Lot description
8vo: [8]-205-[11] pp. (first ff. stained).
Sewn into limp vellum leaf (stained, sl. loosening). Good compl. copy but obviously frequently used by a beekeeper hence its attraction.
Very rare Antwerp ed. of a very popular 16th-c. Dutch treatise on beekeeping by Th. Cluyt (1546-1598). Sm. woodcut at the end. Printed in Gothic type on somewhat coarse paper.
Ref. Not in STCV, Anet.
