Histoire ancienne des Egyptiens, des Carthaginois, des Assyriens, des Babyloniens, des Medes et des Perses, des Macédoniens, des Grecs [five volumes]

Rollin, Charles (1661-1741)

1740, First Edition. Paris : Chez la veuve Estienne. Very good copies all in full [near] contemporary tree calf over boards, now showing some scuffs and bumped corners. Spines gilt-tooled with raised bands and leather labels, the latter partly lacking on all volumes. Joints and endbands rubbed, the latter with minor loss. Text blocks remarkably strong and well-preserved overall, the principal defects being a damp-stain to prelims of vol. 3 and minor worming to prelims of vol. 5. Otherwise, text shows only the expected faint foxing or offsetting of age. Folded matter sound, some with minor tears at gutter or creased panels. A well-preserved example overall. Provenance: Bookplate of John Sullivan, Esq. Further scans, images and additional bibliographical material available on request. Item #466283
