Hardcover. A hugely popular book for centuries and considered partly a high spirited invention. Possibly originally mostly written by a Liege physician, a la Barbe, in about mid 14th century. A beautifully gilt decorated edition with a naval scene on the upper cover. 25 full page black & white drawings and many tail pieces and vignettes etc. by Layard. A touch of bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Also three 1cm sq discolourations at the place where the webbing for the binding lies beneath the front paste-down by the joint. The fore-edge has a touch of rubbing. But altogether a lovely copy. Very good indeed.
