Amstelodami: apud Ludovicum Elzevirium, 1651. New Edition. From the Library of John Louis Goldsmid (1789-1835), with his gilt crest of a “demi-lion holding three arrows in pale points downwards tied with ribbons” stamped on the upper board (University of Toronto Libraries, British Armorial Bindings). 12mo., contemporary full black morocco, raised bands, gilt fleur-de-lis symbols in compartments, a.e.g., (48), 498, (124)pp. With an engraved title page. Lacking the front free e/paper, inner hinges tender, some light rubbing to the extremities, the ‘arrows tied with ribbon' portion of the armorial crest is stamped in blind but has not been gilded (it does not give the appearance of the gilt being worn off but rather that it was never there), but this is still a better than very good copy. Goldsmid Vol.2, p.53 who states “A fine and rare edition.”
