Tertullian: (Novatian) (Le Prieur, Philippe; Pam?le, Jacques de Joigny de; Haverkamp, Siwart, eds.:) Opera, ad vetustissimorum exemplarium fidem sedul? emendata, diligentia Nicolai Rigaltii J.C. Cum ejusdem annotationibus integris, & variorum commentariis seorsim antea editis. Argumenta et notas in libros omnes Philippus Priorius de novo adjecit, & dissert Venetiis [Venice]: Typis Gasparis Girardi, 1744. 2 vols. bound as 1. Folio, pp.[viii], LXXXVIII, 748, x, [x], 166, [xxiv], 21, [I] + 1 plate. Usual small errors in pagination. Both title-pages in red and black with engraved portrait vignette, ornate head-and tail-pieces and initials, a few illustrations in the text. Without final blank. Vol. I title-page a little crumpled and dusty, a couple of small paper flaws to edges, generally very clean internally. Later plain vellum (perhaps late 19th century), spine label possibly from an earlier binding, edges slightly overlapped, all edges red, endpapers renewed. Spine darkened, label chipped, vellum a little grubby, corners a bit worn, very good. To ffep, ownership inscription of J.D. Coleridge, 1 Sussex Square, dated 1890 (or possibly 1870). This is John Duke Coleridge, 1st Baron Coleridge (1820-1894). A lawyer, judge and Liberal politician, he held the posts of Solicitor-General, Attorney-General, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and Lord Chief Justice. He was the eldest son of Sir John Taylor Coleridge, judge, and the great-nephew of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Dibdin rather bluntly says: "A reprint of the Parisian edition of 1675, with the notes of Havercamp in the Apology. A splendid, but most inaccurately printed book. It must be shunned." Dibdin 4th ed. I, 209 Ref: 54564show full image..
