12mo: [36]-612-[48]-88 pp.

Contemp. vellum binding (sl. soiled). Nice copy.

J. Gruterus' Latin translation of Bacon's "Natural history" (1st posthumous ed.: 1626), published in Leiden by F. Hackius. It was the author's bestselling work during the 17th c., not at least because it was bound with the highly popular utopian novel "New Atlantis".
