Paris, J. Renouard, 1837). A composite binding consisting of six volumes with identical bindings and two very similar volumes. (Some minor restorations to the bindings. Wormholes in the margins of the volume containing Daniel, Ezra, and Nehemiah, restored on the last pages with some words altered. The set remains highly decorative).
