Folger-specific note
From dealer's description: "Quarto (108 × 145 mm.). Ff. [vi], 272; 6, A-Z8, Aa-Ll8. Roman type, some Italic, in double column. Printer’s large woodcut arms on title, floriated woodcut initial in dedication and typographical ornaments on verso of last leaf. In contemporary limp vellum, yapp edges, title in manuscript on the spine, later end-papers, remains of ties. Age toning and general browning, heavier in places [poor quality paper], small part of outer upper blank corner, and small blank part of fore-edge of title with good restoration, hole cut out of front pastedown, small light water-stain in lower part of the volume, lower outer corner of 3 torn, possibly lacking the catchword only, two tiny holes in last leaf with restoration, lacking a few letters recto and verso, also restored at gutter, tiny restorations to vellum. A good copy, in contemporary vellum. The exceptionally rare and enigmatic second edition, an almost identical copy of the first, with the same date and prefatory material, of the Tercera Parte of Calderon de la Barca’s works: a collection of twelve of Calderon’s “Comedias”, including the first printings of eleven of his plays. Until now this second issue has been known in only one copy, held at the University Library, Cambridge." Ordered from Nicholas Marlowe Rare Books D9307, 2019-05-30, Cat. Recent Acquisitions #11.
