Vellum a little marked, a little worn to head of spine, but overall in good condition.

An important dictionary, first published in France, and here printed in Italy for the first time, with an extra forward to the reader and geographical digest in Italian.

Bindings a little marked, but overall a very attractive item in an exactly contemporary binding, and a nice provenance.
