Venice: Marsilio Editori, 1990. Hardcover. 24p., followed by XXXIII fullpage doublespread facsimiles in full color, a large atlas (plates 16.5x11.5 inches), the doublespreads separated by blanks. The handsome text-block is in fine shape, from the preliminary blanks through terminal plate and abbreviated colophon. The hard binding (blue-grey papered boards lettered white) has a badly split tail (one-inch gaps both sides) and a much less severely split top rim, plus continuous light abrasion to all extremities and corner-tips - damage perhaps owing to poor packing of this gigantic tome. A good --good only-- copy, much better than "reference" copy. Laid (truncated)
