Signs of wear for the time and for reading, as well as preservation, some traces of worm on the central plates of the text, which, due to the minimal and non-invasive measure for reading, are therefore observable as positioned on the lower and outer part of the pages. Mild yellowing due to the particular paper of the era, with a visible defect at the upper tail of the spine. Signs of the passage of time visible externally on the boards, the corners appear worn but overall the binding is excellent in integrity, as the plates appear complete and intact. Red edges. The writing for the volume was printed in Latin on the inner columns of the Plates, while the excellent French translation is legible on the outer side of the page. Many annotations signed in Latin with historical descriptions, the indications with anthology references have been historically illustrated in Greek.
