Title within elaborate woodcut border with Jean Petit's printer's device (Variant B), large-format woodcut illustrations and elegant woodcut initials, text also printed in Greek (a little browned, C8 with repair with small loss in the lower margin, last two leaves with some repairs without major losses). Modern calf, title on paper label on spine, marbled paper slipcase. Provenance: some early annotations.
