Condizioni

Upper hinge of bookblock of the second part broken. Decoration on the frontcover to the first part partly almost worn off; vellum adjecent to the clasps darkened. Otherwise a fine copy.

A very fine example of one of the rarer types of binding, even rarer on a Dutch wordly songbook. For the songbook see Scheurleer p.64/65 (other eds.); no copy of these editions in the STCN. SEE ILLUSTRATIONS PLATE LXII.
