Item description from seller

The 1621 Jan Janssonius edition. Later full crushed morocco in scarlet, gilt borders and titles to spine. All edges gilt. Engraved pictorial title page. Just light bumping to the spine ends and extremities resulting in slight rubbing, odd mark to the boards, else lovely. Leaves just a touch age-toned. Clean of ownership inscriptions. Small open tear to the upper edge of p185. Appearing complete. A charming example of Curtius' account of the history of Alexander the Great, in a lovely later binding.
