Some marginal numbering and a few underinings in pencil and some in ink at the beginning.There is some edge dusting and browning with some foxing while damp marks, though often marginal, also affect some of the text.However the paper remains entirely crisp and strong. 3 Excellent maps of the Roman Empire (Gaul, Iberia) included. This conforms to Willems 420 of the 1635 first printing in all points including the buffalo heads to the dedication & on page 1. The Willems catalogue entry considers this book the most perfect production of the Elzeviriennes for beauty of the impression, tasteful ornementation, as well as the purity and correctness of the text coming together to make this Caesar Willems' choice for the finest of all the books publsihed by these typographers. * This edt of Caesar`s most famous literary work by Josephus Justus Scaliger. 1 volume.
