First edition thus, this is the first edition of this facsimile reprint of the original 1645 edition. With the introduction in English, and the text in the original Latin. A very scarce work in any edition, and therefore this facsimile is scarce in itself. This reproduction was created by the Ordnance Survey, Dublin. With an introduction by Brendan Jennings. With the bookplate of Lowenac - Camborne to the front pastedown. Lowenac is now a hotel in Camborne, Cornwall. The building was initially built for a prominent local mining captain. A very bright copy of this facsimile, which is in the original Latin.
