740-1804, his arms to binding, stamp 2) – Dukes of Devonshire (Chatsworth Library bookplate) – Bruce E.
