The volumes are severely damaged. There is extensive dirt accumulation and fouling to the covers. The front cover is completely detached from the second volume. The spine is torn away from the spine bounding. There is extensive mould, watermarking and staining to all the pages in the second volume. The remains of the volumes are wrapped in protective covering. Very careful manual handling is required.

The final page has the following imprimatur: ‘Antonius Ligi, Archiep. Icon. Vicesgerens’. The Most Rev. Antonio Ligi-Bussi OFM Conv. (1799-1862), Domestic Prelate to the Pope, was appointed titular Archbishop of Iconium in 1851.
