Three title pages with engraved architectural borders, copperplates by Girolamo Porro (some spots and stains, with rust stains affecting first gathering; some sheets browned; a few wormholes; small repaired tear in margin). 18th-century vellum, title stamped in gilt on spine, speckled edges. Provenance: Bibliotheque I.G. Scorch (armorial bookplate).
