GOLTZIUS, Hubert

In-folio (31,4 x 22,5 cm), [2]-231-[29] pp, LVII pp, [1 bl], [58] pp. Engraved allegorical title page (laid-on), 57 numismatic plates (a few left empty) and printer's device on last page. Beautiful initials. Tears without loss repaired in pl. 29, 43, 45 and 49. Slightly foxed on some lvs., a few marginal wormholes only in the last lvs. The date of the title page has been modified in ink from M.D.LXII. to M.D.LXIII. With binding errors. Different collation than the ideal copy, in our copy the 'epistola dedicatoria' and 'praefatio' are bound after the text and the plates almost at the end, other copies in STCV also mention binding errors. Vellum binding, gilt filets on boards, spine renewed, red sprinkled edges, with closing ties
