Catalogue Note
A very fine, bright copy.
Sadleir notes two styles of binding, one using black ink in the decoration, the other not. In this copy (and that referred to by Wolff) black ink is used on the spines but not on the sides. In his comments on rarity and value (p.287) he states that "fine copies are very scarce, but do exist".
