Condition: Very Good
A late 15th century trio of pseudepigraphic tracts printed circa 1470, attributed to Saint Augustine, Cyrillus, and Saint Jerome, all being the first Latin editions of these works. Around 1472-1474, an Italian translation was published by Bartolomeo da Cremona in Venice.
The work is rubricated throughout, with large, ornate initials in red.
The volume has been rebound in 19th century full calf, blind tooled to match the style of the 15th century.
One finely bound volume in small quarto, 64 leaves
This volume is in very good shape, with minor rubbing and wear to the binding, and some stress to the hinges. There is a small stain to the upper right corner, not affecting the text block. The first half of the text block has a very small wormhole to the gutter, also not affecting the text itself.
