Item description from seller

[1] Basel, Andreas Cratander, 1529, in-folio, 305 x 199 mm, (24)nn pp + 117 leaves (= 118, error twice leaf number 116) + (20)nn pp (index) (complete, contains a last leaf not mentionned in the USTC collation). With contemporary finely executed rubrication in red, green , yellow and some blue. Title within woodcut historiated architectural border (signed HF), another historiated border on a1-recto by Hans Holbein. [2] Basel, Johann Froben, 1519, in-folio, pp 170 (= 174, a4-verso, b1, b2-recto , wrongly numbered or uncounted) + (2)nn pp (operis novissima) (complete). Title within woodcut historiated architectural border (signed AH = Ambrosius Holbein), 2 further woodcut historiated architectural borders, pp. a3-recto , pp b1-recto and several large initial letters ( 45 x 45 mm), of which three coloured. This copy also with contemporary finely executed rubrication and underlinings. Bound in somewhat later mottled calf, raised spine with gilt decorations and title label. Spine with restorations, joints cracked again but binding technically sound and with not many obtrusive signs of wear . Both works were rubricated by the same, first (?) owner, most probably J.Boerii, Archdyacon Z Contsen[ ] (?). His name on both title pages in the same (most probably his own) handwriting. In the second book also some marginal notes in the same hand. A John Boerius, archdeacon, is mentionned in connection with Durham cathedral around 1515. But we cannot interpret the addition Z Contsen[ ]. There are no other provenance indications apart from a small thumnail printed ex-libris of ''MN'' with the devise '' cy est mon amy le moins fol'', tipped-in on the first paste down. Nicely preserved collection of two Basle postincunables pertaining to ancient Greek philosophy and literature. Both works are extensively rubricated and colored. USTC N° 667214 and USTC N° 673353.…
