This work was taken from La Seconde Semaine and was originally published as Part of Du Bartas in 1625.

In a full calf binding. There is wear to the extremities including areas of loss and bumping. The inner hinges are strained and the end papers have been removed. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are generally clean with the odd handling mark. There is the occasional institutional ink stamp but they do not interfere with the text. There are a couple of colour pencil notes to the front end papers. There is some slight chipping to the free end papers. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
