Cloth, 4to, gilt and purple device on cover, 30 cm, xxi, 517 pp, plates (some tipped-in). 2653 entries. From a contemporary review: "If I mention that the Rosenwald collection includes such treasures as The Giant Bible of Mainz; Valerius Maximus' Facta et dicta memorabilia; a superb French Book of Hours ascribed to Geoffrey Tory; one of the four copies of William Blake's Milton and Pierre Joseph Redout�'s Les Roses, then I will give but a brief idea of its value and scope. The Rosenwald Collection ranges from a group of eighteen Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, through printed books of all the centuries and from all parts of the world. There are a William Blake collection of over seventy items, a collection of 16th and 17th century maps and collections of manuscripts, engravings and drawings." Lower spine somewhat bumped, slight rubbing to cover blocking, light soiling to rear board, frontispiece slightly pulled from hinge at foot, otherwise Very Good.
