The vellum binding is somewhat darkened and with a little marking, but is still flexible and has no cracks to it. The hand written spine label is still legible. Internally, clean and tidy throughout. There is a little darkening to the pages with the odd page having foxing spots. A few of the pages have tiny nicks to the edges and there is a tiny amount of worm damage to the rear of the book, but none affecting the text. Overall a very nice copy of this work. This is a reprint of this work. There were numerous editions, and variations of the work by different publishers. This work is translated by Remigio Fiorentino. His real name was Remigio Nannini.

Il y a un grand nombre de gravures sur bois partout, et chaque nouvelle date/leçon, a un chapiteau historié. Un très bel exemplaire.

Dans l'ensemble, un très bel exemplaire de cet ouvrage. Il s'agit d'une réimpression de cet ouvrage. Il y avait de nombreuses éditions, et des variations de l'ouvrage par différents éditeurs.

    Encyclopaedia Britannica says: "Barclay's Euphormionis Lusinini Satyricon - a severe satire on the Jesuits, the medical profession, and contemporary scholarship, education, and literature - is modeled on the style of the Roman satirist Gaius Petronius Arbiter; it is an urbane and facile mixture of prose and verse. Filled with villains and rogues, it contributed to the later development of the picaresque novel". Premier Ainsi. Demi cuir avec planches texturées. Six panneaux en relief à décor doré d'époque. Pages de garde imprimées à la main. Tous les bords des pages sont rouges. Les plats et le dos sont en bon état, avec seulement de légers frottements. Coins et tranches légèrement émoussés. À l'intérieur, il y a un ex-libris de la bibliothèque hongroise à l'avant et quelques petits timbres de la bibliothèque hongroise. La page de titre comporte des notes manuscrites à l'encre et une zone qui semble avoir été brûlée par une bougie. Sinon, quelques rousseurs sporadiques, mais généralement très bien pour son âge.

    L'Encyclopaedia Britannica dit : « Euphormionis Lusinini Satyricon de Barclay - une satire sévère sur les jésuites, la profession médicale et l'érudition, l'éducation et la littérature contemporaines - est calquée sur le style du satiriste romain Gaius Petronius Arbiter ; c'est un mélange courtois et facile de prose et de vers. Rempli de méchants et de coquins, il a contribué au développement ultérieur du roman picaresque ».
