Description
You are bidding on a very rare hardcover book. I will do my best to describe it, although it appears to be in Latin and Greek and I don't read either. I think it is the Life of Saint Irenaei but I leave it to the experts to translate. Here is what is on the title page: Sancti Patris Irenaei Scripta Anecdota, Graece & Latine. Notisque ae Dissertationibus illustrata, Denique Liturgia Graeca - Jo. Ernesti Grabe. Aueta, Labore & Studio Christoph. Mathaei Pfaffii. Tomus Primus. Lugduni Batavorum, Hagae Comitum et Francofurti Ad Moenum, Suptibus Societatie, 1743. I conducted a search and could not find another book like this one!!! There are 647 pages followed by an Index and Addenda & Emendanda. The pages are mostly clean and free of foxing, although a few pages have some foxing. The title page has the most but it is still quite readable. All pages are tightly bound. The book has hand-made laid paper. The book has leather binding, although the covers have become detached and the leather spine is dry and cracked. The book is a candidate for rebinding. There are two ink stamps and one bookplate from Stinnecke Maryland Episcopal Library - 1879 - The Legacy of Bp. Whittingham to His Diocese. Because the covers are detached, I have significantly reduced the price of this book and am selling it, as is, with no returns. This book would be a terrific addition to a collection. Very rare and very collectible! Great gift idea! (Inventory: 1462) Track Page Views With Auctiva's FREE Counter

Ron’s Book Nook was a complete privilege to do business with. Item was exactly as described, was packaged with extreme care and thoroughness to maintain the integrity of the antique book, communication excellent, and item arrived only a couple of days after purchase. Very satisfied with this transaction (price was reasonable), and would definitely recommend this seller.
