THOUGHTS FROM THE LETTERS OF PETRARCH; Selected and Translated by J. Lohse
London: J. M. Dent & Co., 1901. First Edition Thus. Tooled leather. 16mo (6" by 4"), decorative red leather with gilt embellishments, silk moiree endpapers, silk page-marker, marbled slipcase, 147 pages with gilt edges. Very Good + / Slipcase. Item #146
Charming pocket-sized selection of Petrarch's thoughts with slipcase (a bit worn). No foxing to engraved frontispiece depicting Petrarch.
Possibly specially rebound from the cloth edition.
Some discoloration and rubbing to brilliantly tooled red covers; upper and lower caps frayed and hinges worn; browning to edges of half title, otherwise pages clean and tight.
Overall, an attractive volume that would make an excellent gift.
