Opus tribus tomis distinctum. Quid vero singulis contineatur, quarta pagina indicabit Author: Prado, Jerónimo de, & juan Bautista Villalpando Place: Rome Publisher: Ex typographia Aloysij Zanetti. Apud S. Marcum Date: 1596-1604 Description: Vols.

(folio) 41.5x27 cm. (16½x10½"), period vellum. Grandest of all works on the Temple of Solomon, with large (double-page and folding) and highly detailed plates. The rare volumes comprise commentaries on the Book of Ezekiel. The first tome comprises Vol. I and Vol. II, part 1; the second tome is Vol. II, part 2. There was a third volume, not present here. Lacking the frontispiece in Vol. I, and, apparently, 3 plates (the OCLC catalogue calls for 4 folding plates in the first volume, and we have only one double-page plate). The same description calls for 15 folding plates in Vol. II, part 2, a series on the Temple of Solomon; we are missing the 14th of those plates, but there are 8 additional plates, some double-page, perhaps the "text illustrations" referred to (they are included in the pagination). Sold as is. Lot Amendments Condition: Covers worn, vellum split along front joints, portion of Vol. I spine strip missing; a few old library rubberstamps, one of the folding plates creased rather badly, very good internally.
