Accession number:
PML 129486
Published:
[Paris? : s.n.], 1639.
Description:
[8], 318, [3] ; 24 cm. (4to)
Notes:
The 1st unnumbered leaf at end contains "Fautes à corriger"; the 2nd & 3rd, which are conjugate and unsigned & printed on heavier paper than the rest of the book, contain "Errata"; the 2nd list appears to be a revised & extended form of the 1st.
Imperfect: lacks the first of the three errata leaves.
The translation may have been made by Herbert himself; it has been ascribed, probably wrongly, to Marin Mersenne.
First edition in Latin, Paris, 1624.
STC (2nd ed.) suggests Paris as place of publication.
