All are bound together in a massive tome of unadorned vellum in good-only condition; the front board is warping beginning to split at the bottom near the spine; vellum soiled and the page edges have turned very dark. May have been rebound some time long ago; the endpapers are thicker than the text pages though they are laid paper; and the headbands are remarkably whole and unworn. The binding is quite tight.

Has a frontispiece portrait probably of the author with a caption in Latin. Title page in red and black and has a complex woodcut vignette which I think is a publisher's device. <br/> <br/> Berlegis Johann Heinrich Russworm hardcover
