Rubricated title-page, engraved frontispiece, with facing letterpress explanation, elaborate engraved head- and tail-pieces and initials, some engraved portraits in the text. Title-page gives 1657 as year of publication, but engraved frontis. shows 1656. Contemporary, or near-contemporary panelled calf, well-worn, particularly along the spine, upper board detached (but present), lower board nearly so, some scattered foxing, time-staining, and a few small rust-marks, a few small marginal ink-spots. Bottom corner of one leaf (pp. 355/356) torn away, but with no loss to text. The pagination is idiosyncratic, as often with books of this era, but the text is continuous. Sir Thomas North lived 1535 to circa 1601. His translation of Amyot's French version of Plutarch's Parallel Lives has been described as an early masterpiece of English prose. Shakespeare drew heavily upon North's work in preparing several of his plays. Supplement to this edition includes lives of such later personalities as the Black Prince, Charlemagne, Tamburlaine, Atabalipa ('King of Peru'), Gutenberg, etc. Condition - Fair to good, London, printed by Abraham Miller, 1656/7
