Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition of John Florio's tanslation, the first into English from French. Three parts in one volume with additional title pages for books two and three. Pages are 10 5/8 in. x 7 1/8 in. Bound with large portions of the front and rear leather from the original, or an early, binding laid down on a later leather rebinding. This old leather is decorated in a contemporary Cambridge-style blind-paneled calf, center panel tinted dark brown, with stamped decorations. Condition: Older leather is darkened and worn. More recent leather is fine, binding is tight and square. Early end-papers with a couple former owners' names.
