Boards slightly warped and cocked, with corners bumped and light wear at spine; pages lightly toned, with occasional grime and damp staining at margins; G7 with small losses and tears at margins, K1 replaced with hand-written leaf; crisp and unmarked overall, a very good copy of this very rare, small-size Antwerp edition.
