I haven't counted if they are all there but it seems like someone has left all 26 volumes. Not sure if they have any value but they are pretty old.

BTW this is monumental Latin dictionary of legal terms and jurisprudence edited and completed by Pieter Cornelisz Van Brederode 1596 this certainly has some value nice find.

Interesting, it seems like there was somewhat of a legal theme in this box. I'm going to keep these for sure; I'm very much into antiques but I never ever had anything this old.

Off-topic but I'm still figuring out where to post between reddit and lemmy. I wish more people made the switch. I was about to delete my reddit account but then I just posed again... Over the weekend I will try to find time to post a proper update here with more pictures.

Yes I do know what you mean about lemmy/reddit its just I can not get into reddit any more, the tone of the discussions here are just so much better, it is such a shame certain subs are less militant than others , the two I often used on reddit, book collecting and fl studio, basically seem as busy as usual , which is frustrating. However at the end of the day I am here now 90% of my social media time and very glad to have found a worthwhile alternative to work on.
