STORIA NATURALE DE QUADRUPEDI OVIPARI E DE' SERPENTI (2 Volumes)

Two Volumes. TEXT IN ITALIAN. 12mo. hardbacks, half-bound with vellum spines and marbled paper-covered boards. Titles hand-lettered in ink on spines. All edges speckled in orange. 360 and 384pp. Possibly some pages missing at end of Volume II. Both volumes illustrated with rather crudely but contemporary hand-coloured engravings. 19 of 24 plates present. Attractive bookplate of Carolus Casolari (see image) to inside front cover of each volume along with an old library label. Some occasional foxing, heavier to prelims. A little (old) worming to spine edges and light soiling to boards. Overall a Good Interesting Set.
