On note of condition, this volume is in good shape, with little wear or rubbing to the vellum binding. The bottom part of the title is cut off with a loss of the imprint date, though it still collates to the 1633 edition. There is a pinhole on the right margins of pages 215-233, though not obscuring any text. There is light damp staining noted on several pages, with virtually no foxing throughout.
