Summary 0	Corpus juris civilis, cum notis Gothofredi (1663)
Comments	Entry 75. Folio. Unique copy, printed on vellum, and divided into four volumes with the titles printed separately for each volume. Magnificent binding of red morocco, in compartments, with the arms of the States of Holland. In-fol. Exemplaire unique, imprimé sur peau et divisé en 4 volumes, avec des titres imprimés exprès. Magnifique rel. de mar. rouge à compart., aux armes des Etats de Hollande. On the flyleaf of the first volume a note in Dutch, signed by D. Elzevir, informs us that this copy, the only one printed on vellum, was made for the States of Holland at their expense. The execution of this book is admirable; it is perhaps the finest book in existence. I purchased it on the 19th of February, 1802, from an Amsterdam Jew for the moderate sum of 2,000 florins; my friend, Sir Richard Heber, several times offered me a thousand pounds sterling for it. Sur la garde du premier volume, une note en hollandais, signée D. Elzevier, nous apprend que cet exemplaire, le seui imprimé sur peau, a été confectionné pour les Etats de Hollande et à leur frais. L'exécution de cet ouvrage est admirable; et c'est peut-être le plus beau livre qui existe. Je l'ai acheté, le 19 février 1802, d'un juif d'Amsterdam, pour la modique somme de 2,000 florins; mon ami, sir Richard Héber m'en a plusieurs fois offert mille livres sterlings.
