2 volumes in 19th century green morocco, modest wear at edges, hinges a little rubbed, but attractive bindings. Modest age toning and foxing, scattered minor stains - generally very clean internally. With a few old manuscript corrections, trimmed a little close at the fore edge throughout, often touching the outer plate edge of the engravings. With 100 marvelous illustrations by de Hooghe - a very nice edition, first published in 1701, of the classic collection of early renaissance ribaldry in the spirit of Boccaccio or Chaucer, but entirely and charmingly French.
