[Geneva] Henricus Stephanus, 1558. In 2nd. Typographic mark on the title page, slight blooms on the first cards, marginal aura of humidity on the last issues, binding of the century. XVIII in mottled calfskin, tears on the hinges, defects in the upper cap and back.

Specialist Notes

The very rare third edition of Leonis Novellae in Greek, published by the Scottish jurist Henry Scrimber (1506-1572) based on a new manuscript found in Fugger's library. A true typographic masterpiece from the Estienne presses.
