Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Fair. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, original thin flexible vellum boards with knotted strings on turn-ins still being present, and handwritten title on spine. Exterior shows wrinkling to the vellum along with some soiling and scuffing, old paper label is present on spine. There is also a lett…er X on the front cover which is written in either blue or green pencil. Internal binding is good in text pages are tight. The front pastedown contains a similar numbered paper label along with a bookplate from the Biblioteca del Duque de Medinaceli y Santisteban. The title page has 8-5 written at the bottom edge. This appears to be the only handwriting found in the book, no other markings or library references. The reason for the low condition grade is because wormholes are present. Some of the wormholes do go into the text areas but a lot of it is outside of the text blocks. The worst issue being the first 90-ish pages where is a larger worm damage area which affects the upper outside corner section. The book would grade as VG otherwise but because of the wormhole issues it has been lowered to fair. The rear pastedown page is starting to lift but it is unknown if this is actually one of the end pages that is stuck to it or that the pastedown is starting to pull back from the boards. Text is in Latin and this is a small book, measuring only 4.75 inches tall.
