Book Description

London: Printed for P. Vaillant. 1764 Contemporary full vellum, gilt lines, black label, marbled endpapers and speckled edges, title pages in red and black, armorial bookplate of Andrew Arcedeckne, Glevering Hall to front paste-down, vellum slightly cocked, but an early example of a parallel text in both English and Italian, with the Italian on the left and the English on the right. Would make a useful learning book, even today. Vaillant seems to have made something of a speciality of Bentivoglio printings, producing also a sole Italian text. This is the parallel English/Italian version. An attractive little book.
