Catalogue Note
The Manuscript Edition. Number 686 of 750 sets, this copy one of a small number with a leaf or fragment of manuscrtipt bound in to every volume, as opposed to the standard sets of the Manuscript Edition, which have only a single manuscript leaf bound at the beginning of the first volume.
A fine set in remarkable condition.
