The decoration continues into the spine and features with elaborate gold tooling, embossed roses, and filigree work. Five raised bands on spine. Some of the front boards are detached and in need of repair. Almost all the books need hinge reinforcement as the boards will come loose with light use. Leather along outer hinges is chipped and worn and there is some wear to the head/tail of the spine. Volume 12 has the most significant outer wear with loss to the head/tail of spine and both boards detached. All volumes have some wear to the raised bands as well. All edges bright gilt. Binding is square on all volumes. Each volume has hand marbled endpapers. The text block is crisp and clean with some occasional foxing on title pages/endsheets.
