Third and final impression of this edition, comprising the Latin part of the first complete translation of Saadi's "Rose Garden" into any western language. Text taken from the Persian-Latin edition of 1651; the annotations are in Latin translation only. The engraved title page still bears the first impression's 1680 date, the charming illustrations were first issued in 1655.

Some browning, otherwise a very good copy.
