Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Folio. Complete with the primary biographical dictionary, the full separate section header, text for the "Syllabus Fratrum Minorum" (Franciscan Martyrs), and the scarce concluding "Errata / Corrige" leaf detailing historic 17th-century martyrdoms in Albania. This deluxe copy is printed on thick, heavyweight, individual sheets that remain completely uncut and uncropped, perfectly preserving the wide margins and raw deckle edges exactly as they left the 19th-century press [Image]. Laid-in is a highly compelling, beautifully preserved original 19th-century handwritten manuscript letter dated April 12th, 1896, sent from 175 Charlemont Street, Dublin to the prominent Limerick ecclesiastical collector Rev. Timothy Lee. The text details a premium, multi-pound antiquarian book transaction including references to "Vind. Cath." and other rare theological works. Handsomely bound in contemporary half red morocco (goatskin) leather over marbled paper boards. Spine features five distinct raised bands elegantly accented with ornate gold gilt geometric tooling and bright gilt-stamped lettering ("LUKE WADDING" / "MARTYRS"). Marbled paper boards show rich patterning with minimal corner rubbing; a tightly bound, clean, and imposing shelf presentation. Text block is structurally rigid and secure. Title page and internal leaves exhibit normal, expected age-toning and areas of light-to-moderate foxing/brown spotting typical of early 19th-century Roman rag paper, without major text obscuration. Some loosening to inner covers, but holding well, last image. An extraordinary, structurally superior copy of Wadding's monumentally important Franciscan bio-bibliography, heavily enriched by its ironclad 19th-century Irish book-collecting provenance.
