| Description: |
| [4], 403, [1] leaves (408 leaves in all). aa4, a-g8, h6 (with h6 a blank), i-s8, t6, u-x8, y6, z8, &8, ?8, rx8, A8, B-C6, D-N8, O6, P-Z8, AA-OO8, PP-QQ6. With woodcut diagrams in the text; numerous woodcut decorative initials; large woodcut printer's device on final leaf. (folio) 11¾x7¾, recent blindstamped calf in period style, raised spine bands, leather ties. |
| The first one-volume edition of Aristotle's works, which, despite its claim to comprehensiveness, does not include the biological works. Nonetheless, a complete copy of Aristotle's Opera from the fifteenth century; all incunable editions of Aristotle in Latin are rare, and complete Latin editions of the Opera most of all. There is early ink marginalia and occasional underlining in the text. x1 (f. 157) misbound after D8; f. 158 (x2) misnumbered 157. Goff A-966. |
| Condition: |
| Tiny wormhole to first several and last several leaves, affecting a few letters; still in fine condition, quite clean. |
