BINDING: ARMS OF JACQUES-AUGUSTE DE THOU.

ARNOBIUS. D.330. Commentarii, pii iuxta ac eruditi in omnes Psalmos, per Des[iderium] Erasmum Roterodamum proditi & emendati. Basel: Froben, 1560.
8vo (167 x 110 mm). Late 16th-century red morocco with the Arms of Du Thou stamped in gilt on upper cover, and "ADT" monograms on spine, edges gilt. Rubbed, joints starting, chips to spine ends, light foxing.
Provenance: Jacques-August de Thou (binding); Oliver Henry Perkins (bookplate); Lucius Wilmerding (bookplate).

A fine armorial binding made for Jacques-August de Thou, with his arms (prior to his marriage) on the cover. De Thou as a prolific and sometimes controversial historian and bibliophile. This copy then passed through the libraries of Oliver Henry Perkins (1843-1912) and Lucius Kellogg Wilmerding (1880-1949), both avid bibliophiles. Adams A-2000.
