Basel, Johann Froben, 1520, Petit in-8, stiff overlapping vellum, smooth spine, jagged edges (Binding material 17th century). One of the first collective editions of Erasmus' commentaries on the Epistles to the Romans, Corinthians and Galatians. Executed by Hieronymus Froben on his father's presses, the volume is printed in italics and decorated with woodcut frames at the title and first page of each part (pp. 26, 201 and 431), curious lettering, headbands and a typographical mark on the last page. Manuscript ex-libris by Leonhard Burck (17th century). Lack and wear to the binding, restoration on pp. 201-204, marginal wetness, last leaf dirty. Vander Haeghen, I, 144 - Bezzel, 1163 - Adams, E-790.
