(A few occasional rust-holes catching letters, generally very fine and crisp.) 17th-century French red morocco, covers with triple-fillet border, spine in seven compartments, with six raised bands, gilt-lettered in two, a repeated floral panel in four, the last with gilt crest, board edges and turn-ins gilt, marbled endpapers, edges gilt, presumably a Derome binding (slightest wear along joints and at extremities). Provenance : Gaignat (note at front, sold Paris 1769) -- Payne (note at front) -- Michael Wodhull, 1740-1816 (note and purchase date 2 June 1770 on front flyleaf) sold Sotheby's London, 12 January 1886, lot 395. -- Bement -- Estelle Doheny (morocco bookplate; purchased from A.S.W. Rosenbach, Philadelphia, 27 June 1941) -- donated to SMS 1941. VERY FINE COPY OF ONE OF "THE MOST IMPRESSIVE AND BEAUTIFUL EDITIONS OF THE PLANTIN PRESS. It is the result of a rather curious publishing-adventure: realized with the financial help of the Spanish King at a moment when Plantin was considered by many to be a follower of the rebels, and... lived in rebel-held country and printed many ordinances and decrees decrying Philip II and his partisans" (Voet, p. 367). The 5 double-page and 7 full-page engravings were originally published in the Polyglot Bible (1571), and 40 of the smaller engravings were also used in the quarto edition of Arias Montanus, Humanae Salutis Monumenta , ca 1583. Adams B-1089; Brunet I, 877; Darlow & Moule 6173 note; Voet 690. WITH A DISTINGUISHED PROVENANCE.
