8o (216 x 139 mm). (Some pencil and ink marks in the margins.) Contemporary diced russia, spine gilt, marbled edges (some wear to joints and edges). Provenance: Presentation inscription "From John Bohn" (presumably the London bookseller) on title-page; John Howell (bookplate).
Renouard was perhaps most known for his bibliographies of the Aldine and Estienne presses.

Taylor, p. 199.
