Extraits de l'Histoire Ecclesiastique Tome II -- unique copy, handwritten book

(Claude Fleury)

Verlag: np, [France?], 1761

Beschreibung

Handwritten contents. Appears to be an original selection (hence 'Extraits' in the title) from the monumental "Histoire Ecclésiastique" written by Claude Fleury in the 1690's. Spine and title page note that this is Volume 2 only. Title page dated 1761. Hardcover, 8vos., full calf, raised bands and two leather and gilt title labels to spine, marbled edges and endpapers. 453 pp., including table of contents in rear. Beautiful penmanship, brilliantly aligned and ruled. Generally Very Good; corners worn; shallow chipping to spine ends; hinges drying up, but still secure. Clean interior. WorldCat mentions a book with similar title as published in 1729, but it also says that it's just 52 pages. A truly one of a kind item -- sadly, though, this is Volume 2 only.
