Good - Contemporary full calf, blind-stamped with floral corner ornaments. Early armorial bookplate “Lord Sandys” on front pastedown (the Sandys of Ombersley; eighteenth-century hand). Old scholarly annotations/emendations in a neat hand on the front blank and occasional marginalia—useful evidence of academic use. Early price mark in graphite on the same leaf. Binding worn and scuffed; joints with short cracks but holding; corners bumped. Leaf edges toned; scattered foxing and the usual faint damp-mottling to prelims; one leaf with a small corner chip (not touching text). A good, complete copy with appealing provenance.
The final item, De Exilio, is traditionally printed under Cicero’s name but is pseudepigraphic; inclusion here is typical of 17th-century Oxford school editions issued under the Sheldonian Press (Bishop John Fell’s regime).
